DON'T STEAL YOUR KID'S MONEY!!! The child received a settlement because she was injured or her parent died and you want to steal her money to party and buy drugs. If you want money, get off your lazy ass, stop getting wasted and get a job. Maybe your kid will respect you someday. If you steal her money, the day she turns 18, you'll never see her again....

First, you can't go to prison for not filing your taxes. You CAN go to prison for LYING on your tax forms (unless you're Hillary, then an apology makes everything all better). The taxes taken out of your paychecks are an estimate of your tax liability based on your wages. Say two people have the same job, making the same pay. Bob has no other income while Ashley gets $50,000 a year in dividends from stock she owns. Bob's income tax will be much less than Ashley's both have to file income tax returns to calculate the exact amount of their taxes; Bob will probably get a refund while Ashley will probably have to pay several thousand dollars more. If you haven't filed your taxes for several years, you need to consult a tax attorney.... Read More

IRS regulations provide that the custodial parent has the right to take the exemption for the child. The custodial parent is the one where the child sleeps the most nights during the tax year.If the child sleeps at each parent's home equally then it's the parent with the higher income. So if you're the custodial parent, go ahead and take the exemption. The IRS will cross reference and send you both a notice, then you give the IRS a copy of your divorce decree which states you have more nights (or you have equal nights and you're the higher income spouse). You win. If you're the noncustodial spouse, your ex needs to sign and give you IRS form 8332 for they years you can take the exemption. If he doesn't give you the form, have your divorce attorney file a contempt of court action against him.... Read More

Statutes of limitations are state laws, so each state has it own rules for collecting income taxes. However in all states, the statute of limitations starts to run when you file your tax return. So if you didn't file a return, the statute never runs. Ohio has a statute of limitations on ASSESSING the tax, meaning they can't change how much you owe after 3 years from when you filed the return. Ohio has no statute of limitations on COLLECTING the tax (plus interest, plus penalties). So if they make an assessment within the time limit, they can hound you for the rest of your life. So, if you filed the return back in day and paid the taxes, you can get this harassment to stop. If you didn't file your return and pay the taxes back then - PAY YOUR TAXES, DEADBEAT, SLACKERS LIKE YOU JACK UP THE RATES FOR EVERYBODY ELSE. Well, not as much as giving multi-billion dollar hospitals and the Felony Clinton Foundation huge tax breaks but every little bit of graft and corruption makes it worse on all Americans. And on Veterans' Day yet, haven't you got any respect?... Read More

Some states and cities require all businesses to get a license, it's a tax on doing business and when you pay the tax, issuing the license is automatic. Some businesses are regulated by state or local boards, and require a license to show that they meet the requirements. For example, restaurants are often regulated by a board of health and must undergo periodic inspections and meet equipment requirements. So depending on your business and your local, you may require one or more licenses.... Read More
