2013-2024 Form

I hate when people ask a question, then rather than answer, someone jumps in and tells them they don't need to know--but today, I will be that guy, because this is serious.Why oh why do you think you can do this yourself?Two things to consider:People who get a masters degree in Accounting then go get a CPA then start doing taxes--only then do some of them start specializing in international accounting.  I've taught Accounting at the college-level, have taken tax classes beyond that, and wouldn't touch your return.Tax professionals generally either charge by the form or by the hour. Meaning you can sit and do this for 12 hours, or you can pay a CPA by the hour to do it, or you can go to an H&R Block that has flat rates and will do everything but hit Send for free.  So why spend 12 hours doing it incorrectly, destined to worry about the IRS putting you in jail, bankrupting you, or deporting you for the next decade when you can get it done professionally for $200-$300?No, just go get it done right.

First download the excel file.Then after all the relevant information is filled click on validate.After you click on validate XML file will be generated which is required to be uploaded.

I strongly recommend purchasing a tax program, Turbo tax, H&R block etc.These programs will ask you questions and they will fill out the forms for you.You just print it out and mail it in. (with a check, if you owe anything)I used to use an accountant but these programs found more deductions.

Download a blank Form W-9To get started, download the latest Form W-9 from the IRS website at https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/....

Some examples of U.S. persons include an individual who is a U.S. citizen or a U.S. resident alien. Partnerships, corporations, companies, or associations created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States are also U.S. persons.If you are not a U.S. person you should not use this form. You will likely need to provide Form W-8.Enter your informationLine 1 – Name: This line should match the name on your income tax return.Line 2 – Business name: This line is optional and would include your business name, trade name, DBA name, or disregarded entity name if you have any of these. You only need to complete this line if your name here is different from the name on line 1. See our related blog, What is a disregarded entity?Line 3 – Federal tax classification: Check ONE box for your U.S. federal tax classification. This should be the tax classification of the person or entity name that is entered on line 1. See our related blog, What is the difference between an individual and a sole proprietor?Limited Liability Company (LLC). If the name on line 1 is an LLC treated as a partnership for U.S. federal tax purposes, check the “Limited liability company” box and enter “P” in the space provided. If the LLC has filed Form 8832 or 2553 to be taxed as a corporation, check the “Limited liability company” box and in the space provided enter “C” for C corporation or “S” for S corporation. If it is a single-member LLC that is a disregarded entity, do not check the “Limited liability company” box; instead check the first box in line 3 “Individual/sole proprietor or single-member LLC.” See our related blog, What tax classification should an LLC select?Other (see instructions) – This line should be used for classifications that are not listed such as nonprofits, governmental entities, etc.Line 4 – Exemptions: If you are exempt from backup withholding enter your exempt payee code in the first space.

The Indian Income-Tax department has made the process of filing of income tax returns simplified and easy to understand.However, that is applicable only in case where you don’t have incomes under different heads. Let’s say, you are earning salary from a company in India, the company deducts TDS from your salary. In such a scenario, it’s very easy to file the return.Contrary to this is the scenario, where you have income from business and you need to see what all expenses you can claim as deduction while calculating the net taxable income.You can always signNow out to a tax consultant for detailed review of your tax return.

There are those who say that the government should regulate gun permits (and therefore ownership) in exactly the same way it regulates driver’s licenses. This position ignores the US Constitution and the Second Amendment, however, as this grants as a RIGHT the right to bear arms.Given that this is a defined RIGHT in the US Constitution, I would ask if you would similarly suggest that other rights be similarly regulated, such as the right to freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, and protections to personal property. Should these be licensed too as rights? For instance, should a person have to apply to the government for a permit to exercise their free speech rights? Should the press have to register and get a license to practice their freedom of the press rights?I think you would say NO, in capital letters.Several points of discussion follow:Those who disagree with the Second Amendment right to bear arms should fight to repeal the Second Amendment, not seek to dilute or invalidate that right by unconstitutional legislative action. To do so requires an amendment to be introduced, passed, and then ratified by 2/3s of the states in the USA. That’s simple enough — except that those who wish to eliminate or limit the right to bear arms know that it will never get ratified by 2/3s of the states and probably wouldn’t even get ratified by 1/2 of the states. That fact reflects on the democratic expression of America on this issue. Ignoring that they are essentially ignoring the democratic and popular interest, the anti-gun lobbies thus seek other means to get their way.For further discussion purposes and to head off pointless arguments that rehash age-old issues, the Supreme Court’s Heller decision makes clear that to exercise the right to bear arms, the gun-owner need NOT NOT NOT be a member of a militia. This was a point that needed clarification given that the anti-gun lobby was clamoring to make that a requirement to own a gun. On careful review, the Supreme Court ruled on the matter and put the issue to bed.The Heller ruling will likely stand for decades to come as it is unlikely that the Supreme Court will take up many gun cases in the near term (the previous gun rights case was over 70 years earlier if memory serves). I would suggest that people look up and read the Heller decision and the dissenting opinion(s) as it can form a very educational starting point for any discussions on gun rights in America.As to the RIGHT to bear arms, just because it is enshrined in the US Constitution does not mean that reasonable restrictions cannot be legally to be applied, such as denying guns to felons or the insane, etc.. However, licensing as you suggest, which implies mandatory training, initial and recurring testing to ascertain qualifications, is not likely legal, nor will it likely ever be applied on a national basis.On a state by state level, the legislatures may pass laws with varying terms that limit ownership or require certain types of licensing, but where they cross the line and violate the right enshrined in the US Constitution, those laws will likely also be overturned, one by one.The common arguments heard that the number of school shootings, mass shootings, etc., in America more than justifies a repeal of the Second Amendment or draconian restrictions on gun ownership — ala Australia — is spurious. The US Constitution stands. One can claim that the number of deaths warrant sharp restrictions and that the Founding Fathers did not foresee the future deadly nature of automatic weapons, etc., but this is all a matter of educated opinion. If the argument is compelling enough then 2/3s of the states should be persuaded to ratify a repeal of the Second Amendment — clearly, the argument falls flat.A final point, referenced just prior, is the argument that the Founding Fathers could not have foreseen the deadly nature of automatic weapons ignores that if gun ownership is to be limited to flintlock, black powder, single shot Revolutionary War era weapons. To hold that position ignores the precedent it sets that can be applied to other rights as well — should the press, for instance, be disallowed from using radio, television, email, cable, modern printing presses, magazines, modern postal systems, digital distribution through the web, etc., simply because those technologies were not around during the Revolutionary War. Clearly, the Founding Fathers didn’t see that the press might someday be 24/7/365, global, and entirely digital — they never imagined the world we live in, and so the rights should be restricted to the world’s technologies and understanding of the time…. I think any reasoned person would say no.Ultimately, I am not saying that gun violence is acceptable. I am not saying that the number of mass shootings should not bring the nation to look at alternatives. I am, however, saying that I support the US Constitution and the law of the land and I am absolutely confirming that I believe in America’s democratic system of government. I respect that the Second Amendment is a defined right, equal to all other rights granted in the Bill of Rights, and should be in full force and effect until it is amended or repealed by a democratic vote in accordance with the process laid out for amending the US Constitution. Holding this position is a confirmation that I am an American and a patriot.However, holding a position that seeks to repeal or replace the Second Amendment is also your right as an American. The path is laid out in law before you on what must be done to democratically achieve your goals. If the nation agrees and 2/3s of the states ratify, you may achieve those goals. No current amendment to change or repeal the Second Amendment is in draft or under consideration — why not? If you believe that gun ownership should not be a right, then get started on changing it — the right way and not in ways that are unconstitutional (as these are illegal on their face). Denying an American of their rights is a severe offense.Finally, I don’t suppose that you believe that licensing is required for you to exercise the right to call for changes of the US Constitution. Perhaps you might next claim that this too should require a license — you know, one similar to a drivers license, where they test you for political knowledge and organizational skill, etc., before you have a right to oppose and advocate for a repeal of the Second Amendment?

Why not indeed? In that case, anyone can own a gun at any age. Anyone can legally carry a gun on private property as long as they’re physically capable. Anyone can obtain a “learner’s permit” to carry any gun in public areas, even a handgun, at 14, and get a full concealed carry permit or license to carry at age 16 by passing a course and taking an eye exam, but undergoing no background check or fingerprinting. And if the child waits until 17 to get the license, he or she doesn’t even have to take the course, just the tests. And once the license is obtained, it is recognized in every state. There also would be no waiting time to purchase a gun or obtain a license.Getting drunk and killing someone would incur maybe a five year sentence.Insurance and registration are also not required when operating a motor vehicle on private property.My son at 17 legally owns and operates his car on public roads. He can’t legally own a gun.Now if we regulated cars like guns, here’s how it would be.No one under 18 can drive any vehicle anywhere without either direct parental supervision or adult supervision and written parental permission.Nobody under 18 can purchase any car.18 is the legal age for purchasing SUV’s (the best equivalent I can think of to a long gun), but SUV’s with extra features like all terrain tires, trailer hitches, snowplows, winches, and “high capacity” fuel tanks are considered “assault SUV’s” in some states and are banned there. It is assumed by big city politicians that nobody really needs these features and that only ignorant rednecks ever want them.Of course all vehicle purchases require a background check. And some may require waiting periods.A few states offer licenses, but don’t require them of in-state residents provided they are legally qualified to possess a vehicle. One state (Vermont) doesn’t even issue licenses. Some states may allow people as young as 18 to obtain a license, but it requires a course ranging from eight hours to several days, a more thorough background check, and fingerprinting. Most, however, don’t allow anyone to get a license until age 21. Some states insist you prove to your county sheriff that you need a car, and needing to go places when public transportation is not available is not considered a good enough reason. Waiting times to obtain a license after passing the tests can last up to three months in more permissive states, longer in others.Once you get a car and a license, good luck taking a road trip. Drivers will have to plan all interstate travel around which state will recognize their licenses, because reciprocity is not guaranteed, and driving in a state that doesn’t recognize your license is a felony.Absolutely nobody from outside of California allowed to drive there. Same goes for New York, Illinois, and several other states that don’t recognize any out-of-state license. Some states require you to keep your vehicles in locked garages with the fuel tank emptied and fuel stored separately.While some states may allow 18–21 year olds to own a sedan or compact (the closest automotive equivalent to a handgun) if it’s a gift, nobody can legally purchase such a vehicle until age 21.Waiting times may be placed on all vehicle purchases, depending on the state. Some states will not allow out-of-state residents to buy cars there. Waiting times to obtain a license can take up to three months in some states, even longer than others.Committing any crime with a car could get you a minimum of five years fixed. Kill anyone with a car, and you could be facing life in prison or even the death penalty.Buying any vehicle with an automatic transmission will require a federal tax stamp, another background check, and a personal letter from your county sheriff to the ATF vouching for your character. Once you obtain said vehicle, you cannot drive it anywhere without giving the ATF prior notification. And civilian ownership of all cars with automatic transmission manufactured later than 1986 is completely illegal.Yeah. People who want guns regulated like cars really don’t know what they’re asking for.
