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 wife and I are buying a new house in MD where the state and county transfer taxes will be about $8000. We are going to close in December this year, but will probably take a standard deduction. Can we deduct the property transfer tax even though we are going to take the standard deduction this year? Are transfer taxes deductions or credits?
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?
