>>>bump<<<

...for a generous tax guy!

 

Scott _DJK_ got me $2.1K on my federal income tax return last year and boy I enjoyed it.

 

Taxes are not due until August 15th!


can you say EXTENSION?





(however, you must pay all monies due by 4/15)

 

Haha, let me guess, you are sitting on a motorcycle typing this?

Actually you can also file a second extension which will extend you until October 15th if you are so inclined! Yes, all tax is due on 4/15 otherwise penalties and interest are assessed.

I have received a few PM's and emails from some of you guys (and girls), but I can definitely take on some more returns.

pm or email me if you are interested or just have a question!

Scott,

Can you answer once or two general questions man. I have an accountig degree, but never practice it.


I have been supporting my in laws this year (living with us). I provide shelter, food, utilities. Total is more than 50% of what they put out (spent).

They are both retired elderly receiving SSA (social security). I am planning to claim them as dependents.

I know the answers to these two question, but I have to ask anyways:

In the tax literature, gross income is almost anything that is not exempt from tax.

Is SSA a tax exempt? I am assuming it is.

Also, the combined SSA monthly is $1100.

Btw, do you all know that you can choose to deduct state income OR sales income!! Sales income can be sales tax you pay for the vehicle last year. Which is more, you should choose the higher.

Thanks in advance.
Tony

 

If the Social security benefits are their only source of income then they will be 100% exempt from tax and wont even need to file a federal tax return. If they have income in addition to the social security, you will need to determine if that income will put them over the filing requirement threshold which is $9700 for a married filing joint couple (would be even higher if they are over 65 and u didnt claim them) There is a worksheet that may help you out on the govt's website, go to:

http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040a.pdf

Go to the social security benefits worksheet on page 27.

Yes its true that in 2004, if you file a schedule A (itemized deductions), you may choose to deduct the higher of your California income tax paid OR your sales tax paid. Generally speaking, this new change in the law does not really affect California residents since the income tax rates are higher than sales tax rates (CA income tax rates reach 9.3% very quickly vs 7.75-8.25% for sales tax) It is true though in some cases, your sales tax will be higher than your income tax (for instance if you have a big ticket purchase like a vehicle).

 

Scott,

Both of my parent in laws are 72 & 76, so I can claim them with the three test past?

I have heard that if I claim them, the Social Security Department can reduce their monthly payment as much as $40 bucks per person. Do you know that is true?

Btw, when I say i supported them this year, i meant to say last year.




Thanks man.

Tony
