Mr Lee Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Does anyone know if you have to send a copy of your taxes to IRS when you e-file ??? If you efile, then they get an electronic copy and no hard copy would be needed since that is the purpose of e-filing. Good to see you on my friend. :thumbs-up-smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art2ro Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 (edited) Isn't tax e-filing great! I did mine in 45 minutes from start to finish a few weeks ago using "Turbo Tax" on-line, the simple 1040 form since we didn't have anything to itemize, but we still ended up owing Federal $662 due to my tax bracket going up from my 3rd pension I started collecting last year! And we owe nothing to State tax, because we were in the Philippines the whole year of 2009. IRS will debit what we owe from our U.S. bank account automatically! :thumbs-up-smile: :th_thbarbaque: Edited February 22, 2010 by Art & Jho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I knew that but today when I was doing my taxes on turbo tax they asked me to upgrade from the free version to something or I would have to file a hard copy to the IRS? It just confused me and I thought all they were doing is scaring me into paying more so I thought I would ask just to make sure? thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Artdo you get any advantages for living in a foreign country on your taxes?? also they want to know if I had more than 10,000 in a bank account last year here in the phils? Is it best to tell them or forget about it? i built a home here last year and sometimes there was more than that in there and if so are they going to tax me on my own money that i allready paid tax on or what?? thanks for the help !

You are always welcome to come over to our condo and use my US phone if you do not have one. I am going to try to get my friend to ship me some more magic jacks but I hear they can be bought here now and I think they are great to have, so maybe be on the lookout for some on the on-line ad sites, that is if you do not already have one or something better. Hope to hook up with you and your wife this trip, we should be here until sometime in May if you have some time for us, and the forum is having a get together March 12 if you would like to meet some of the other people on here. :36_6_3[1]: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
