Question: Could I start a church that would enable members to be exempt from Social Security?

Could I call it the Form 4631 Church?

So if I claimed that I was taken back in time by a prophet to form this church in 1949? Perhaps that would work!

Answer: Wrong form. Only your clergy could use form 4361 and that would exempt only their church-related pay.

The form 4029 is what the members use and you’ll need a time machine to be able to found the church by the cutoff date of 12/31/1950.

Question: omg ..why do irs an ny state do this?

ok i i owed 600 to the state. we filed our taxes and then i got a leeter from the irs stating they took out 600 out of the refund’

on the 15 they still took out 50 dollars out of checking account

i called today and they said i have a zero balance but to expect a overpayment refund back becuase they had taken out the 600 out of my state refund also.

so its they took 600 from my federal refun and 600 from my state refund and 50 extra from bank account…

now i have to wait like another month to get my overpayment…why are they like this? i thought they were supposed to be profecianal

Answer: They want their money. And it takes time for money and other information to flow from one branch of government to the other. So this all sounds like timing issues and not a matter of unprofessionalism.

The IRS received notice that they were to withhold $600, so they withheld $600. The IRS does not run the state government, so only did what they were told.

The state knew that you owed them $600, so they took their $600 from your refund. As this point, they probably notified the IRS that they did not have to withhold the $600 – but it was too late – IRS had already withheld it.

The $50 sounds like a regular payment or something that the state takes from your bank account. Or else they were watching your bank account and when $50 showed up, they took it. Again, it sounds like it was a timing issue. The department that took the $50, did not know that you were getting a refund and that another department in the state was taking the $600 from your refund. When the state took the $600, they probably notified the other department to not take any more money out, but again, it was too late.
