In 2007, I was overpaid by my employer and now they want me to repay the overpayment. Today, I sent them a check for the overpayment. I have paid my 2007 federal and state taxes on the overpayment amount. How do I claim those taxes that I have paid when I file my 2008 taxes soon? Where can I indicate such a deduction on a federal 1040 tax form? Please be detailed in your answer. Thanks.

My brother died in May 2007. He left behind a 2 year old daughter who lives with my parents who have guardianship of her.
Do they:
1. File their taxes as usual and claim my niece on their taxes as a dependent? or
2. File taxes on behalf of my brother and claim her on his taxes? or
3. Do they even need to file taxes on his behalf?
We’ve tried looking online on the IRS website and can’t find anything pertaining to this situation.
Any suggestions?

I am completing a 3 month internship in Idaho, but will return to California upon completion. What is the best way to file taxes? Idaho’s state taxes are actually higher than Cali, so I would like to avoid them. Someone else mentioned they are just having their taxes withheld by their originating state, Is this possible? Of course, I would like to have the least taxes taken out, so if there is anyway I can pay only California taxes on the money I would love to know how?
