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

To make things simpler, ironically.The purpose of the AMT is to ensure that the uber rich pay at least a minimum amount of taxes, but has since morphed into something that hits the upper middle classes*. It does that by having fewer tax brackets, fewer allowed deductions and a higher standard deduction. What you owe is whatever causes you to pay more taxes.However, this needs to be done in addition to the traditional tax calculation. So you need to take your calculations of your various income measures, and put back in various deductions that are disallowed under AMT rules. Or have to be recalculated. It’s a pain.Either someone decided that this was easier than having a completely separate tax form to calculate your AMt tax or someone lobbied to have mor complicated taxes so you’d go to one of the tax places or download tax software.*With the Trump tax changes, AMT affects fewer people.

An online retailer based in Michigan will only need to pay Michigan sales tax on customer purchases made in state.However, that same online retailer may also need to pay sales tax to other states depending on where the online retailer has sales tax nexus.Sales tax nexus occurs when your business has some kind of connection to a state. All states have a slightly different definition of nexus, but most of the time states consider a “physical presence” creates nexus.Physical presence can mean a number of things, including:Having an officeHaving an employeeHaving a warehouseHaving an affiliateStoring inventoryDrop shipping from a 3rd party providerTemporarily doing physical business in a state for a limited amount of time, such as at a trade show or craft fairIf you suspect you might have a physical presence in a state, you can check with that state’s taxing authority to determine whether or not you have sales tax nexus.If you have sales tax nexus in a state, then you must collect sales tax from buyers in that state. For example, if the online retailer based in Michigan has an employee in California, they must pay California sales tax on all California purchases.

Recent statistics that I've seen indicate that about 66% of electronically filed returns are filed by paid preparers.  This doesn't necessarily mean that these filers don't have the intelligence but it does indicate that they have a level of discomfort and anxiety and prefer the solace of having a paid preparer fill out and transmit the forms. It all depends on the level of complexity of the form.  For the young wage earner living at home with his or her parents, who is able to operate a computer and can operate simple tax return software, I would think that 80% should be intelligent enough to fill out tax forms.  Especially because the software is designed to prompt and assist (and check the arithmetic).One of America's most respected jurists, Judge Learned Hand, offers a more thoughtful observation on the law of taxation: ‘In my own case the words of such an act as the Income Tax ... merely dance before my eyes in a meaningless procession; cross-reference to cross-reference, exception upon exception—couched in abstract terms that offer no handle to seize hold of—leave in my mind only a confused sense of some vitally important, but successfully concealed, purport, which it is my duty to extract, but which is within my power, if at all, only after the most inordinate expenditure of time. I know that these monsters are the result of fabulous industry and ingenuity, plugging up this hole and casting out that net, against all possible evasion; yet at times I cannot help recalling a saying of William James about certain passages of Hegal [sic]: that they were no doubt written with a passion of rationality; but that one cannot help wondering whether to the reader they have any significance save that the words are strung together with syntactical correctness.’ Ruth Realty Co. v. Horn, 222 Or. 290, 353 P.2d 524, 526 n. 2 (Or. 1960) (citing 57 Yale L.J. 167, 169 (1947)), overruled on other grounds by Parr v. DOR, 276 Or. 113, 553 P.2d 1051 (Or. 1976). The Humorist Dave Barry had this observation "The IRS is working hard to develop a tax form so scary that merely reading it will cause the ordinary taxpayer's brain to explode.” His candidate for the best effort so far is Schedule J Form 1118 "Separate Limitation Loss Allocations and Other Adjustments Necessary to Determine Numerators of Limitations fraction, Year end Recharacterization Balance and Overall Foreign Loss Account Balances"And don’t forget this observation from Albert Einstein “The hardest thing to understand in the world is the income tax. “  So if Al had trouble understanding taxes, I don't see how a mere mortal has any chance.

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?

There are no special provisions for a director of a company. He should file the return on the basis of his income . If he is just earning salary ten ITR-1.~Sayantan Sen Gupta~

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.
