Question by moniquesanchez559: income tax ??? please help?
on my income taxes if i claim head of household, myself and one child, and i made $ 1,973.16 “income” for the i.r.s ” internal revenue service”and $ 2,040 from the E.D.D. “unemployement” HOW MUCH WILL I GET BACK

Best answer:

Answer by Tara H
There is information that I would need to accurately figure this.

Was there any withholding from the income?
Was the income from wages? Investments? Self-employment?
How old was the child? Are they related to you?
Did you receive any of the stimulus payment in 2008?
Did you pay for any child care?

Based on the information you have given me, I estimate that you will receive a refund of $ 672.00.

This refund is figured assuming the following:
The child is under 17 and related to you.
No one else is eligible to claim the child for earned income.
The income is from wages with no withholding.
You did not pay for childcare.
You do not itemize and had no other factors affecting your income.
You are eligible for earned income.
You received the full stimulus payment of 2008.

Raleigh Criminal Lawyer says North Carolina is Cracking Down on Tax Fraud

Raleigh Criminal Lawyer Damon Chetson

RALEIGH, NC (PRWEB) February 25, 2013

In recent weeks, North Carolina’s Department of Revenue has increased its enforcement of state Failure to Pay and Failure to File laws, resulting in a number of reports recently of criminal actions filed by the department, according to the News & Observer (February 20, 2013, “Married prison workers arrested on tax evasion charges”).

The increased enforcement actions are in part the result of a revamped computer system that has been in development for the past four years, said Raleigh Criminal Lawyer Damon Chetson.

In 2008, the North Carolina Department of Revenue began revamping its outdated computer systems as part of an overall project to improve tax efficiency, customer service, and departmental efficiency.

In addition, the new system was designed with the added feature that it would capture tax cheats.

For years, given the fractured nature of DOR’s computer system, tax frauds and tax cheats could escape detection simply because the old computer systems were did not easily reconcile accounts.

As the NC DOR’s new system gets up and running, tens of millions of dollars in missing tax revenue has been identified and much of it has been collected.

“Anyone who comes under investigation for failure to report, pay, or for underreporting income, should immediately talk to a lawyer,” said Raleigh DWI lawyer Damon Chetson.

In many cases, the DOR has not engaged in criminal enforcement, and those amounts have been paid back quietly as part of civil arrangements.

But as has recently been reported in WRAL, the DOR is cracking down for failure to file and failure to pay North Carolina state taxes.

Under North Carolina criminal law, failure to pay, failure to file, and underreporting of income can be misdemeanor or felonies under Chapter 105, and may result in the requirement that taxpayers pay the tax owed plus interest and penalties.

These three issues can result in civil and criminal penalties, for which it is important to consult with a lawyer.

Naturally, if someone has run afoul of North Carolina’s DOR, it’s not uncommon for them to also have problems with the federal Internal Revenue Service. Federal IRS regulations and tax laws can result in even harsher penalties.

Disclaimer: While The Chetson Firm works hard to achieve the best possible results in every case it handles, no outcome can be guaranteed. Past results do not guarantee future results. Each case is different. If you are facing a criminal investigation or arrest, seek the immediate assistance of a criminal lawyer licensed in your state. The Chetson Firm’s lawyers are licensed to practice in the state courts of North Carolina and in the federal courts of the Eastern District of North Carolina.

First-Ever Doorways to Dreams Save Your Refund Sweepstakes Selects First Winners: U.S. Taxpayers Have Until April 15 to Save Part of Tax Refund and Win Up to $ 25,000

Boston, Mass. (PRWEB) February 25, 2013

Four entrants in the first-ever Save Your Refund Sweepstakes that started Feb. 1 came out way ahead after saving part of their federal tax refund. After random drawings, each of the first four sweepstakes winners received a prize of $ 250 for splitting her refund using Form 8888.

The Boston-based nonprofit Doorways to Dreams Fund (D2D) created the Save Your Refund Sweepstakes as part of its mission to strengthen consumer financial security. Tax filers over age 18 who save at least $ 50 from their federal tax refund, by splitting their refund using Form 8888, can enter the sweepstakes at http://www.saveyourrefund.com until April 15.

The first four Save Your Refund Sweepstakes winners are Amanda Coffing of Romney, Ind.; Rebecca Boyle of York Harbor, Maine; Annette McCollin of Cambridge, Mass., and; Tezurra Gooding of Morrisville, N.C.

So far, sweepstakes entrants have reported saving about $ 144,000, including $ 23,000 in U.S. Savings Bonds, said Timothy Flacke, executive director of D2D.

“The first four winners say that the sweepstakes played a part in their decisions to save,” Flacke said. “We wanted to give people an incentive, and also make saving fun and less mundane.”

The Save Your Refund Sweepstakes has a $ 35,000 prize purse, including a $ 25,000 grand prize and weekly drawings totaling $ 1,000.

Americans receive more than $ 300 billion in tax refunds from the Internal Revenue Service every year. For working families, federal refunds are often the largest lump sum of income they receive, Flacke said.

“The Save Your Refund Sweepstakes encourages people to save as little as $ 50, which can jump start a year-round commitment to saving, even if it’s a little at a time,” Flacke said.

A recent study by TD Ameritrade indicates that the majority of Americans are more interested in saving and reducing debt than spending this year, suggesting that they have a more pragmatic, long-term outlook on finances.

Indiana winner Coffing, 29, said she used H&R Block’s online tax preparation service this year. After learning about the sweepstakes and Form 8888 through her employer, she decided to start saving for a down payment for her first home.

“I didn’t know you could split your refund into different accounts,” she said. “The incentive of the sweepstakes really gave me the push I needed to do it.”

About IRS Form 8888

Since 2007, tax filers have had the option to send part of their federal refunds directly to a savings product through a “split refunds” option available on IRS Form 8888. Beginning in 2010, on this same form, refund recipients could request that a part of their refunds be issued in inflation-protected U.S. Savings Bonds–either for themselves or for others (including children).

The Boston-based Doorways to Dreams Fund (D2D), a non-profit founded by former Harvard Business School professor Peter Tufano, has long championed savings bonds as a tool for helping low-and moderate-income savers. D2D’s mission is to strengthen the financial security and opportunity of low- and moderate-income consumers, and the organization views encouraging saving as a critical strategy to advance that important mission.

Question by GINGER: I became confused when I heard the word “Service” used with these agencies?
Internal Revenue ‘Service’
U.S. Postal ‘Service’
Cable TV’Service’
Civil ‘Service’
State, City, County & Public ‘Service’
Customer ‘Service’

This is not what I thought ‘Service’ meant.

But today, I overheard two farmers talking, and one of them said he had hired a bull to ‘Service’ a few cows. BAM!!!
It all came into focus.
Now I understand what all those agencies are doing to us.

You are now as enlightened as I am!

This is all I gotta say:
