Tax Attorney Long Island

i am considering filing an Offer In Compromise with the IRS and was quoted $3,500-$4,500 from a few tax consultants and attorneys … that is a lot of money … is there a way to file it myself ???

i couldnt file because i moved out of state and my mother had control over all of my assets,but i recently gain control over my assets again and i really would like to file and claim my income for those that i couldnt get before.

This is my first year filing taxes for my new business, an LLC. Will it be better to file separate and with a business or to file married and with a business. The LLC is only under my name.

Any additional tax advice anyone could give would be greatly appreciated. I have all my receipts organized and totals calculated. We’re military and I usually use the tax services that they provide but I’m thinking I may need to see a tax attorney.

Help!

I am an USA citizen (California resident). I moved to Taiwan 10 years ago to teach English. In the past 10 years, I file tax return in Taiwan, but I thought I don’t need to file tax return in USA and California. I earn approx. US$30,000 every year. Now I am applying green card for my wife. The embassy here ask me to file tax return for year 2005. My questions are:

1. Do I need to file income tax return (Fed and CA) for the past 10 years now?

2. Would I be penalized for not filing in the past?
3. Is private tutor income qualified for foreign earned income credit? If my students did not give me invoice, what kind of supporting document is needed?

My husband’s ex-wife has not followed the court’s orders outlined in their settlement agreement. She has not given him half of the family photos, she has not paid the taxes on the home that they still own together, because it just hasn’t sold yet, she didn’t put that house on the market by the deadline that the court gave her, she does not follow the rules of our insurance, yet expects us to pay half of the charges incurred due to going out of network ($150 instead of $25), she is constantly trying to poison the children against their father, etc., etc. She knows she is in contempt, and she doesn’t think he will take her to court, since we can’t afford an attorney. Anyway, does anybody know how we can get forms and detailed instructions on how to do this on our own? The goal is not to get her fined or arrested. The goal is just to get her to obey the court, like my husband does each month when he writes her a check for $725…even though the kids live with us 1/2 the time.

Why are some not given the priviledge to file their income tax online?

Can I file my first time homebuyer tax credit now, without waiting for filing taxes or should I file them together? Which process would be faster to get the tax credit?

We are closing on our home on jan 21 2010. Can i file for my 6500 long time resident tax credit on my 2009 tax return. Or send them together? would i get the credit faster that way? Do you think I would get all my money all together or in separate checks?

Hey there,

I have a cleaning business in Missouri. It is sole-proprietorship and I did not file taxes together with my personal tax (I also work full time beside my business). How can I go about filing that additional business tax?
Additional detail is that business made less than $400 after expenses. Still have to amend?

I have received my refund already.

He was found guilty today and used a little known argument in his defense that I’ve heard before from anti-tax protestors or advocates in the past.

After reading the article on Yahoo!, could someone in the tax profession (preferably a tax attorney) please explain whether or not Wesley’s defense was a valid one and that the government is simply refusing to allow anyone to successfully expose the fact that the Treasury department is not an agency of the IRS or, vice versa, and explain the actual meaning of the “861 argument?”

(To US residents only)(I am from NY)
1. WHat is the amount of income which requires filing tax return? Is it yearly?
2. Is the income year counted from Jan to Dec?
3. When is to file it? What is the benefit for filing it?
4. I earned roughly 1000 dollars last year. Do I have to file tax return for that year?

I’m getting ready to declare bankruptcy and need copies of my tax returns from 2002 to present. I never filed with a tax company so I don’t have immediate copies available. I lost all tax forms in a fire. How do I go about getting copies of my tax returns and W-2’s. I’ve also been told that I didn’t file my state taxes for 2 years 2003-2004 once I get copies of my W-2’s what is the best way to go about correcting this and getting filed. I know I will end up paying penalties and thankfully didn’t owe that much back then. I didn’t file the one year due to the fire. The second we are still trying to figure out. I live in Missouri if that helps out. This is all I need to officially file my bankruptcy so want it done fast.

I pay estimated (quarterly) taxes online. I was wondering when I file my taxes in 2010 will the IRS give me a form or something stating that I paid my taxes.
