Section 179 of the irs publication:
if i have written the check/paid for the vehicle in 2006 however is it on back order and does not arrive until january 2007, can i take the deduction in 2006???

Answer: Judy is correct, but I will also point out that the rules for section 179 expensing a vehicle change in 2007. It isn’t just that the vehicle has to be over 6,000 pounds. You can get more info on this at www.irs.gov. search 179 deduction or luxury auto. You should find the new rules.

Question: If my ex claimed my son as his dependent, but I’m qualified – should I file for him, or file grvnce with IRS?

I have my son more than 50% of the time – as is clearly outlined in our stipulation order (custody agreement), as well as his school, dr’s offices, dentist offices, hospital visits, religious education classes, and extracurricular activities all have my address listed as his home address. My ex has claimed him on his 2009 tax return. If I file a paper return, how long will it take for IRS to catch that two people filed for same dependent? Will I get my return & wait for 1 – 2 years for audit to take place? Or will they catch it right away? And is it better for me to claim my son, knowing that my ex has already claimed him? Or would the IRS prefer that I file without claiming my son and then file a grievance over the dependent?

Answer: Paper file with all of your documentation attached, with a note explaining your situation (give your exes SS# if possible). It will still take 3-5 weeks to hear back from the IRS, but it won’t be any 2-3 years.

Your husband committed fraud – and the IRS will not look at this in any good light. He will have penalties, interest, and possibly criminal charges.
