Free Tax Help for Last-Minute Tax Filers!
Are you one of the millions of people who have not submitted a tax return yet? The April 15th deadline is right around the corner and there are tax software providers that offer last minute tax filing help.
Using online tax software with efile is an accurate and fast way to file your taxes. No waiting in lines, no making appointments, no paper forms to sift through and no worries about losing your tax return in the mail. Plus, you will have access to many useful features and advice available even to the last minute filer.
Income tax software is updated to include the latest tax law changes, i.e. new stimulus plan that includes First-time Homebuyer Credit & Recovery Rebate Credit. Most tax software also has tools to find other deductions and credits to maximize your tax refund.
Some tax software sites offer a free tax software version that will allow you to complete your Federal 1040 tax forms and submit your tax return using efile for free.
Also, you can easily file state taxes at the same time; the income tax software will save you time by transferring your federal 1040 tax form information to your state return form. The prices to file state taxes may vary depending on the online tax software provider.
My personal favorite online tax software is eSmart Tax by Liberty Tax which offers both the regular tax form software features as well as tax advice. If your tax forms are more complex than you anticipated and you need the assistance of a tax pro, eSmart Tax offers a Premium Edition product that provides phone assistance with a Liberty Tax Service professional. With the eSmart Tax Signature Edition product, you can visit one of the many Liberty Tax office locations and have your tax return checked, signed, and e-filed by a Liberty Tax Service professional. Additional fees would apply for these added services but you would get the benefits of their eSmart Tax Refund Maximizer, CPA Audit Assistance, and the ability to compare "What If" Scenarios.
Go to the www.esmarttax.com website for more information on their paid and free tax software products. You can also find free tax tips on their website.

subcontractor-self employed-taxes-filing HELP?
i DID hardwood floors for a living. i worked for 1-1/2 years filling out w2s and w4s. 7 months ago my bosses son took over the company and wanted to save money. to do this, he did not want to have payroll beacuase he had to pay for the checks. so he began giving us hand written checks(personal check), and he would write down on paper how much we were to put aside each week for taxes. after about 4 weeks of this, he stopped because hes no good with money and our checks always bounced. he then began giving us cash(for the last 6 months). so, i have no record of what i made(he may have written it down, but claims he is missing a few months). when we began with the personal checks, he said we would be considered self employed, that HE was going to pay for OUR insurance. well that never happened, we just worked under the companys insurance. i just recently quit because i had to wait weeks at a time to get payed sometimes, so my question is...do i have to claim that money that was cash?
i mean, obviously i have to pay taxes on the 4(maybe 5) personal checks i recieved, but after that, all he may have is the amount he payed me written down, so there is really no proof that i ever worked for him after the personal check period......PLEASE HELP...VERY CONFUSED!!!
im not sure if he considered us self employed, or subcontractors...same thing anyways right? either way, we didn not have our own insurance, i just wanna know i if need to claim the money i recieved in cash
"As a business he can't just stop paying employee taxes".
contractors pay their subcontractors taxes? ok now im even more lost. maybe this will help more.
when his father ran the business he called it lets say abc floors inc. since the son took over, he closed the doors on abcfloors inc and opened abc floors(just dropped the inc.) at that point we began "subcontracting" under his company insurance, which i gather is legal. this company is such a friggin mess, anymore info u need to help me, please just ask
