Question: why would my computer stop during online forms? if I’m trying to do a form(Irs, etc) I’m kicked out suddenly.

I have an HP Pavilion mx90 running Windows XP. I could once do forms but something happened. I’ve just ran a virus scan and it found none. I’m trying to avoid a trip to Geek Squad, if possible. Thanks

Answer: Maybe some person banned u or kicked u out……
or use it ..use a different browser..if u use IE…try …Firefox..

or maybe theres a virus unknown……..

How to Complete and File a 1040EZ Tax Form : 1040EZ Income Section Tips

Question: Can I claim the recovery rebate/stimulus package even after filing this years return?

My situation is this:
2008: Last year, (2008) I filed as an Non-resident, even though I qualified as a resident. I understand that there was a stimulus package, which I did not receive, since I filed as a non-resident.
Circa 2009: From what I understand (after reading the instructions on the IRS web-site), people who did not claim the stimulus package last year are eligible for the recovery rebate. This can be obtained by filing out 1040 this year and claiming the rebate on line 70.
Now the problem. This year I made the same mistake (filing as a non-resident, form 1040 NR-EZ). I already received the refund from the Federal government.
My question: Can I amend my Federal tax for this year (file out 1040). If so, what do I do of the refund received.

Thanks all.

Answer: You can file an amended return, Form 1040X, within three years of the original due date to receive an add’l refund, if eligible. I am not 100% certain if your specific situation is amendable, but if your are eligible for a refund it’s in your interest to file a 1040X (which you will have to mail to the IRS).

You can download the Pdf 1040X and the address to send it to @ irs.gov. If you have any add’l questions I suggest you contact the IRS either by phone or you can goto a local office in your area to verify how to proceed.

Question: How to inform IRS of business closure?

I had a small home business last year and when we filed our taxes we added in the income from that business (we had a EIN#) I am no longer doing that work, havent for any part of 2008, but I want to hold on to the EIN#. Is there a form we should fill out or anything? I’d hate to not file anything this year and have a red flag go up….

Answer: If you had employees, check the box on the 941, 940, and 1120 or 1065, that says “~company no longer has payroll; out of business” or words to that effect. Same with the state sales tax, withholding tax and similar reports, if applicable. If you had no employees and this was just a sole-proprietorship, Schedule C business, you don’t need to do anything to keep the EIN “alive”. You may have to do something under your home state’s law, however, to retain your franchise (ie, corporation, partnership, LLC, etc.). Annual franchise taxes for a dormant business are usually minimal.

Good luck!
