Tax Refund Estimator For 2009
Question: Tax question, please help!?
Last year when we filed my fiance’s taxes, he was only working for 6 months at the job he is at now & he got a little over $4,000 back. We just started the filing process through TurboTax last night & the refund came to a little over $3,000! How is this possible?! If he only worked 6 months out of the year in 2008, but worked the full year in 2009, why are we getting back so little this time? Shouldnt we be getting more than that? We are super bummed, I even tried the tax estimator through H&R block online & said the same =[. Can someone please explain to me as to why we arent getting back as much (or more) than we did last year?! TIA!
i havent read all the answers yet but i should have added this: we have a baby together, who was born in 08.Answer: Okay you should know it depends on the amount of money he made not how long he worked. A lot of credits phase up and down depending on the amount you make so its hard to say without more info

Wife and I decided to buy house in Sept. We close Feb. 16 2009 can we claim it on our taxes? What about the earnest money paid already paid? She works full time and goes to school at night, we have always claimed her tuition at tax time but have never claimed the books, can we claim from previous years, we changed banks so is there any way of proving that we paid for the books. Some were on amazon, some were at school. We pay about 400 semester on books, and have never claimed them. She has been in school for 5 semesters now. i know about the first time home buyer tax credit interest fee loan, I just need to know bc Hr Block has an estimator calculator and asked if were first time home buyer. Not referring to the interest on house, first time is separate box to check. We have not paid any interest just earnest money. And last question why does hr block ask about stimulus check I thought that was not taxable. It changes our refund by the whole amount
Answer: Books are not deductible.
The rebate is a one time rebate on 2008 income tax. It was estimated on the basis of your 2007 tax return. They ask how much you received because if you are entitled to more based on your 2008 information, you will receive the difference. If you are entitled to less, you don’t have to pay back the extra you received.
The problem is the program they use assumes you got nothing and therefore are entitled to the full amount now. If they assumed you got the full amount already, they would show no change unless you got less than you were entitled to.

Question: Do I have to pay estimated taxes?
I’m self employed, my total tax for 2008 (1040 line 44) was $0, and while I did have to pay self employment tax, various after tax credits added to more than I owed (ie. I got a refund). In that case, am I required to pay estimated taxes for 2009? If I don’t and credits don’t happen to exceed my self employment tax, will I have to pay a penalty?
Answer: I had this happen once. If your estimated payments equal or exceed your previous year liability then there is not suppose to be a penalty BUT if your previous year liability or estimated payments was $0 then they don’t honor that rule.
It would be better to play it safe and pay in something every quarter or at least during the first quarter to cover what you estimate.
Also IF you paid self employment taxes, those taxes ARE part of your tax liability and unless they are covered by taxes withheld from an employer on another job, you could be penalized for not making quarterly payments to cover the self employment taxes.
I had over $8000 in self employment earnings last year but I also had a job that payed $30,000. At my job I claim zero dependents and single status but on my return I file as married Filing Jointly with 2 dependents so the extra taxes withheld from my pay at my job are more than enough to pay my income and self-employment taxes from my sideline businesses. In fact I expect a sizable refund.
