I worked many different places and want to make sure I have all my correct tax information for 2005 and 2006. If I forget a certain employer I don’t want them to kick it back to me. I’d rather have all the correct information before I file. Also can I file for 2007′s taxes with the information I have now, and then file 2006 and 2005′s later when I have all the information for those years?

I am married but separated (not legally). There is part of me that wants to file married filing separate but when I do that, I lose the child tax credit. The thing is – that my husband is not my son’s father & has no rights to him. Is there a way to get around this so that I can keep my tax credit? Is it smarter to just file jointly since I only moved out 1 month ago? Please advise, thanks.

I believe that Florida is a heaven for the rich and more difficult for the middle and low income population. Add up your sales taxes for the year and you would be suprised of how much of a low income family income goes for that tax. It is nothing for the wealthy. Doing away with the sale tax and imposing an income tax would hit the huge incomes of the wealthy much more then the poor. Lets get rid of the sales tax and get the income tax.
