How much money can I expect from a tax exemption?

May 4th, 2010

It’s my first year in a new job and I am currently claiming 1 on my W4. My tax return was a little smaller than I had hoped this year, so I was thinking of claiming 0 to give me a bigger "bonus" next year. How much money can I expect to disappear from my paycheck which is usually around 50 after pre-tax deductions, and about 0 after taxes now?

Can I use my child as a tax deduction or does his step-mom have that right?

April 26th, 2010

My 10 year old son lives with his father and step-mother. I have paid child support all of the year of 2005. My son’s father is on disability and therefore cannot file a tax return. However, my childs step-mom did work PART of the year and now is saying that she is going to use my son as a tax deduction on her returns. I have always used my son and this will really mess things up if I don’t get to use him. So who has more of a right to use the deduction. Step-mom or myself? Also, what would happen if we both used him and how long would it take for this to be noticed?

qestion in deductions, real estate tax?

April 20th, 2010

Here is my situation: real estate tax for home, 00, doing tax return with taxcut

I entered real estate tax in Form 8829 for business use of my home, it deducts 0 in business expense for the 10% use of home business on Schedule C.

when I am upto the real estate tax in deductions, should I enter 00 as my real estate tax?

I am confusing since I see this in taxcut:
What about real estate tax that I entered for my business?
If you already entered real estate taxes in the Your Own Business (Schedule C) topics, don’t enter those same taxes again here.

thanks any helps.
