The IRS Form 990 is a critical way that nonprofit organizations share information with the public. The newly revised form is more than a financial record; it is a public statement about your organization's governance, operations, expenses, revenues and programs. Today, anyone in the world can access your organization's 990. What does the new Form 990 mean to your organization? What does it say about the decisions you make on a daily basis? How are the nonprofit watchdogs interpreting the information?These and more questions will be explored in the workshop presented by Michelle DeRidder, CPA, Senior Manager from Andrews Hooper & Pavlik, P.L.C.

This class guides participants through the basics of that preparation. Subjects include determining independent contractor versus employee, withholding taxes, deposits and completing the proper forms. Presented by the IRS and the California EDD Tax office.

At a BBQ competition we vend food. The money collected for the sales is in the form of chips which we in turn give to the people who organize the competition. They give us 80% back in cash, keeping 20% for themselves. Are they required to issue a 1099 or are we in sense paying them, not the other way around. They are a nonprofit organization. If possible, please direct me to where the IRS states the rules. I appreciate any help!

Answer: The public paid the cash to them to get the chips. Therefore the organizer should issue you a 1099-Misc for the actual cash they paid you (the 80%). Since you were going to report this as income already, non-issue.

Would my mom receives extra money from IRS if she files me as a dependent and I am under financial aid? She forgot to enter my aid information on her tax return and by the time she realized it, it was too late. She filed the tax return via turbo tax and after submitting her tax she realized she forgot to enter my financial aid information and returned back to the turbo tax website. When she filled the information, turbo tax started showing extra money IRS owes us. It was too late as she already submitted the form. So my question is: If she files 1040X, would she get those extra money?

Answer: what financial aid is she reporting on her income tax? I don't know of any the only thing she can declare is one of the credit, Hope or Lifetime and that is not financial aid I don't know what she would file a 1040 X to correct unless it is to claim you as a dependent if she didn't previously and doing that may or may not result in any kind of refund

* The Obama Administration and Congressional Democrats have said that they want to raise taxes in the top two income tax rates in January 2011. Under their plan, the 33 percent rate will rise to 36 percent, and the 35 percent rate will rise to 39.6 percent automatically in January. These rates affect families and small business owners earning at least $200,000 per year * Unlike corporations, small businesses usually don’t pay their own taxes. Rather, business profits flow through to the business owner. The business owner pays taxes on her small business by adding the profits to her income tax form. Therefore, personal income taxes are the same thing as small business taxes. * According to the IRS, most small business profits pay taxes in households making more than $200,000 per year. The IRS keeps track of two types of small business income: sole proprietors, and “pass-through” entities like partnerships and S-corporations. * All small businesses. There were 30 million tax returns reporting small business income in 2008. On net (profits reduced by losses), these owners reported business profits of $981 billion. A large chunk of this net profit--$488 billion—faced taxation in households making more than $200,000 per year. A majority of small business profits will face a tax rate hike under the Obama-Pelosi-Reid plan. * Sole proprietors. There were 22 million tax returns reporting sole proprietor income in 2008. On net (profits reduced by losses), these owners reported business profits of $264 billion. A large chunk of this net profit--$90 billion—faced taxation in households making more than $200,000 per year. 34 percent of sole proprietor profits will face a tax rate hike under the Obama-Pelosi-Reid tax hike plan. * S-corporations and partnerships. There were 8 million partners and S-corporation shareholders in 2008. On net (profits reduced by losses), these owners reported business profits of $717 billion. A majority of this profit--$398 billion—faced taxation in households making more than $200,000 per year. 55 percent of S-corporation and partnership profits will face a tax rate hike under the Obama-Pelosi-Reid tax hike plan. http://www.atr.org/smallbusiness.html?content=5247

Answer: Because he wants more people do be dependent upon government so more people will vote for him in 2012. FDR did the same and Obama is doing the same thing and he is trying to destroy our economy even more

...is there paperwork/IRS form? I'm not sure how to pay the member. Just write a check or do I need to file paperwork as a trial and or use a form? Please advise!!!

Answer: Single member LLCs are taxed as sole proprietorships by default. The LLC can elect to be taxed as a corporation however. If taxed as a sole proprietorship, just write the check to the member. Remember that it is not a deduction. If taxed as a corporation, either write a payroll check, declare a dividend or designate the payment as return of capital. Report payrolls on Forms 941, 940, W-2 and the applicable state forms. Report dividends on Form 1099-DIV and report returns of capital on Form 1099-B. If the corporation is further classified as an "S" corporation, any profits not distributed in cash or property are reported on Schedule K-1. Note that W-2s, 1099-DIVs and 1099-Bs must be furnished to the member by 1/31/08 and filed with the IRS by 2/28/08. Schedule K-1 must be furnished to the member by 4/15/08 unless an extension is filed for Form 1120-S which extends the due date to 9/15/08. Multiple member LLCs are taxed as partnerships by default. Like the single member LLC they can elect to be taxed as a corporation (with profits distributed as described above). If taxed as a partnership, determine if the profit is a "guaranteed payment" which is classified differently on the tax return (and Schedule K-1) or a general partnership distribution. If a general distribution, report it as a withdrawal of capital on Schedule K-1. Members of a partnership are not furnished W-2 forms.

My spouse started a new job, when he got his 1st paycheck filing status had been changed to single and zero. The company emailed a copy of his W-4 and he has married and exempt (he meets both requirements to file exempt). When the company inquired about this filing I explained why exempt was filed and they said "you can't file exempt if a person is working". Can anything be done? There is only 1 income and that income has been about $3900.00 for the whole year. Am I not responsible for my own taxes. I read on the IRS website that a company can only change your tax withholding if they receive a lockout letter. I didn't misunderstand anything I have it in an email. Well we got all federal taxes back last year and we expect to get all back this year. (taxes was with held from the $3900.00) so he meets both qualifications. Madden: They didn't change it you did.

Answer: I hope you misunderstood them. A W-4 can only be used with a job, so duh, exempt and working go together. For a married couple, no kids, you can have $18,700 of income before owing income tax. *IF* your income was less than $18700 in 2009 and you expect it to be less than $18700 in 2010, then yes, exempt is legit. As for changing the W-4, the company is allowed to reject W-4s if they feel they are bogus.

I am foreign student currently study in united states,with no social security number.I had medical bill dispute with hospital,they said,as long as I file some sort of IRS tax return document ,then could be eligible for fee reduction,and they gave me the IRS number to me.I dialed the number,the automatic voice told me to input social security number first,something I don't have,or I can go on-line to visit IRS website. I went there,find out tons of document forms,quite dazzling,so I ask,how can I get a tax return verification from IRS? Thanks a lot I don't know about that,but hospital letter do say that,this IRS document ,some sort of income verification. Thanks ,I think I have to figure out myself,the dispute ,well,hospital ,or AMR, already gave a compassionate form (can't remember the full name),instruct me to get a nonfile tax return letter from IRS then they will give me a bill discount or something like that.

Answer: you are apparently on a student visa and very likely you have no income(I believe as students your are not allowed to work separately?) what is the basis of your dispute with the hospital? I am not aware of anything IRS has that pertains to any reduction of hospital charges

I lost my job last November and formed an LLC and started a business. Have not made much money, but have a ton of expenses to pass along to my personal return. If I claim income will I get nailed for unemployment fraud? Cause if i don't file taxes there is only a small chance i could get nailed by the IRS since most of my income is cash. Since no one is answering what I need to know, do they cross check unemployment to taxable income? My taxes would not say what month I earned the income. For all they know it could have come before I filed or after I stopped claiming.

Answer: Smooth move admitting unemployment fraud in a public forum. The state will find out about your income eventually and when they do you'll probably be required to pay back everything that you received. There are multiple fraud cross-checks in place to detect exactly the fraud that you are perpetrating. Had you properly claimed the income at the time that you earned it you may have kept partial benefits. But since you decided to perjure yourself by falsely certifying that you had no income the state will presume that your entire unemployment claim was fraudulent. If the state wants to play hardball they can also prosecute you for unemployment fraud. How does up to 5 years in prison sound for a felony conviction.

I'm planning on going back to college. Last time when I applied financial aid, I had to have a form saying I don't have to file taxes (I know this for a fact because I got the form and turned into financial aid before) because I have no income. One problem is that I forgot the name of this form. Another problem is that my adopted mom (grandmother) doesn't file taxes because she gets social security. She filed taxes before though because of a problem and now she doesn't have to. What is the name of the form? And do I have to have that same form for my mother or do I just bring the social security form and show them that? I already went there and couldn't find it. Which is why I'm asking. Found the form. Now does my mom need to file it since she recieves social security and doesn't need to file?

Answer: Form 4506-T, since your grandmother doesn't file then there is no need for you to request a copy. So you can use the Form 4506-T and request Verification of non-filing, use box 7 on form 4506-T Verification of Non-filing, which is proof from the IRS that you did not file a return for the year. Current year requests are only available after June 15th. There are no availability restrictions on prior year requests. Most requests will be processed within 10 business days . . This transcript will provide the financial aid department the information they need. Just have your GMA sign the return and date, if she doesn't sign the form it is it returned back to her as un-processable. good luck

Last year during tax time I was going through a lot of serious personal issues and had to move a couple of times within about 4 months. Anyway, I can't find my tax forms and I'm worried maybe I didn't even file them yet. How can I find this out? I know through the IRS, but can I try to find it online? Also, if I did file I'm not sure which address I would have used. Like I said, I had 3 addresses in a few months so I'm not sure which I would have used. What if I filed and they sent my return (I usually get a return) but I I was moving I never received it. Would I be able to ask for it again?

Answer: No you can't find out online if you filed. Call the IRS, or file form 4506-T asking for a transcript - they'll either have it or they won't. Different addresses won't matter - it goes by your ss#. If you had a refund and it was sent to the wrong address and returned to the IRS, yes they'll resend it if you give them your right address.

Our income is about $9500 through Social Security for the year. We won $1000 on a scratch ticket and I filled out the necessary forms when I claimed the money. How does this work if you are on a very low income? We don't want any trouble from the IRS so we'll pay what we are supposed to. I am scared we'll have to pay $250 or something back. Just wondering if anyone can advise? We are both senior citizens. I am 61 and a homemaker and my husband is 64 is the one receiving the Social Security income. That's all of our income in a nutshell.

Answer: Relax and enjoy your lottery winnings. If all of your income is from social security, or if you and your spouse are both over the age of 65 and have less than $20,900 in taxable income, none of your scratch ticket winnings are taxable. You will receive a 1099 early next year showing your winnings. You can promptly ignore this tax form, not file any federal return, and breathe freely. Double check with your state to make sure your winnings are non-taxable, but in most states they will be tax-free.
