Tax Assistance Center

Question: Should SAHM’s who live off government assistance be forced to work?
I don’t think its fair that women with multiple kids get to sit on their butts all day and leech off the system while we all have to work 9 to 5 jobs and pay taxes to support people like this. My boyfriend’s sister has 2 kids under 3 years old and she does this. She claims its because she would rather have her kids be raised by her than at a daycare center, which does make sense, but I feel like she should have thought of this BEFORE she was careless and got knocked up by 2 different men who had no intention of sticking around. I think women in this situation should be required to work at home at the very least. The rest of the country should not have to spend their hard earned money on lazy irresponsible people. What are your thoughts on this?
Answer: I agree. Too bad the democrats see it differently

Tax Assistance Corporation

Question: What makes people think the government should help financially?
Who started the crazy idea that government should help disaster victims, provide assistance to poor people, subsidize farmers, offer tax incentives, bail out corporations, plan for retirement, or provide health care?
Those all sounds like personal/local non-governmental projects to me.
Answer: You also have to take into consideration that whenever the government provides those things for someone, it must take money from someone else first. Government doesn’t produce anything, it only takes.

Irs Help Line

Question: no W2 for 2006, extension is running out?
I haven’t gotten my W2 for 2006. I only worked for them until March 2006, and I dont have any pay stubs. I have contacted the IRS and they were going to write them a letter. Well, months later, nothing has happened! Anyone know a help line? A website to report this? another Irs Help line?
Answer: Extension has already run out. So if you owe taxes, you will pay interest and penalty. If you have a tax return, then you won’t get it till you file.
Best option is to contact the employer. Or the Social Security Administration will provide copies of Forms W-2 for a fee.
