Question: Tax Fraud! Help!?

I need answers from a professional. I am married but we have been seperated since October 2007. My lawyer and his lawyer have an agreement that My husband may claim our son on taxes as a dependent, but that he may not claim me as a dependent or file jointly with me, due to him not “really” being truthful on his tax forms about his self employment. I am sure he has filed our taxes as jointly even though I did not give him permission and my lawyer advised I was not signing jointly. I was a stay at home mom and did not file myself. How do I find out if he filed us jointly fraudulently? I went on the IRS site but there was NO option to see if anyone used your social to file, and I am at my wits end. He has got back tons of money fraudulently and I need help!!! Can anyone give me advice please?

Answer: Contact IRS and ask if your SS# has been used on a tax return. If they say they can’t tell you, ask for a supervisor. You have every right to know if he forged your signature on a tax return.

If he did, ask for a copy of the return. Your attorney will find it very useful. If there is a fee (that is usual but might be waived in this case), it could be the best money you ever spent.

Your husband should have filed Married Filing Separately and claimed your son.

I am assuming you do not live in a community property state, which has different rules for filing tax returns when a couple separates during the tax year.

Question: Do I need an EIN for a charity fashion show?

I looked over the IRS website but it didnt give me the answer I wanted. I want to organize a fashion show to raise money for St. Jude. The items will then be auctioned off to raise more money. Everyone working the show will be family and volunteers so no worry about paying employees. Tickets to the event will be sold to cover the costs of facility rental, ect. So, do I need an EIN and if so why?

Answer: St. Jude would have an EIN, as an organization. Why not use theirs?

Generally speaking, if you take in money, you will need to keep VERY good books, and even having a separate account.

If St. Jude have any attorney’s on retainer, you may wish to consult him or her.

Question: What do you think of Conrad Black?

Is Conrad Black a joke or a serious problem?

A few years ago he renounced his Canadian citizenship just so that the Queen could tap him on the head with a sword and pronounce him Sir Conrad. A standing joke is that in order to become knighted by the Queen( or king) someone already has to be a knight. Now that he is in trouble in the United States, he wants his Canadian citizenship back.

Why does the United States appear to be able to handle him more effectively than Canada?

Kevin O’Leary on the Report on Business Channel seems to regard him with a mixture of awe and amusement.

If “Sir Tubby”, through income tax evasion and fraud, seems to specialize in robbing liquid assets, does this tendency make him potentially less lethal than are George W. Bush and Stephen Harper through their foreign and military policies?

I am looking for opinions.

Answer: I sure hope Canada doesn’t grant his request.
