Tax Refund Returns
Question: How long does it really take to get an amended Tax Refund?
I filed my taxes about a month ago and already got my refund back. Hoewever, I didn’t claim my tuition and had to do an amended tax return. I couldn’t e-file the amended tax return so I had to mail it in. I did this about a week ago. I checked the IRS website and they said it could take anywhere 8-12 weeks to process amended returns. My question is, does it really take that long? Has anyone on here had to do that? How long did it take to get your refund?
Answer: I filed an amended return for 2008. I mailed it in on 12-28-09 and was quite surpised when I got my check for the amended return 6 weeks to the day. I had called the IRS to check on it at about 4 weeks and they had no record of it yet so I didn’t expect to receive it for a long time since they are into the current tax season. The man I spoke with said at least 12-16 weeks so there is hope!

Head Of Household On Tax Return
Question: my husband and i filed head of household on our tax returns can we get in trouble when we file bankrupcy?
we were seperated in 2008 but now are together
Answer: If you weren’t together at any time between 7/1/08 and 12/31/08, and each of you had at least one child living with you and provided over half the cost of maintaining your household, then you could both file as head of household. If one of you didn’t meet those rules, then that person couldn’t file as HofH, even if that person claimed a child as a dependent but the child didn’t live with him or her over half the year.
Your filing status and bankrupcy are unrelated, but if one or both of you filed as HofH and didn’t qualify to, that person needs to amend their return.

Late Tax Return Filing
Question: I am an American citizen and worked in Australia in 2002/2003, is it too late to file a tax return?
Would I have to contact my employers from that time to get tax information, like how much I payed and would they even have those records from 7 years ago?
Answer: Your employers will still be able to provide you with copies of your payment summary. The payment summary is the statement employers provide that lists the income you earned and the tax that was deducted. Give them a call or write to them and they should be able to provide this for you.
Your tax return can be filed on a paper form. To get a copy of the form, you will need to call the tax office. International callers can contact the Tax Office by phoning +61 2 6216 1111 between the hours of 8.00am to 5.00pm (Australian Eastern Standard Time or daylight-saving time) and ask for your call to be transferred to Personal Tax.
They probably wont be able to get a form for you from 2002/03, but they can provide you with a current form. If this happens, you will need to cross out any reference to the current financial year and write 2002/03 instead.
