How to get stimulus payment? I listed myself as homemaker and didn’t file injured spouse claim. I don’t think it’s fair that me and my kids don’t get anything is there something I could do?
There's not enough information here to determine a course of action. I would suggest hiring a local CPA or Tax Attorney to assist you.
There are only two requirements for anyone to receive the stimulus check: Filing an income tax return for 2018 or 2019 (2019 tax returns can be filed anytime, but--because of the pandemic--they are not due until August of September, 2020); and still be alive and breathing.

For IRS purposes whichever parent provided more than half of the support for the child is the custodial parent and is entitled to claim the child.
To transfer that right to the other parent requires a Form 8332. A verbal promise is not enforceable.

In my opinion, it would be best to pay it, so your account shows that you are all paid up with your state.
It was my last joint return after a divorce filed through a preparer in Indianapolis, IN. The preparer has claimed that for "privacy reasons" she can't give me a copy, though she did give my ex a copy. I did pay half the fees for the prep but paid them directly to my ex. This is... Read more »
If you filed a joint return with your ex husband you are entitled to a copy of the joint return. However, if you intend to give your copy to another tax preparer, then your ex husband will have to consent to the release of HIS confidential information.
He has refused to let me have any of the $750 rapid refund we were approved for. He then took every bit of the remaining funds off of the card. Due to his abusive alcoholism we are not staying together as of 2/13/20.
Did you report any income on the joint return that contributed to the refund? If so, you may be entitled to injured spouse relief.
My husband was involved in a rear end collision that caused damage to his spine. He will soon lose his physically demanding job due to his injury. We need to withdraw from his 401k - would this situation exempt us from paying the 10% penalty for early withdrawal? Thank you!
A tax attorney or officer at your bank should be able to advise you on the tax aspects of such a withdrawal. But the more important question here is why you and your husband are contemplating the withdrawal. If your husband is represented by an attorney in this accident, it's possible that... Read more »

DCS is saying that to foster parents are allowed to clean my kids on their taxes but I don't think that is right but they won't tell me the rules on why they can my kids were only in DCS care for maybe 5 months
If a government agency has placed the children with a family then that qualifies for the relationship test required to claim the child as a dependent.
Assuming the other factors are in line they would be allowed to claim the child.
This is very common in foster situations.

It depends on the corporate structure and jurisdiction. It'll also depend on your other income. You'll most likely have additional reporting requirements personally. You're best off finding a tax expert to advise you on this.

"I was recently informed that I did not legally have to do that since we were not together."
That's not correct.

Yes.
You can try to challenge it but odds are exceedingly low you'll see that money. Once they put the letter in the mail to the last known address they've fulfilled their obligation.
Move.
I have the receipt from the time I started living here. I believe they are messing with the books. My receipt says taxes was off but I'm paying the same price plus 25 dollars more.

If you have a written contract covering your extended stay both you and the hotel are bound by the terms of the written contract. And if the contract was for 30 days the hotel can raise your room rate on day 31 going forward. Why? Because under most state laws hotels can change their room rates at... Read more »

Nothing--unless you are worried that the IRS might follow up with questions about the DBA.
We're using TurboTax. My wife had $800 withheld on $25000 income for six months. The calculator says she should owe $780, around what she withheld, but TurboTax says she owes another $1100! Does Indiana tax her income from the other state she lived in? Thanks in advance for the help!... Read more »
Not sure what kind of "calculator" you are using to figure income taxes due, but before running around in more circles try doing the simple math: If your wife earned $25,000 in 2018 and if her employer only withheld $800, that tax rate calculates out to 3.2%--which should raise your... Read more »
