I have my W2 from my regular job, and I also started a business in which I had a major loss of expense.
I was filing my tax, on my w2 I had 0 federal income tax taken out. Since I have a dependent I got a good amount of refund but when I added my business information and my expenses on the schedule c form it brought my refund amount down from 6000$ to 1000$.
My expenses in my business was 3000$ and I only made 200$ in profit. what am I doing wrong, because I am trying to get back the money I lost from this business?
Thanks again in advance for your help.

I have two part time jobs and a small pension. I earn £10,000 per annum with each job and £3,500 per annum from my pension. Until March 2010 both jobs had the tax code 647L. Now one has the code 647L and the other has the code BR, as does my pension. which means I am paying 60% tax on a total income of £24,000 per annum. is this right? If so when did the change happen? and what can I do about it?

I purchased a light duty truck in Sept. of 2010 for my business. What method of depreciation do I use? The truck I purchased is not new, it is a used 2003 Isuzu, if this makes any difference as to the life of the depreciation. Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

A full time (college)(high school) student does not make as much as the minimum deduction. Do you enter $.00?
I gambled mostly on scratch-off tickets last year. I have a planner where I recorded my daily win/losses, does not include the establishment where the tickets were purchased. Where applicable, I have credit card and bank statements for backup. I do have a W-2 winning statement that I am entering, am not deducting more losses than income and am itemizing my deduction. Is there anything else I need or am missing? Claiming the losses is going to almost double my normal return so I am concerned about drawing the IRS's attention and want to make sure all my documentation would stand up to an audit.

My dad wrote a book for use in his electrical business (ie he published a book that he sells to the students that take his class). He received a royalty check for publishing it. I included the income in the gross receipts on his 1065 because it was related to his business. The IRS has sent a letter stating that the royalty check wasn't claimed when it was. Was I supposed to claim the amount on the 1040 or somewhere else?
My wife settled some debts with credit card companies for pennies on the dollar. Do we have to report the money difference that was saved as earned income?
