Taxpayer asks:
I am a single mom with 2 children. I only received a total of $300.00 for my stimulus check. Why? And what do I do?
Taxgirl says:
It sounds like you might be a victim of an IRS error. The IRS claims that the error has since been fixed and that they will send out […]
Taxpayer asks:
I am a US Citizen, living in Canada but commuting to the U.S. to work.
I filed a 1040 for 2007. I’ve read that I am eligible for the Tax Rebate, however, I have not received either notification letter. In addition, according to the last 2 digits of my SS# my check should’ve […]

Taxpayer asks:
I don’t understand. I have my stocks on a program that reinvests the dividends back into the stock. My broker says that this increases my bases. But my CPA says that I have to report this on my taxes. Why is this if I haven’t sold the stock?
Taxgirl says:
Dividend Reinvestment […]
Taxpayer asks:
Hi TaxGirl. I’ve searched all over the Internet and the IRS.gov website and I can’t find an answer to my question, so I’m hoping you can answer it:
My sisters don’t currently have healthcare insurance, so my mom is helping them with some of their healthcare bills and expenses. My understanding is that […]
Taxpayer asks:
Heeello! I was wondering if it is true that my stimulus payment could be taken for outstanding hospital bills I have yet to pay? If so, “How will that help boost the economy?”
Thanks for your time…
