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: What IRS form do I use to add a partner to the partnership?

I searched the IRS website for the form. We applied for an EIN number on the IRS website but it only had one space for 1 partners name. What is the form that we must use to add the second partner.

Answer: To add a partner, you must first dissolve the existing partnership. Thern you start a new partnership.

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: Where was the republican outrage when their party was giving ACORN our tax dollars during the Bush years?

House Republican Leader John Boehner’s (R-Ohio) office searched the Federal Register and reported on October 16, 2008 that between 1998 and 2008 ACORN received $31 million in federal grants through 54 different grant programs and 11 federal agencies. That figure does not include monies received from state and local entities, financial support going back decades from the now-defunct Fannie Mae Foundation, and other nonprofit groups such as the Tides Foundation and Catholic charities.
