Attorney answers:
My 2005 divorce decree filed in Ohio states that the noncustodial parent can claim one out of five children as a dependant
No, it is not true. As the others have pointed out, for you to claim the deduction, she must sign IRS Form 8332. If she refuses, your only recourse is to go to domestic relations court to get an order that she sign the form or be held in contempt. Good luck Disclaimer: Please note that this answer does not constitute legal advice, and should not be relied on, since each state has different laws, each situation is fact specific, and it is impossible to evaluate a legal problem without a...

Attorney answers:
File tax on Pension?
Is this the only income you receive? Do you receive social security, if not based upon your own account then based upon your deceased husband's account? Do you receive any interest or dividend income? You will get a 1099-R from the pension plan. Only after determining how much income you have will you be able to determine whether you will need to file a federal return. If taxes are withheld from any source of income you receive, you will need to file tax returns to get a refund, if you...

Attorney answers:
Penalties for an employer paying under the table and employee for getting paid under the table
I agree with Mr. Geffen. You need to see a tax attorney who can handle criminal tax matters immediately. DO NOT REPORT THE "TAX EVASION" WITHOUT FIRST SPEAKING TO AN EXPERIENCED TAX ATTORNEY.

Attorney answers:
What are the realistic consequences for forging a signature on a federal tax return
If, as you state, you are "going through" a divorce, I assume this means that you are represented by an attorney in your divorce matter. This should be brought to his or her attention and discussed. It probably will have a bearing on the division of property and perhaps other things. If you don't have a divorce ( or family law) attorney, you should hire one. Further, what did the IRS employee say to you, assuming you told him or her about not seeing or signing the return. Also, have you...

Attorney answers:
How can I stop legal action against myself from the city for non-payment of city income tax?
You should be able to prepare Dayton tax returns and get credit for the taxes withheld and paid to Kettering. You may still owe Dayton some money, if Dayton's tax is higher than Kettering's. You will need your W-2 that shows the Kettering tax withholding. The person at Dayton tax department should be able to help you, if you are cooperative. If s/he won't help, find a tax preparer who won't charge too much. Good luck.

Attorney answers:
My attorney has a tax lien by the IRS against him and it is preventing me from being paid my settlement.
One question I have is who told you your attorney cannot pay you your money? If it is the attorney, that probably means that the insurance company sent him a check, but he did not deposit it into his Trust Account. Attorneys are generally required, at least in Ohio, to deposit any check received into his/her Trust Account that includes money, such as a client's, that does not belong to the attorney. That account should not have the Attorney's tax ID number. Therefore, your money can be paid...

Attorney answers:
If i am forced to move my mobile home off of property am i entitled to relocation fees
Probably not. I assume you were just renting your spot from the mobile home park on a month-to-month basis. Is this correct? If so, any landlord can terminate the rental with proper notice without incurring any liability to the tenant. If you had a long-term lease, or otherwise had some vested interest in the property where you mobile home was located, the answer might be different. So, not enough information to give you a solid answer, but these are some of the factors than need to be...

Attorney answers:
What can I do to get my mothers social security check
First, I would suggest calling social security yourself. You likely won't get much help, but you never know until you try. You just might get a sympathetic ear on the other side to the telephone. Why pay an attorney when you might be able to handle the matter yourself? (Sorry attorneys; but this is my philosophy. I have often advised potential clients to try handling a matter themselves, first. If they aren't successful, they can always call me back.).

Attorney answers:
Can a person receiving SSDI also accept monetary gifts from a trust? Is there any limit to either the value or frequency.
SSDI, unlike SSI, is not a "means-tested" benefit. A "means-tested" benefit means that the government has set a maximum limit on the amount of countable assets one has. Typically, SSI (and Medicaid) has a maximum countable asset limit of $1,500 or $2,000, depending upon the state you live in. If this person receives money directly, e.g., from a trust, an inheritance, a gift, that money, if it causes the person to exceed the allowance, will lose his benefits; until he spends down his assets...

Attorney answers:
Can I buy the house below market value?
I agree with the above two answers. You really need to consult a probate attorney in your county. When you say "her debts far outweigh her assets," are you referring to debts other than the mortgage? Also, you state that her spouse is the only heir. Does he live in Ohio? Who paid for the funeral? Was your sister-in-law owner or joint owner of her residence? These are just a few questions that you need to discuss with an attorney, soon. Good luck.
