2010, 2011 Tax Return Filing Online

Question: Did John McCain Run as A Right Wing Extremest During the 2008 Presidential Campaign? Social Security? Health?

Consider the following three issues and ignore the abortion issues nonsense.
Privatizing the social security was on the table?
He advocated the elimination of companies health plans for employees and substituting it with tax credits so the IRS can take it from you if they have a lien on you which may be disputable?
Military action on Iran including invasion or nuclear attack was on the table.
Limit your answers to these three topics only.

If you think the question does not make sense then do not bother to post.

At least one sentence dealing with these issues.
Were not these ideas about privatsing the social security and the health insurance tax credit soundly rejected and had very few supporters?
Regardless of the wisdom or lack of wisdom of John McCain position in privitzing the social security and investing it in the stock market was it considered on th efringe o fextremism?

Answer: Yeah, McCain is a pretty extreme conservative. Although he thinks he is a “maverick”…he falls right in line with the republican party. He voted 87.6 perceint of the time with them. His health care plan was pretty lame. I don’t think he has a clue about the American people. War, war, war…..and as to social security, I believe he said implied that was a program funded by the government…I forget the term he used. I was really amazed he made that comment when I found that he pulls down a hefty Social Security check monthly. He was probably blowing smoke on that issue, because he benefited.

Where’s My Tax Refund? – The IRS Refund Timetable Explained

Question: does this tax refund seem way too high?

i just netfiled my taxes with the CRA, using free tax software online. i filled out all of the forms and double checked everything, and my return amount is a little over 2,300. i had an income of about 17,000. i’m not a student, but i have one 1 year old child who i claimed as an eligible dependent. i live in ontario, if that information helps at all. the amount of tax deducted at my job was 1100, and the other income i claimed was not taxable. i know that i should be getting the WITB, the sales tax credit, and some money back for the exorbitant rent i’ve been paying… but 2300 bucks? something seems wrong here.

Answer: its not wrong, the earned income tax credit went up this year. so we’re all getting more.
i got over $4500 this year for my refund.
enjoy it.

Question: interest on nro account is subjected to tax in india?

hey guys I want to konw
I planning to open NRO account in India and Invest some money. I heard that in that account Indian govt will tax on my income.
I wnat to konw exactly how indian govt will tex on that income. I mean, is indian govt charge tax me on just interest or whole amount (priciple and interest both togather)
My worry is if indian govt charge me on whole amt then its gonna cost me, while if charge me on interest then its ok
And how much indian govt charge me tax me on my income.

Answer: You will be liable to Tax only on interest earned on deposits made by you in NRO account. Tax is not chargeable on principle deposited by you. The interest will also be liable to tax at source as per applicable rates of TDS. If your annual income from all other sources in India does not exceed taxable limits you may have to claim refund of Tax so deduced at source.
