I lived in the UK for 4 years, and didn't know I was supposed to report my taxes the whole time!\n\nYou don't have to pay taxes on your earning overseas b/c you paid them to the Irish gov't.  It's called a foreign tax credit, or something.  I downloaded the forms off the irs site and sent it in.  I didn't even send any docs with it b/c I never recieved any.\n\nThis best info I got from that was actually the webiste for the American Embassy in England.  Hope that helps.

Did you live in both states? Did you make money in both states? If you lived in a state for less than a year you would file a PY resident return. If you did not live in a state but earned money there then you would file a NR return for that state. I hope this helps you didn't give that mush info!!!!

If the states you lived in deducted state taxes from your check, Yes.  When you file this year your tax preparer should know what to do.  I had to file for MI but the state I live in now doesn't have a state tax.  so next year I only have to file the feds.  The tax person has to get the forms for whatever state. You file 1 tax for those 2 states and your current state.  Just take your w 2"s.  Make sure you don't have to do City also.  MI (Detroit) has a city tax.

You will have to wait until next year to file that income since it was recieved in 2006.  What you can do is pay estimated taxes on the amount you just recieved if you haven't already been taxed on it.

The rules go like this, you have 3 years to file your income tax return, since it seems that you will be getting a small amount back. You will not be penalized. Different story, if you owe money and wait to file, get ready for penalties & interest to be tacked on to whatever you owe.

don't listen to all the nonsense that people tell you. the real and only answer is what the IRS says in this matter.\nhttp://tinyurl.com/5u0d

You cannot claim them as income...nor would you want to...that would cost you money. If you lived soley on these funds with no income you actually do not have to file taxes at all. If you have income less than $7950 then you're exempt from filing if you meet the following criteria:\n\n*****for the purpose of earned income credit, you can file even if you have less than what obliges you to file. EIC will begin to credit you at $1 earned, but it is a minimal amount ($10). The more income you can prove the more its going to increase until it starts to come back down. There are a number of special rules for eic but students aren't one of them. There are a number of things you may not have thought of for income for a student...I have listed it with the links below...\n\ngood luck

If you made more than $8,200 lkast year then you have to file, otherwise, don't bother unless you have some coming back, which you might want to claim by filing.

The safest (and maybe smartest) way to approach this is to look into filing a 1040ES, Estimated Tax for Individuals.  It helps you estimate what your income not subject to withholding (such as your business) will be, and to calculate the estimated tax payment so you can make quarterly payments to the IRS.\n\nThis is advisable because if you under-withhold based on your income, you can be penalized by the IRS for it.  Here is a link to the form and its instructions.  You'll need Adobe Acrobat and/or its web plug-in to view it:

only if you are below the tax free threshold of $6001 or have deductions that will take it below that. (thats why you pay tax during the year so the tax dept. dont hit you with the bill at the end)

Yes.  Depending on how you file.  I would get your return done by a pro.  You'll pay a little, but they will save you more on the return.

Trying not to file your income tax this year???\n\nDon't worry, they'll track you down....

You still need to file, and would be better if you do it before they contact you (and if you had income that was reported, they will eventually, by which time you'll owe even more in interest and penalties.\n\nYou should always file even if you don't have the money to pay.  If you can't pay right away, they'll set up a payment plan, and yes, you'll be charged interest.\n\nYou're not going to be in some kind of major trouble, so don't worry about that.  Just go ahead and file, or contact the IRS and tell them your situation.  If they get your return without a check, they'll contact you to set up a plan to pay.
