Question: how to sign tax form while filing online?

i am filing tax online for the first time. i am really confused about signing. how to sign the form while filing online in case of federal tax and in case of state tax they ask for the date the tax return form is signed. by the way, i am using taxact. please help.

Answer: I can’t speak specifically to TaxAct, but most online systems require you to include your AGI from your 2006 tax return along with a 5 digit self-select pin number.

If you do not know your 2006 AGI, you will still be able to submit your tax return electronically, but you will have to fillout, sign and mail in Form 8453. TaxAct should be able to provide this form for you to print and sign.

Some states do not allow you to file until your federal return has been accepted by the IRS. They are looking for the date you electronically filed your federal return as the date the tax return is signed.

Question: buying a car …help ?

me and my family are new in toronto, canada. It’s been two years since we’ve come here. My mom works in a Dollar Store and dad is a part time professor at Centennial College. Being part time, he doesn’t get paid much; about $600/mo and mom makes about $1000/mo and i have two more bros (age 13). and i (Grade 12) work at Mcdonalds make about $300/mo. so you can see that our financial status is very poor.
Well now i feel that buying a car has become very necessary for us. For different reasons it’s really hard to live without a car and specially in winter.

So is there any possibilities that Ontario Govt can help us by putting low tax and insurance on car. We have the money to buy the car but tax and insurance are the main problem to face.

if so how and what to do to make govt lower that taxes or can we take social service help?

plz any help appreciated. thanks in advance..

Answer: The government won’t lower the taxes on your car, sorry. They can’t really do much to help you in this situation. Insurance coverage is more up to you and your company than anything or anyone else. You can pay for the least expensive option but if you get into an accident you might be completely screwed.

The best option is to take your budget and remove from it the cost of insurance and tax. If that leaves you with an almost non-existent budget, then you need to save up for a while. Cars are never cheap and they need to be planned for with money in the back in case something goes wrong. In situations like yours, provisions need to be made not just for the cost of the vehicle but for all of the inherent maintenance and fees.

Question: New online-based job asking for tax information?

I applied for a job working online (IT Tech remote assistance) I’m sure that it is legit.. where I use to work their tech services were provided by the same company. To be “certified” as a tech I’ve passed a few steps and pre crap but now they are asking for a copy of my tax form. Is this the same as a tax return? If so why would a new job want old tax info? Shouldn’t THEY be the one to have to get that info if needed? ..I don’t want to send them that kind of personal information because it has bank routing information and a bank account number on it. –thanks.
thanks for the heads up, got to looking at my last return and realized that all the numbers on it is for my past job.. so inless their talking about a completely different ‘tax form’ their not getting any 1040 or w-2 info. thats info based off my last job anyways, has nothing to do with them. i emailed them and asked them why they need it, nothing back yet.

Answer: They either need a Form W-4 if you will be an employee or a W-9 if you will be an independent contractor. They have no need for copies of any of your tax returns, current or past.
