      Is Disputing Elderly Unemployment Denial a Waste of Time?

      What is the name of your state? Ohio My mother, who is almost 70, was forced out of her job back in July (due to a change in the scheduling at work that no longer allowed part-time employees). She had been with the company for 30+ years, and dismissed with not so much as a fruit basket or card...

      Are There Other Elder Tax Breaks I'm Missing?

      Thanks all for your help! This is pretty much what I figured, but I'm trying to help her as much as I can, so was leaving no stone un-turned. But her situation as mentioned above, is pretty straight forward. Nothing special about her circumstances, and she only has minor allowable deductions...

      Are There Other Elder Tax Breaks I'm Missing?

      Ohio I'm doing my Mother's taxes in Turbo Tax Deluxe, as I do every year, and I noticed her refund is significantly lower for 2022. This isn't too surprising, because she only worked two days a week all of last year. And she's 68, so she also lost her Earned Income Credit. I know the...

      Is There a Deduction/Benefit for Ceased Taxes?

      Thanks! This is what I assumed, but I figured doing diligence and turning over every rock (just in case) couldn't hurt. I really appreciate (almost all) the help above! Some of you were very help, so thanks!

      Is There a Deduction/Benefit for Ceased Taxes?

      I am actually. You'd like me in real life. It's just when I'm post-Nazi to death, that's when I get a little...grumpy.

      Is There a Deduction/Benefit for Ceased Taxes?

      First of all, because money in my pocket will put more food on my kids plate (vs it being in the Government's till...who'd barley know it's there). And I didn't ask for it all back. I asked for a benefit or small deduction that would help my family in some measure. Not an unreasonable request...

      Is There a Deduction/Benefit for Ceased Taxes?

      Ohio Last year, I was forced to hand over my entire tax refund due an existing federal tax debt that I settled in offer in compromise (as one of the terms). They also changed the law right after that, to where this was no longer required. But that's besides the point. Not receiving any refund...

      I'm No Longer a 1099

      Ohio For years I've been a freelancer (and I've used TurboTax for small business). It always helped get me my max deductions and increased my refund, working out of my home office. I was also paying all my own taxes. This year year was different. I was hired by an agency, who employs...

      Is Getting My Tax Return Back Hopeless

      Yes, all valid points. But I'm dealing with this after the fact. My question was if there is some internal department I can "appeal" to to see if they'd consider making an exception. This was also delayed into 2021 because the agent had me refile due to a clerical error on his part. So...

      Is Getting My Tax Return Back Hopeless

      Ohio I worked with a tax agent to file an offer in compromise for a previous year's tax debt back in 2021. It was signed and excepted in May of last year. The fine print said that I'd be losing the current year's tax return one more time before I'd start receiving them again. However, this...

      What Are My Mom's Options for Ohio Tax Debt?

      I did find an Offer in Compromise - Innocent Spouse from the Ohio Attorney General online. Would that be of any help?

      What Are My Mom's Options for Ohio Tax Debt?

      Ohio Tax Question My mother is disabled and elderly, only working two days a week (since my father passed away of cancer this past summer). She lives alone and struggles to get by. My wife and I help her where we can. I was able to get an offer in compromise settled on her behalf through the...

      Can I Be Sued By A Former Employer?

      Ohio I'm about to settle a dispute with a former employer. He believes I was an independent contractor for five years. I believe I was treated as an employee. We're about to sign a settlement regarding for an unrelated issue dealing with him not paying my final paycheck. In the settlement, the...

      I Don't Think I'm Really an Independent Contractor

      I found that form and I will be filling it out. Thanks for that! One more questions. Just generally speaking (as I know you can't give me specifics without seeing the contract), but does signing a work for hire contract that says your an independent contractor (but then be treated as an...

      I Don't Think I'm Really an Independent Contractor

      Update: OK, so I have been doing my diligence on this the last week or so, but I'm hitting a wall. Before going the route of legal council, getting in touch with the IRS seemed like the most sensible (and easiest) option to start. Which is what was suggested here. But easy is a relative term...

      I Don't Think I'm Really an Independent Contractor

      Thanks for the info. My boss micromanaging me and instructing me on how to do things, not to do things a certain way, saying he wants me to do this instead of that, and telling me when I need to do things, is some of the key reasons I feel I have a good case for being treated as an employee. I...

      My Final Check Was Withheld Falsely

      Thanks for all the helpful info. My biggest reason for feeling I needed an attorney is to find someone who can handle it for me locally. I have all the facts, and it seems pretty cut and dry to any judge that he just decided to get even with me by making up an excuse and not paying me. But I...

      Can I Get My Tax Return Back?

      Ohio I owe a back federal tax amount for 2017. I currently have an offer in compression processing. According to the agent I spoke to who evaluated it initially, she said it's very likely it'll get approved (especially if she is the one assigned to it). However, I filed my 2019 taxes and my...
