Hello, My name is Diane and I live in Michigan. I had been working full time and I also had a face painting business that I would do on weekends.
My position was eliminated in March of 2010. I filed for unemployment and continued face painting. I am now concerned about whether I will be asked to repay the unemployment?
It is a sole proprietorship so I include everything on my joint return with my husband.
I am filing my income tax this week. I only got uneployment for the year but they were takeing taxs out my son is in college and he live with me. Can I take any kind of credit this year?

If my father is unemployed, can I add my unemployed father as my dependent?
If your father is unemployed and you provide over half the cost of living for him, you may very well be able to claim your unemployed father as your dependent on your income tax return.
Please see the IRS Publication 17 for the additional requirements involved with being able to claim your parent as a dependent on your income tax return.
If my spouse was unemployed (no income), do I still file a joint return or do I file and claim my spouse as a dependent?
I received unemployment benefits from California while living in Mississippi and now I find I'm being taxed in Mississippi. If I didn't make any money in Mississippi why do I owe Mississippi State tax?

Do I have to pay income tax on unemployment? I worked until Sept. 1,2010 and the rest of the year I drew unemployment. I was thinking that we did not have to pay income tax on unemployment. Evedently I am mistaking reading other questions about unemployment, I see that other people have paid taxes on unemployment.
I was recently laid off from my job. I am entitled to severance pay for one year. I was told by my former employer to file for unemployment benefits immediately.
My question is am I entitled to collect unemployment while collecting severance pay, or should I wait until the severance pay runs out.

Hello,
I recieved about 11,000 this year in working income. I was laid of in May, I also recieved 11,010 in unemployment. I didnt let them take out any taxes. My question is, I plan to file single head of household with 2 dependents, Age 3 and 9. How much do I owe unemployment and will I get any taxes back from my working income?

I received unemployment all year in 2011. If I claim 3 dependents, one being a child and did not pay any taxes on the unemployment, can I possibly still receive a refund? Thanks. Melissa Roach

Hi there, I live in Texas and received unemployment in 2010. I had the standard 10% withheld but when entering into my taxes this year, the amount I owe increases several thousand dollars more. Is the 10% not enough to cover that income? Why do I owe so much more on the unemployment income that the 10% withheld? Thank you.
