Taxpayer asks: I ran across your blog while searching for some info on the Tax “stimulas” rebate. To make it short, my husband and I are paying on back taxes (Federal – not state) for 2005. Will we still receive the rebate, or will it go to what we already owe? Thanks, I have not…
Taxpayer asks: I am an accounts payable clerk for a manufacturing company. Who should we be sending 1099 forms to? What would happen if we sent a 1099 to someone in error? Taxgirl says: There are lots of forms 1099. Here’s a quick rundown of some of the most popular: If your company pays out…
It’s kind of appropriate that the crisis management post that I had planned was to hit today. You see, I’m a little backed up on my things to do because, well, I had a crisis, of sorts. Following up on weeks (and weeks!) of my children contracting every bug/virus/infection known to man, I got slammed…
Taxpayer asks: I am a driver for a FedEx contractor, and I just recieved my 1099-misc form from my boss(the contractor) and I have no clue as to what to do from here. In the past, my jobs were paid by hourly wage and I received a W-2 for those. This is totally new to…
I’ve been tagged by Tracee at blogfabulous for a meme. I’ve memed before here and here. Hopefully, you’ll learn something new! Enjoy, it’s the weekend… enough of this economic stimulus talk! 1, When I was little, my great-grandmother told people in Greenville, South Carolina that I talked just like a Philadelphia lawyer. Apparently, she was…
Tax rebate checks will be mailed in May, according to Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson. Just a day after I criticized the rush to sign an economic stimulus plan, the House of Representatives voted 380-34 in favor a Senate version of the economic stimulus package. The bill goes to the President today and the White House…
I have been highly critical of the proposed economic stimulus plan and the crazed rush to pass any bill just to have something in place. It’s bad tax policy, it’s bad economic policy and it’s just plain terrible politics. Thank goodness that the Republicans put the kibosh on a mad rush to pass a half-baked…
You might have noticed that I was strangely silent for most of today… In fact, my normal taxgirl blogginess was replaced by a host of 404 errors, 403 errors and errors that I had never heard of before. We had some kind of hardware thing (yes, be very impressed by my technical knowledge) that brought…
It’s resume season at my law office, which means we’re getting lots of emails and letters from aspiring attorneys. I’ve also received a few inquiries at taxgirl.com asking for job advice for tax professional wannabes. So, in honor of the “season”, I’m reprinting a piece that I wrote last year. Consider it the “What Not…
I try not to politicize too much on taxgirl.com but the circus that is Congress and the White House trying to agree on an economic stimulus plan is really getting out of hand. In a move that I can only categorize as half-baked, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson issued a statement today urging the Senate to…
