check your old tax returns

Posted By: all that jazz on 2006-03-07
In Reply to: IRS says I owe $$$ for self-employment tax (sm) - need some moral support until I call

to see what your status was checked. If "nonemployee compensation" was checked, then you were an independent contractor and owe the money. If it was not checked, then the IRS is in error.

See last years returns
A lot depends on your status -- are married?   If so, your husband can overwithold and you can pay that way.    If not, look at last year's return and see what your income was, how much you paid and compare that to what you will be making as an IC this year.   See what your tax liability was last year.  You might have more deductions as an IC for your net income on which you will base your SS and tax liability -- all get paid into the same place.   You can divide that by 4, go onto the IRS web page and print out Quarterly coupons and send in that amount if you do not want to have your husband overwithold.   If you don't owe much the penalty is  not that much.  But as I have said before, for the first year or two as an IC I suggest people seek out an accountant to help them get started.  It is hard to give advice without seeing the entire financial picture.  But first place to start is your last years return compare to this year's earnings and go from there.  Again, though if you have a husband working or have a second job as an employee just overwithold from either as it is easier than trying to save and pay quarterlies.   Good luck.  IRS page has a lot of good advice.    Patti
IRS is not processing ANY tax returns sm
until at least Feb 11, when the new software is in place.  You may be talking about and H.R. Block type place that figures you return, for a price, then cuts you a check.  But IRS not sending checks or processing until Feb 11.
I'll bet she meant that's how long the lines are before it returns. nm

Personally I don't charge for tabs and hard returns - sm
but then again it would not make a big difference for me. I just went over my last invoice and re-did it including spaces, tabs and hard returns, my invoice went up a whole $1.70. I will live w/o the extra $3.40 a month. On another point, I try not to put 2 spaces after my last period of each report (mine are just single block paragraphs on each patient) so I don't "pad" the invoice that way either. Now if I did a lot of reports with tabs and returns then I probably would bill for them, as it is a keystroke. As for how to phrase it, I thought you have already put it quite well, but I think asking for a cent raise might be too much, .005 would probably more than compensate you for your "loss" if you don't count the tabs/returns anymore. Run an invoice and see what the $$$ would be with .005 and .01 raises. Good luck.
Our tax returns are outsourced. Our credit history is outsourced. Our employers know everything
our age, our residence, our credit (if they want it), any criminal activity, etc.  What is new here?  You apply for health insurance and your employee knows your health background.  What is new here?  Privacy is long gone.
Check at a local nursery/garden center for varieties that are bred for your area, then check online

had a similar issue with TWC and they had done some upgrades and the modem I had was no longer compatible.  The tech knew what the problem was the minute he saw the modem, only it took me about 3 months and threatening to cancel for them to get out here. 
No brainer here. Stop payment on first check before you issue 2nd check.

I have had a check bounce over a boo-boo in the check book...NOT A DEADBEAT!!

DID you check with Social Security& does your son receive a check???

Go to SSA.gov and research the payee options.  You may have to use the search engine, but your answer to this particular issue should be there.


I am disabled and while my kids were minors, I had to fill out a form each year on how I, as the payee spent each and every penny of the money they received.  I don't see how his mother can justify how she spent his money for things that you normally would pay.


That said, he is getting Social Security right?  Is your son receiving a dependent check?  Under law, if a parent is disabled and has minor children, each and every one of those children also receive a check until they turn 18 or graduate from high school, which ever comes first.


The check is a percentage of your husbands, so for 800.00, your son should receive at least 350.00.  If you have not been getting this, they would pro-rate it back to when your husbands disability started and that in itself, could solve a lot of your financial problems.  You can also find this out on their website,  HTH


no - don't check out wildblue. check out hughesnet. sm
i was on wildblue. i absolutely HATED it. i paid $400 for install and equipment and bill was $51.51 a month for smallest plan. no bills, had to be direct debit from credit card or bank. wasn't a lot faster than dial up and i frequently went over my download limit so i had to upgrade to the $80/mo plan. speed was no faster on their "fastest plan". they had a 1-yr contract and only 1-yr warranty. well 20 days (kid you not) out of warranty my tria (the eye on the dish) went out and it cost me a total of $275 for replacement and tech call (had to wait a week and a half before tech could come and then he no showed and rescheduled for the next day stating he didn't have the equipment he needed to fix me and the repair order had been in for over a week by that time. no call to say he wasn't coming either, just no showed). they TRIED to sell me the entire package all over again to get me locked into another 1-yr contract and i declined. it was best in their book so your warranty and equipment would be "new". i had to tell them for 5 months to change which credit card to debit from, never could get it right. had to tell them for 3 months when my phone number changed. i could not wait until the day my 1-yr contract was over. have heard really good things about hughesnet. i think it is a tad more a month, but supposedly a lot faster than wildblue and not near as many problems from what i have heard from others. wildblue was down for an entire week at one point throughout the year i was on it. always got lost signals and page cannot be found multiple, multiple times throughout the day. i used wildblue with VPN (with transtech) and could not keep a connection enough to get a decent line count as i was dropping signals too much and it did slow it way down. i finally got clinic work rather than acute care where time and speed wasn't a factor. research message boards for complaints about wildblue and hughesnet before deciding. also hughesnet i think told me a 2-yr warranty rather than only the 1-yr with wildblue.

your dictionary or autocorrect and see if it is set to capitalize the first letter in a sentence.


i think it is just that, though, an annoyance. 


Thank you! Will check them out now.

My check was for over $400, but certainly does not
come close to the money I have lost since going on docqscribe.  I think corporate should provide us with the statistics they used to arrive and this amount.  The @#$#@ crooks!
Thanks, I will check that out. You would
think that would be illegal (to pay for one line count and bill for another) so they would be a little more discreet......
Check for DQS
Wonder if the discrepancy in pay on DQS is MQ wide or just certain regional offices cause I havent gotten anything yet and I dread having to contact my TC.  Does anyone know?
Why did you get a check$?
and nobody told us?

MQ DEP check ?

Anyone heard from their MQ office what this check amount was based on and why it wasn't direct deposit like others if you are on direct deposit??


MQ DEP check
reason it wasn't DD, my opinion, is that if we cash it, we are "settling" any past underpayments. It has to do with the lawsuit. I my check yesterday, and I will deposit it probably. By my cashing it, I did not sign or agree to anything and the letter doesn't state anything about dismissing them from any further legal action. I think they sent the checks to make them look good, like they are trying to be honest and forthright about the discrepancies. A little late...
What check?
I have been with MQ for 14 years and I never got this check, is it for everyone?
check
emailed payroll and asked for a detailed printout of how this figure was derived and she said that corporate told her that it would take probably 2-3 weeks (you and I both know it's probably more like 2-3 months). we have a right to know how it was gotten and if I were you I'd do the same so that they know that we're just not a bunch of dummies who just take what they give us without an explanation that will satisfy us.
MQ check
I only glanced at the letter that came with the check but it said something about the DQS counting making mistakes and they were "sorry for any inconvenience this caused."   Not a word about there never being enough WORK to matter whether the counting was right or not.  Prior to DQS in 7 years I NEVER ran out of work.  Didn't hang around long enough to see if their promises were true that we would soon be making so much money that we couldn't spend it all. LOL
check
"legally" any company has the right to withhold payment for 30 days. I found that out by accident, as well. ... through a company also in California. I would suggest, after attempting a telephone conversation first, that you speak with a lawyer and begin litigation. You are owed what you did work for. Good luck to you.

YOU: I am wondering if the hospital gives medications according to what is in the H&P

ANSWER: No, they don't.

YOU: if they operate on the wrong leg if the doctor dictates that.

ANSWER: No. The body part is marked ahead of time with witnesses and there is what is called a "time out" before surgery that is documented on the surgical record to assure the correct part (and patient) is being dealt with.

YOU: How many patients die from dictation and transcription mistakes?

ANSWER: I have never known of any.

YOU: Does the hospital have medication records for nurses that are handwritten?

NO: Computer generated, which lists contraindications, incompatible drugs, etc, and is checked by a pharmacist and the nurse who gives the med. There are some meds that need two RN signatures to be given.

YOU: Do surgeons check other sources before they operate?

ANSWER: See above about marking body parts and "time outs".

As an RN, I can tell you that the transcribed record plays a very small part of in-house patient care. In my opinion, accurate office notes are of more importance than the in-house record that is used mostly for billing and insurance purposes and not patient care.
Thanks -- will have to check her out.

All I want is a check. I don't want SM
anybody messing with me. I guess I could stand a set schedule if I got used to it. But remember, I've done this a good many years and I am faster than an hourly rate can pay. That makes a huge difference for me.
Check it out....

For the strip, consider Mandalay Bay - the rooms are HUGE and GREAT view of the strip.  They run a lot of specials, and the best time to get good room rates in Vegas ANYWHERE is Sunday through Thursday.


If you want downtown, check out the Golden Nugget, and you MUST go to Hugo's Cellar across the street for dinner - it is THEEE best.  Also, Lawry's Prime Rib is GREAT and the Golden Steer (since Frank Sinatra days).


Have Fun!!!


Thanks so much, will check it out!

Check into
I would check into your local internet companies. I do not know what is avaialble in your area, but we have cable internet for work and now for our phone service too. Our cable (just expanded basic), phone (unlimited local and LD), and highspeed cable internet only cost us $100 a month. Previously we were spending $30 on just basic cable, $45 for phone (not including LD), and $50 on internet. With this package deal we were upgraded in our cable, internet speed, and do not have to pay extra for LD. The only drawback is that if our power is out, we cannot call anyone since our phone goes through the internet. BUT, if you have a cell phone than this is not a problem!
Neither one. I would check out

is there a way to check

on the latest updates and changes for MTs as far as style, format, etc.  For example, when I first started working as an MT I was taught to type type II diabetes which has now changed to type 2 diabetes.  Just wondering . . . .  


RE: Is there a way to check?
Yes. Purchase the Book of Style, 2nd Edition.
Thanks a lot! I will check them out
