The internet provides vast amounts of information on pretty much any subject you can think of. When it comes to tax advice there is no shortage of tax information online but you must be careful.
You can easily get access to inaccurate information that could cost you big bucks at the end of the year. Getting the wrong information can cause errors on your return and cause your return to be audited.
Tips for Tax Advice Online
- Always use a trusted site to answer your tax questions.
- Any information received online should always be double checked by another source to be sure the information you are receiving is accurate.
- Don’t ever give out personal information when searching for answers.

For example, TurboTax Online will ask you questions throughout the entire process to make sure you are getting the largest refund possible. If you still have questions they provide free online live chat advice.
If you are ever asked to pay for online tax advice upfront it is probably some type of scam.

I am a recently retired senior on social security and with minimal retirement income.Have been regularly filing federal joint returns with spouse until last year.We realize we are not required currently to file returns as our combined gross income is clearly below the IRS threshold and further none of the other filing requirements per IRS guidelines applicable to our situation.
Qn1. Is it OK for us not to file this year (2011), and in that case would it raise any IRS red flags?.
Qn2. Once we stop filing,how we may provide evidence/ documentation of our "not required filing" situation for use by any governmental agency for processing a benefit that normally requires tax compliance?
Thanks. Will be grateful for your advice.

I have a daughter in college as my dependent.She uses my taxes for her FAFSA. I usually do my own taxes...this year Im at a loss. What do I do to get some little something back? What I make per month barely covers anything.

hi i have a quetion
I took a distribution from my IRA last year under the impression that as long as the money was returned in 60 days it was not subject to tax and penalties. I received a 1099R showing that it is taxable. What should I do? I don't want this to count against my taxable income.
I have a question about small business and tax income:
I have a small business and have been in operation for about 6 months. I have started helping customers and sold a few products BUT it looks like I will take a loss this tax year. Currently I am a Sole Proprietor and I am wondering if I should change to S Corporation or C Corporation? I want to get as much money back as I can (of course! :)

When filing a Fafsa application,the question "What was your income tax for 2011?" Does that mean tax paid, or total tax?
