2011-2024 Form

Individuals who don't own businesses spend tens of billions of dollars each year (in fees and time) filing taxes.  Most of this is unnecessary.  The government already has most of the information it asks us to provide.  It knows what are wages are, how much interest we earn, and so on. It should provide the information it has on the right line of an electronic tax return it provides us or our accountant.  Think about VISA. VISA doesn't send you a blank piece of paper each month, and ask you to list all your purchases, add them up and then penalize you if you get the wrong number.  It sends you a statement with everything it knows on it.   We are one of the only countries in the world that makes filing so hard. Many companies send you a tentative tax return, which you can adjust. Others have withholding at the source, so the average citizen doesn't file anything.California adopted a form of the above -- it was called ReadyReturn. 98%+ of those who tried it loved it. But the program was bitterly opposed by Intuit, makers of Turbo Tax. They went so far as to contribute $1 million to a PAC that made an independent expenditure for one candidate running for statewide office. The program was also opposed by Rush Limbaugh and Grover Norquist. The stated reason was that the government would cheat taxpayers. I believe the real reason is that they want tax filing to be painful, since they believe that acts as a constraint on government programs.

No, taxes are handled separately between state and federal governments in the United States.The IRS (Internal Revenue Service) is a federal, not  state agency.You will be required to fill out the the necessary tax documentation for your federal income annually and submit them to the IRS by April 15th of that year. You can receive extensions for this; but you have to apply for those extensions.As far as state taxes go, 41 states require you to fill out an income tax return annually. They can either mail you those forms or they be downloaded from online. They are also available for free at various locations around the state.Nine states have no tax on personal income, so there is no need to fill out a state tax return unless you are a business owner.Reference:www.irs.gov

Departments of education and school districts always have to make decisions about what to include in their curriculum.  There are a lot of life skills that people need that aren't taught in school.  The question is should those skills be taught in schools?I teach high school, so I'll talk about that.  The typical high school curriculum is supposed to give students a broad-based education that prepares them to be citizens in a democracy and to be able to think critically.  For a democracy to work, we need educated, discerning citizens with the ability to make good decisions based on evidence and objective thought.  In theory, people who are well informed about history, culture, science, mathematics, etc., and are capable of critical, unbiased thinking, will have the tools to participate in a democracy and make good decisions for themselves and for society at large.  In addition to that, they should be learning how to be learners, how to do effective, basic research, and collaborate with other people.  If that happens, figuring out how to do procedural tasks in real life should not provide much of a challenge.  We can't possibly teach every necessary life skill people need, but we can help students become better at knowing how to acquire the skills they need.  Should we teach them how to change a tire when they can easily consult a book or search the internet to find step by step instructions for that?  Should we teach them how to balance a check book or teach them how to think mathematically and make sense of problems so that the simple task of balancing a check book (which requires simple arithmetic and the ability to enter numbers and words in columns and rows in obvious ways) is easy for them to figure out.  If we teach them to be good at critical thinking and have some problem solving skills they will be able to apply those overarching skills to all sorts of every day tasks that shouldn't be difficult for someone with decent cognitive ability  to figure out.  It's analogous to asking why a culinary school didn't teach its students the steps and ingredients to a specific recipe.  The school taught them about more general food preparation and food science skills so that they can figure out how to make a lot of specific recipes without much trouble.  They're also able to create their own recipes.So, do we want citizens with very specific skill sets that they need to get through day to day life or do we want citizens with critical thinking, problem solving, and other overarching cognitive skills that will allow them to easily acquire ANY simple, procedural skill they may come to need at any point in their lives?

The question asks for your gross income from all sources. If you had been a California resident in 2011, you would have filled out Schedule CA, and the amount that appears on line 22 in Column C is the amount that California considers to be your gross income, your total Federal income adjusted for differences between California law and Federal law. That number - the one you compute by filling out Part I of Schedule CA as though you had been a resident of California - is what you put on the Request for Tax Return. That includes all of the income you earned outside of California as well as any that you earned inside of California. If you want to simplify the process you can just put the amount from line 22 of your 1040 on the form, reduced by any taxable state tax refund on line 10 that you received from California in 2011, any unemployment compensation on line 19, and any taxable social security benefits on line 20(b). Those are the most common adjustments to California income. If you had a small business or earned capital gains, you might have to do a little more detailed computation, and at that point you're probably best served by consulting a professional.

It would be illegal for an employer to fill out a W-4 form for you.However, if you have not signed a W-4 form and given it to your employer, the employer is still required to withhold taxes. If I remember correctly they must do as if you'd filled out the form as single with 0 exemptions.If you want to change what your employer is withholding, you should be able to go to Internal Revenue Service, print out a W-4 form, fill it out and give it to your employer.If after that your withholding doesn't change in a reasonable time (I think they're allowed a couple of weeks), then talk to the IRS.

A2A BUT We need more information to give you an accurate answer. There are 50 different states and 43 of them have some form of individual income tax laws, so that is 1,849 different possibilities of how to answer this question. That is before we even factor in that you did not tell us how long you lived in either state, which could be a day or 364 days.I can give you the probably answer which is yes you will most likely need to file with two states this year. Take a look at your two W2’s and at the bottom you will see what state(s) your earnings were reported to. If the W2’s have different states then absolutely you should file a return with both states, because what is on the W2 will be presumed to be accurate, even if your presence in the state did not actually rise to the level of needing to file. The biggest question will become if you are filing as a resident, non-resident or part-year resident. Your filing status can make a difference in how much tax you owe and unfortunately it is not as simple as just thinking you lived in a place for only part of the year so you were automatically a part-year resident.This is one of those situations where I would advise you that your taxes this year are complex enough that you really need to go to a professional to have your taxes done. That person should be able to review the specifics of your situation and advise you how to file.

Page on irs.govHere is the w-4. You'll fill it out and hand it to your employer/ HR Rep/ Who ever handles that sort of thing. This is actually a lot easier then it looks. For line A: If your not being claimed on someones tax return as a dependent (Note- Doesn't count if your spouse thinks of you as a dependent) put a 1. For line B: If you are single and this is your only job put a 1. If you are married and your spouse does not work put 1.If you are married and your spouse works but total you two make less then 1,500 put a 1. All else- leave blank For line C: This is one that is kind of up to you on how you want to play it (if you are married). Only put a 1 here if you are married for your spouse BUT if your spouse works OR for any other reason you might have to pay extra taxes at tax season you might want to elect to leave it blank, Single people leave this blank. Line D: write the number of dependents. (Not including your spouse. He/she was taken care of on line C). This will be all the children you claim, your parents if you claim them on your tax return, or any other family member/ person whom you provide most of the support for and lives with you. Line E: If you are single AND you claim children (Children under 18 not adult children) put 1. (also your filing status should be Head of House and NOT single. Line F: IF you have to pay more then $2,000 a year for child care expenses (daycare/ sitter/ tuition for fancy schools) and your going to claim the expenses put a 1. NOTE: if you use a sitter you need to know his/her social if they do not have an EIN. This is usually an issue for most people and the reason why lots of families miss out on this wonderful credit. Line G: This one seems more complicated then it is *sigh*. Alright- If your income is less then 65k (filing single)/ 95K (filing married) And you claim children 16 and under:Multiply the number if kids you claim by 2If you claim 3-6 children subtract that number by 1If you claim more then 6 kids subtract that number by 2. what ever number your left with is what number you place on that lineNow add all the previous numbers on lines A-G and place that number on line HCONGRATS you just got your exemption rate!!!  This number goes on line 5 at the bottom.1-4 should be pretty self explanatory. line 6 should only be used if you consistently have to pay taxes at tax time and you want to have more taken out each paycheck to make it stop. Line 7 should only be messed with if your tax preparer tells you you have no tax liability at tax season. Seriously- don't mess with this unless you KNOW WITHOUT A DOUBT you don't pay taxes. Now Sign, Date, and Turn in! (The bottom can be filled out by your company.) Hope I helped! -CP
