mid-season renewal

Good news! Big Green extended my employment contract through the entire tax season.

Originally, I was only supposed to work through February 17, but my office leader liked my work so much that I was the only "peak time" employee that took the short coure she wanted to keep.

  1. Great! I have a question for the tax expert...

    My company screwed up my local taxes and only put 1/4 of them on my original W-2. So they sent me another W-2 which is completely blank with the exception of the other 3/4 of my local taxes. How on earth am I supposed to file those?

    Thanks Big Green Steve!

    Confused in Ohio....

  2. Dear Confused:

    I can see where this could be a problem, but it's not as bad as you might think.

    Your tax professional should total up the local taxes paid and enclose both partial W-2s with your completed return. That way, if there is a question, the reasoning behind it will have documentation.

    It's pretty much the same procedure we use at Big Green for clients with multiple W-2s. We total the amounts and place the final figure in our system, with all related W-2s included with the submitted tax form.

    Hope this helps make you situation les "taxing." Get it? Taxing? LOL

  3. Am happy this job is going so well for you there!

    Any advice for someone filing a 1099 for the first time?

  4. Just a little advice :-)

    Keep track of all of your business expenses and file a Schedule C (small business form) with your income tax forms. If you file it as cash received or a hobby rather than as a small business, the tax liability is higher

    It's important to show a profit from your enterprise, but you also don't want to count inadvertently count expenses as part of your income.
