So general information:
My boyfriend is 18, and I am 19. We are both still enrolled in highschool.
My boyfriend gets child support payments from is adoptive/legal father, not his biological father. The child support payments are I believe, $300? But basically my boyfriend's mother... Read more »
Child support payments are for CHILD SUPPORT. That means they are paid to the person responsible for supporting the child, which is certainly not the child. In some cases the court allows the mother (or the father, sometimes) to continue receiving the child support for some period of time after... Read more »
I have been made aware that I should have filed my tax returns as married separately instead of single and it could affect my husband’s immigration process. He is living in Mexico and has never been to the U.S. How should I go about making an amend and what info do I need to provide on the form... Read more »
You are advised to ensure you status is accurate. If subsequent to the fling you were made aware of an error, you should amend the return as soon as possible with explanation of an “inadvertent mistake”. I hope this helps. Good luck. Zaher Fallahi, Esq, CPA (CA &D.C.;).

My ex wife and I filed our taxes jointly in 2019 despite going through an amicable divorce that was effective 01/14/2020.
She received my stimulus and did forward it to me, reluctantly, indicating she wanted her stimulus and some of mine. There are talks of possible additional stimulus... Read more »
You were not married when she received the check, one half of which belongs to you because of your marriage during 2019. You need to work it out with her and let her know that you are legally entitled to ½ of the money. Probably, it is not worth to ask attorney to write a letter to her. I hope... Read more »
I am a U.S citizen who is trying to get my husband a green card, We got married in 2017 and I have always filed my taxes single since then because I was told by the accountant that I didn’t need to do anything different since my husband did not live with me. Is this going to affect my husbands... Read more »
If you are married, you should be filing your federal tax returns as “married” and not as “single”. USCIS or the U.S. consulate can take the position that you are not in fact married based on your filed federal tax returns. Keep in mind that you will have to present your last tax return...

Currently, I belong to a church (Michigan, USA) that is not a 501c3 organization. Contributing members have undergone an IRS audit and been told their giving to the church is not tax deductible because it is not registered as a 501c3. The leadership of the church is hesitant to go through the... Read more »
You would need to speak with a CPA for a better answer concerning your particular situation. Nothing would preclude you from continuing to donate to this church, although your contributions are not deductible unless the church is recognized by the IRS.
If the IRS were to look back and... Read more »
I’ve tried to get my dogs back but the police say there’s nothing they can do since these people pay taxes on them. I raised both of these dogs from birth. Is there anything I can do to get my dogs back, please help!
If the domestic orders reference the animals you can bring a contempt action. Otherwise you can't prove the animals were not subject to your ex-husband's control to sell. If the animals were listed as property belonging to you or to be transferred to you as part of the property settlement in the... Read more »

You can call the IRS at 1-800-829-0433. They will investigate and take appropriate action based on their findings.
That depends on what kind of fraud you are trying to go about. The bar association and the IRS tend to frown on attorneys teaching people how to commit tax fraud so I will not be providing examples. Maybe your dad could show you how.
My father inherited land, which he sold in 2017 but did not pay the tax at the time of sale. The IRS charged these taxes in 2018, which my parents were paying at $200/month. There is still over $3,000 owing. My father died in April 2019. Is my mother still responsible for paying this tax?
It's going to depend based on filing status,potential innocent spouse defense, and possibly other factors.
Short answer is it depends. You should retain counsel to review the matter and deal with the IRS directly to challenge the tax assessed or work out a plan to resolve the amounts owed.
In community property states such as California, all income earned by either spouse belongs equally to both. Therefore, if you file separate married returns, you must total all marital income then divide it down the middle, with each of you reporting half.
How to get stimulus payment? I listed myself as homemaker and didn’t file injured spouse claim. I don’t think it’s fair that me and my kids don’t get anything is there something I could do?
There's not enough information here to determine a course of action. I would suggest hiring a local CPA or Tax Attorney to assist you.

My child receives SSI , I the mother represent her. The father claimed my child on his taxes. IRS is sending stimulus $ to all social security but will my child still get $1200 even though she was claimed as a dependent?
No, Father will receive an additional $500.
He waited till he got all the money in his bank and moved in with his new girlfriend. Has not provided anything for me or house or children.
Not sure I understand everything that is going on and you will probably have to have a one on one with a lawyer at some point to sort this out. Courts are pretty much close right now so you won't get a hearing any time soon to order him to pay support but the child support offices are probably... Read more »

You should consult with a CPA or a licensed tax accountant to assist you in amending your tax return. Hopefully, the amendment can put you in position for a stimulus check.
Good luck to you.
Garnished as well
If you owe back child support your stimulus check can and probably will be intercepted.
Gather what records you have, order IRS (and state if applicable) transcripts, draft returns and file. If you owe you'll need to work out a resolution, pay, installment agreement, offer in compromise, etc...
For that amount of returns I would suggest hiring a professional. They usually pay... Read more »
