			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Paying taxes accurately to the IRS before the deadline is something every taxpayer has to do. There are basically two ways of paying taxes; either you choose paper filing option or you e-file your tax return on your own using free tax software programs. Whether you hire a professional tax preparer or do it for yourself, your tax return needs to be accurate, authentic, and error-free. If the IRS discovers fraudulent return, then you may have to pay some additional taxes as well as interest and may be civil penalties are applied. And for that reason, here are some of the tax tips from the IRS you should take into consideration:<br />
<strong>1. Keep Your Tax Documents at Hand</strong><br />
While filing taxes online, you’ll need certain tax documents like receipts, forms, cancelled checks etc. that are supportive of your income. Get hold of all these documents at hand so that you can use them quickly when required.<br />
<strong>2. Keep an Eye on W-2s and 1099s</strong><br />
You should go through the forms like W-2s and 1099s that you may require while filing your taxes.<br />
<strong>3. Choosing e-filing Option</strong><br />
There are certain benefits involved with e-filing option. The tax software will take care of all math calculations. Moreover, if you e-file your return, you’ll get the confirmation note from the IRS within 48 hours as your return reaches there. If you choose Direct Deposit option for receiving your refund, then you’ll get your refund directly deposited into your bank within as few as 10 days.<br />
<strong>4. Check out “Free File” Program</strong><br />
You should check out the “Free File” program provided by the IRS in collaboration with 20 tax software companies. You’re eligible for this Free File tax program if your adjusted gross income (AGI) is less than $57,000. This Free File is best for the cost conscious taxpayers who wish to have reliable question-and-answer software to prepare their return.<br />

You can do taxes on your own using free tax software programs available online or simply get professional tax preparer to do taxes for you. You can visit IRS.gov to learn more about tax preparation services.<br />
<strong>6. Choosing Direct Deposit Option to Receive Your Refund</strong><br />
With direct deposit feature, you can get your refund directly deposited into your bank account which is faster than receiving your refund via paper check. Moreover, as your refund gets deposited into your account, so there’s no fear of getting your refund lost or stolen.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>State Sales </strong>and<strong> Use Tax</strong> is imposed on all retail sales, leases and rentals of most goods, as well as taxable services.</p>
<p><strong>Sales Taxes:-</strong></p>
<p>A sales tax is a consumption tax charged at the point of purchase for certain goods and services. The tax is usually set as a percentage by the government charging the tax. The tax can be included in the price (tax-inclusive) or added at the point of sale (tax-exclusive).</p>
<p align="justify">Most sales taxes are collected by the seller, who pays the tax over to the government which charges the tax. The economic burden of the tax usually falls on the purchaser, but in some circumstances may fall on the seller. Sales taxes are commonly charged on sales of goods, but many sales taxes are also charged on sales of services. Ideally, a sales tax is fair, has a high compliance rate, is difficult to avoid, is charged exactly once on any one item, and is simple to calculate and simple to collect.</p>
<p><strong>Use Taxes:-</strong></p>
<p align="justify">A use tax is a type of excise tax levied in the United States. It is assessed upon otherwise &#8220;tax free&#8221; tangible personal property purchased by a resident of the assessing state for use, storage or consumption of goods in that state (not for resale), regardless of where the purchase took place. The use tax is typically assessed at the same rate as the sales tax that would have been owed (if any) had the same goods been purchased in the state of residence. Typical purchases that require payment of use tax include those done while traveling (for things carried or sent home), through mail order, or purchases via telephone or internet. Use tax is also due on vehicles, off-road-vehicles, mobile homes, aircraft, snowmobiles, and watercraft purchased or transferred by an individual or business from anyone who is not a licensed dealer or a retailer.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify">Payroll taxes are the taxes that every business are required to deduct from the employees salary and pay to the state and the federal government, you are required to do this in behalf of your employees. Payroll tax is a regressive tax and more expensive than income tax, which pays for two social insurance systems namely medicare and social security.</p>
<p><strong>Payroll tax generally refers to two kinds of taxes: </strong></p>
<p>Taxes which employers are required to withhold from employees&#8217; pay, also known as withholding, Pay-As-You-Earn (PAYE) or Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) tax; and taxes which are paid from the employer&#8217;s own funds and which are directly related to employing a worker, which may be either fixed charges or proportionally linked to an employee&#8217;s pay.</p>
<p align="justify">Payroll taxes have two names &#8211; pay as you earn and pay as you go. For the majority of us, we already know about pay as you earn payroll taxes. If you&#8217;ve ever held down a traditional job, you will realize on your checks that certain taxes are taken from the gross amount. The taxes that an employer has to take out include federal income tax, medicare tax, social security and possibly state and/or city taxes.</p>
<p><strong>Structure of the Audit:-</strong></p>
<p>A payroll audit should follow these six steps reflecting the key considerations of the payroll auditor. They are:</p>
<p><strong>Step 1:-</strong>Payroll in your Organization<br />
<strong>Step 2:-</strong>Setting up the Payroll<br />
<strong>Step 3:-</strong>Supply of Information<br />
<strong>Step 4:-</strong>Resourcing the Payroll Function<br />
<strong>Step 5:-</strong>Payroll Security<br />
<strong>Step 6:-</strong>Developing the Payroll Function</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify">It’s a moment many taxpayers dread. A letter arrives from the IRS — and it’s not a refund check. Don’t panic; many of these letters can be dealt with simply and painlessly.  Each year, the IRS sends millions of letters and notices to taxpayers to request payment of taxes, notify them of a change to their account or request additional information. The notice you receive normally covers a very specific issue about your account or tax return. Each letter and notice offers specific instructions on what you are asked to do to satisfy the inquiry.  If you receive a correction notice, you should review the correspondence and compare it with the information on your return.</p>
<p>* Agree? If you agree with the correction to your account, usually no reply is necessary unless a payment is due.<br />
* Disagree?  If you do not agree with the correction the IRS made, it is important that you respond as requested.</p>
<p align="justify">Write to explain why you disagree. Include any documents and information you wish the IRS to consider, along with the bottom tear-off portion of the notice. Mail the information to the IRS address shown in the upper left-hand corner of the notice. Allow at least 30 days for a response.  Most correspondence can be handled without calling or visiting an IRS office. However, if you have questions, call the telephone number in the upper right-hand corner of the notice. Have a copy of your tax return and the correspondence available when you call to help us respond to your inquiry.  Be sure to keep copies of any correspondence with your records.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you expecting a refund from the IRS this year? Here are the top ten things you should know about your refund.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Refund Options</strong> You have two options for receiving your individual <span id="lw_1239422236_30" class="yshortcuts" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed #0066cc; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; cursor: pointer;">federal income tax refund</span>: a paper check or a <span id="lw_1239422236_31" class="yshortcuts" style="border-bottom: medium none; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; cursor: pointer;">direct deposit</span>.</li>
<li><strong>Separate Accounts</strong> You may use Form 8888, Direct Deposit of Refund to More Than One Account, to request that your refund be allocated by direct deposit among up to three separate accounts, such as checking or savings or retirement accounts.</li>
<li><strong>Paper Return Processing Time</strong> If you file a complete and accurate paper tax return, your refund will usually be issued within six weeks from the received date.</li>
<li><strong>Returns Filed Electronically</strong> If you filed electronically, your refund will normally be issued within three weeks after the acknowledgment date.</li>
<li><strong>Check the Status Online</strong> The fastest and easiest way to find out about your current year refund is to go to the <a id="SAWARN1d65e55" name="SAWARN1d65e55" href="http://irs.gov/" target="_blank"><span id="lw_1239422236_32" class="yshortcuts">IRS.gov</span></a> Web site and click on the “Where’s My Refund?” link available from the home page. You will need your Social Security number, filing status and the exact whole dollar amount of your refund to check the status online.</li>
<li><strong>Check the Status By Phone</strong> Call the <span id="lw_1239422236_33" class="yshortcuts" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed #0066cc; cursor: pointer;">IRS Refund</span> Hotline at 800-829–1954. When you call, you will need to provide your Social Security number, your filing status, and the exact whole dollar amount of the refund shown on your return.</li>
<li><strong>Delayed Refund</strong> There are several reasons for delayed refunds. For things that may delay the processing of your return, refer to Tax Topic 303 on IRS.gov, which includes a Checklist of Common Errors When Preparing Your Tax Return.</li>
<li><strong>Larger than Expected Refund</strong> If you receive a refund to which you are not entitled, or one for an amount that is more than you expected, do not cash the check until you receive a notice explaining the difference. Follow the instructions on the notice.</li>
<li><strong>Smaller than Expected Refund</strong> If you receive a refund for a smaller amount than you expected, you may cash the check, and, if it is determined that you should have received more, you will later receive a check for the difference. If you did not receive a notice and you have questions about the amount of your refund, wait two weeks after receiving the refund, then call 800–829–1040.</li>
<li><strong>Missing Refund</strong> The IRS will assist you in obtaining a replacement check for a refund check that is verified as lost or stolen. If the IRS was unable to deliver your refund because you moved, you can change your address online. Once your address has been changed, the IRS can reissue the undelivered check. For more information, visit IRS.gov or call <span id="lw_1239422236_34" class="yshortcuts" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed #0066cc; cursor: pointer;">800-829-1040</span>.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the <span id="lw_1239191675_28" class="yshortcuts">tax filing deadline</span> close at hand, the IRS offers ten tips for those still working on their tax returns:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong><span id="lw_1239191675_29" class="yshortcuts" style="border-bottom: medium none; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; cursor: pointer;">File</span> Electronically</strong> &#8211; Consider filing electronically instead of using <span id="lw_1239191675_30" class="yshortcuts" style="border-bottom: medium none; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; cursor: pointer;">paper tax forms</span>. If you file electronically and choose direct deposit, you can receive your refund in as few as 10 days.</li>
<li><strong>Check the Identification Numbers</strong> &#8211; When filing a paper return carefully check the identification numbers — usually <span id="lw_1239191675_31" class="yshortcuts" style="border-bottom: medium none; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; cursor: pointer;">Social Security numbers</span> — for each person listed. This includes you, your spouse, dependents and persons listed in relation to claims for the <span id="lw_1239191675_32" class="yshortcuts" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed #0066cc; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; cursor: pointer;">Child and Dependent Care Credit</span> or Earned Income Tax Credit. Missing, incorrect or illegible Social Security Numbers can delay or reduce a <span id="lw_1239191675_33" class="yshortcuts" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed #0066cc; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; cursor: pointer;">tax refund</span>.</li>
<li><strong>Double-Check Your Figures</strong> &#8211; If you are filing a paper return, you should double-check that you have correctly figured the refund or balance due.</li>
<li><strong>Check the Tax Tables</strong> &#8211; If you are filing using the <span id="lw_1239191675_34" class="yshortcuts" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed #0066cc; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; cursor: pointer;">Free File Fillable Forms</span> or a paper return you should double-check that you have used the right figure from the tax table.</li>
<li><strong>Sign your form</strong> &#8211; Taxpayers must sign and date their returns. Both spouses must sign a joint return, even if only one had income. Anyone paid to prepare a return must also sign it.</li>
<li><strong>Mailing Your Return</strong> &#8211; Use the coded envelope included with your tax package to mail your return. If you did not receive an envelope, check the section called &#8220;Where Do You File?&#8221; in the tax instruction booklet.</li>
<li><strong>Mailing a Payment</strong> &#8211; People sending a payment should make the check out to “United States Treasury” and should enclose it with, but not attach it to the tax return or the Form 1040-V, Payment Voucher, if used. The check should include the taxpayer’s <span id="lw_1239191675_35" class="yshortcuts" style="border-bottom: medium none; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; cursor: pointer;">Social Security number</span>, daytime phone number, the tax year and the type of form filed.</li>
<li><strong>Electronic Payments</strong> &#8211; Electronic payment options are convenient, safe and secure methods for paying taxes. You can authorize an electronic funds withdrawal, or use a credit card or a debit card. For more information on electronic payment options, visit <a id="SAWARN1cgi194" name="SAWARN1cgi194" href="http://irs.gov/" target="_blank"><span id="lw_1239191675_36" class="yshortcuts">IRS.gov</span></a>.</li>
<li><strong>Extension to File</strong> &#8211; By the April due date, taxpayers should either file a return or request an extension of time to file. Remember, the extension of time to file is not an extension of time to pay.</li>
<li><strong>IRS.gov</strong> &#8211; Forms and publications and helpful information on a variety of tax subjects are available around the clock on the IRS Web site at IRS.gov.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you’ve never filed your tax return electronically, you should definitely consider trying it in 2009. Join the millions of taxpayers who are saving time and money to file their tax returns without the many headaches often associated with filing a paper return.</p>
<p>Here are the top eight reasons close to 90 million people filed their tax returns electronically in 2008:</p>
<p><strong>1. It’s easy.</strong> You can usually file a state tax return at the same time you electronically file your federal tax return.</p>
<p><strong>2. It’s accurate.</strong> No more human errors because <em>e-file</em> checks for math errors and necessary information. This not only increases the accuracy of your return, but it also reduces the need for correspondence with the IRS to clarify errors or omissions.</p>
<p><strong>3. No more second-guessing yourself.</strong> When you file electronically, the computer software or online program guides you through the process step-by-step.</p>
<p><strong>4. You’ll get your refund faster.</strong> When you use e-file, you can get your refund in as little as ten days.</p>
<p><strong>5. There are more payment options.</strong> With <em>e-file</em>, you can file your return early, but wait to pay any balance due by the April deadline. You can also pay electronically using a credit card, electronic funds withdrawal or in some cases the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System.</p>
<p><strong>6. It’s fast.</strong> You don’t have to make a trip to the post office. In fact, you won’t even need to walk to the mailbox to send your return. Just click Send.</p>
<p><strong>7. You’ll know the IRS received your return.</strong> The IRS will send you an electronic notification acknowledging receipt of your return.</p>
<p><strong>8. You’ll have peace of mind.</strong> After clicking send and receiving your notification from the IRS that they received your return…kick back and relax – you’re done!</p>
