I am doing my taxes by myself for the first time, and I heard somewhere that your state income taxes can be a write off on your federal income tax. Is that true?

Is a sales tax as fare to those who barely make a living, as an income tax?

With no sale tax those with high incomes and no income tax have it made. A $10 sales tax hurts low income people making say 6000 a year. But what is it to those making 50,000 or 100, 000 a
year. So you think if every poor person ‘puts their nose to the grind stone’ they too can make that kind of money. Ha!

My husband is getting paid $12/hr this payroll gross was $918. The deductions are $278.40 (child support) and all the other taxes deductions. I see everything in order but they started also holding Philadelphia local Income tax for $88.04. I did know about Federal Income tax and PA income tax but this Philadelphia taxes I never herd of them and the withold amount is almost 3 times higher than the PA one. So he is only receiving $ $344.28 this payroll. Is this right?

Do we pay income tax to the state we live in or the one we work in?

I’ve never really thought of it because I’ve always lived in the state I worked in. I know someone looking to move to Portland,OR (where they have a huge income tax but no sales tax). Vancouver, WA is only a 15 minute drive away, so she’s thinking of moving there (where there is no income tax and a huge sales tax). Will she pay income tax to Oregon because she’ll work there or will she be spared because she’ll live in Washington?

When someone gets their income taxes done (specifically in Ohio) is there a sales tax that is added to the cost of the preparers fees. If so is it charged on the total amount due/refunded or on the charge for the tax preparation itself?

5 Good Reasons to File an Income Tax Extension

With not much time remaining until the April 15 IRS income tax deadline, many Americans are scrambling to finalize their income tax returns. This year, a growing percentage of taxpayers will choose to file an IRS income tax extension, which will postpone their tax deadline to October 15.

If you’re considering filing an income tax extension, you’re not alone. The IRS recently estimated that 10.2 million of the 140 million tax filers will file for a tax extension this year. What’s more, approximately 2 million of those extensions will be electronically filed online.

File Later tax extension service – a popular website where taxpayers can file their income tax extension – compiled the following list of reasons why taxpayers should consider joining the growing trend of taxpayers filing a tax ex tension rather than stress about getting their returns completed by April 15.

Although the IRS doesn’t care (or ask) why millions of taxpaying Americans file for extensions every year, you may find these valuable:

1. Accountants and tax professionals are much busier in April than they are in October. Getting the proper amount of time with an accountant gets harder and harder the longer you wait leading up to April 15. Extending your income tax deadline to October 15 will give your accountant or tax pro that extra time to focus on your tax return, which may mean extra tax savings in your pocket.

2. Filing an income tax extension may reduce your chance of audit. IRS auditors have quotas they need to meet every year on the number of returns audited. Returns are sorted for auditors by filing date, and most auditors will have met their quotas before they get to extended returns.

3. Getting paperwork together to complete your taxes isn’t easy. Organizing that shoebox of W2s, 1099s, mortgage interest statements, and receipts can take longer than you expect. Giving yourself the extra time needed will ensure you’re taxes are done right, and extending will give you extra time to track down any additional deductions so you’re getting the biggest tax return possible.

4. For business owners, funding retirement plans such as Simplified Employee Pensions (SEPs) or SIMPLE IRA’s can be expensive. Filing for an income tax extension will also extend your deadline to fund these types of retirement plans.

5. It’s easy. Your income tax extension can be filed in less than 10 minutes using an online provider like File Later. The process is completely paper-free, and your extension will be e-filed, meaning you’ll get an email confirming the IRS has approved your extension, and you’ll have 6 more months to finalize your tax return.

And remember, even though you may be interested in the reasons to extend your income tax return, the IRS doesn’t care or ask. As long as your application is filed correctly, your extension will be granted by the IRS and your new tax deadline will be October 15.



Men don’t wait. Be prepared. Bher Valentines gift now!

File Later, provides a secure online solution for those individuals seeking to e-file an IRS tax extension (also known as IRS Form 4868). http://www.filelater.com
