⌛ Income Tax

Before moving here I contracted a Las Vegas Tax Firm to handle my taxes....since I have gotten married....they have failed miserably.....They suggest I get a local tax company to handle the problem

I do not know of any such tax company ?????

 

I'm not sure I would use a person here to do my U.S. taxes, even if such a person exists. There is nothing too unusual living here tax wise. You can claim your wife if she has an SSN or you can file the U.S. TIN form at the same time you file and you can claim her and get a tax id number. I used a Calif tax consultant but he was very expensive. If you didn't have stock sales or dividends it is really quite simple. By the way, you are late filing.

 

There has been problems getting the TIN..... Thought someone here might have had experience in that there are many Pinoy wives needing TINs

 

Union Bank helped my wife get her TIN for our new account..

 

If you are referring to a Philippines TIN, for U.S. tax purposes, a U.S. TIN or SSN is required in order to claim a wife on your tax return. Following is the web site explaining how to get a U.S. TIN. Taxpayer Identification Numbers (TIN)

 

have you looked into using turbo tax? Its pretty straight forward

TurboTax® Tax Preparation Software, FREE Tax Filing, Efile Taxes, Income Tax Returns

 

THANK YOU.....at least that is a place to start

 

I will give it a shot.... The people I contracted to do my income tax are supposed to be "professionals".... do this for a living..... and yet could not get the job done in THREE YEARS..... ?????

They had no trouble cashing my checks and ignoring my emails.... but could not get my wife a TIN

 

from reading that seems what you need to do is submit this form ...

FIRST I want to thank all of your for your support.....this is a great start and maybe I can beat this thing yet

SECOND I want to thank Rhoody for blocking that unnecessary cheap shot I was given..... it shows that he can be fair and has the best interest of the forum at heart.
