Dad Died Before Filing Taxes

by Nick
(Carlsbad, CA)

Filing Taxes

My father passed away in March and had not filed his 2010 taxes. He was self employed, kept virtually no records of anything, and was on the verge of bankruptcy at the time.

The only documentation I have is his bank account records. I am not the executor or court appointed representative of his estate, but have been handling his affairs and dealing with the few assets he does have.

I have claimed some of his property (bank accounts, two old junker cars), so have some liability for his taxes. How can I go about filing an accurate return?

Do I File Form 8283 and Which Parts?

by Donna
(Wisconsin)

I have noncash charitable donations of clothing/toys/household items, etc. of over $5000 for 2009. Most of the donations (all made on separate days) are under $500 for each but two totals are around $600 each. Since all of these donations are similar items (bags of clothing and the like to Goodwill, etc.) and the grand total is over $5000 for the tax year, do I need to file a separate 8283 for each donee? Do I have to fill out Section B for each donee or can I skip that section? I have no appraisals. Each donation consisted of several bags of clothing and such and while the yearly grand total is large, no one item is. There were no over $500 single items. I am stumped on what to do. I read the instructions to the form and it's as clear as mud. My H&R Block software is not cutting it. It tells me there might be an error but doesn't tell me what to do. Thanks for any help!

Hello Donna,

Thank you for your question.

You will indeed need to list each individual donation as separate line items on form 8283. Anytime non cash charitable donations total over $500 (after adding them all together), you will need to fill out form 8283 and list each donation separately.

Regards!

Do I Need To file?

Hi! I can't figure out if I need to file taxes. I'm only 20 so I'm new to this. I was an independent contractor for a company and made $5300 before they let me go for being in the hospital.

I saved all my receipts (gas for example - the co. was 65 miles away from me). I didn't have a chance to set any money aside as I wasn't working there long enough. Can I set up a payment plan with the IRS or file an extension? And do I even have to file? If I do, what expenses can i write off?

Help!

Thank you!

E-Filing Queries...

by J
(Surat,Gujarat,India)

I have some queries regarding e-filling.

First Question:

Is the Digital signature mandatory as the message falshing on your website https://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/portal/howToEFile.do ?

"e-Filing for AY 2011-12 has been started (ITR-1(SAHAJ) and ITR-2 are now enabled). Digital Signature Certificate made mandatory w.e.f 1st July 2011 for Firms and Individuals whose accounts are required to be audited u/s 44 AB of the Income Tax Act' 1961. Click here to download notification no. S.O. 1497(E) dtd 1st July 2011 in this regard."

I have also read the following on your website.

(2) Types of E-Filing
•There are three ways to file returns electronically.
•Option 1: Use digital signature, in which case no further action is required.
•Option 2: File without digital signature, in which case the duly signed ITR-V form is to be submitted to CPC Bengaluru using Ordinary Post or Speed Post within 120 days of transmitting the data electronically. This completes the Return filing process for non-digitally signed returns.
.....

OR
As this text the second option still available?
Please guide me on this.


Second Question:

In case of e-filling ,what will be the proof with me that I have filled the return for the respective year.

For example ,What proof should I show to the manager when I go for a LOAN procedure or something like that.

If I filled with "without digital signature" option and post the acknowledgement print to nearest IT department,Will they send some hard copy to me again.

Please reply.

Thank you.

To File or Not to File

by Jack

I am considered a dependent on my Dad's taxes. I made $3200 dollars last year working over the summer. I also made $72.00 on a long term capital gain after a stock sale, as well as $42.00 from dividend payments on a stock. This total is less than $5700, so I technically do not have to file. However, my job withheld $222.52 for income taxes, so I want a refund. But when I do my 1040, the "qualified dividend and capital gain tax worksheet" says I owe $328 simply because of the dividend and the long term sale. If I had made 1000 bucks on short term sales I would be fine. This doesn't make since to me. Can I just write "0" instead of $328 since my total income is less than $5700? Or should I just forget about the refund and not file? I am certainly not going to pay more money to the IRS on such a small salary...
