Is the US government breaking the tax law?
Q. Please someone with experience in taxation can explain to me how this is legal? Lets say I bought a car for $60,000 dollars and I paid 7% ($4,200) dollars tax at the time to register the car (this is not leasing) after two years If I sell the car for $50,000 dollars the new buyer will have to pay $3,500 dollars in taxes. If the second buyer sells the car one more time the third buyer will also have to pay taxes again. Ok since the government is collecting taxes from every sells, why is the first owner of the car is not entitled to get back his taxes since only its been used for the $10,000 worth of the car, is there any law a such? please serious answers only.

A. First off, the US government doesn't levy sales and use taxes, the states do. Ergo, the US government isn't breaking any law what so ever. Second, the tax you are paying is a "Use Tax" for the privilege of using the vehicle for an unspecified period of time. You could keep it for 20 years or 6 months, it's up to you. However the next owner of the vehicle will pay the Use Tax as well, again for however long they choose to keep the vehicle. Many states will give you a break on the tax on a replacement vehicle if you trade one in or if you sell one within a specified period of registering a new car. For example, in MO you get the break if you trade in or sell a vehicle within 90 days of purchasing a new one. So if you bought a new $60k… [cont.]

New tax law says you have to have an appraisal for clothing, etc. donations over $500 in 2007. Where and how?
Q. I started donating alot this year to our Goodwill, and I even have to drive 30 mi to do it. I have $750 in receipts for this year. But the tax law changes require me to have an appraisal for anything over $500 next year. Goodwill doesn't do it. So how in the heck do get an appraisal for donations like that? I live in a rural area also, so I'm not even sure we have someone/thing on our area... where would I even start?

A. The appraisal rule only applies if: taxpayer may claim a deduction of more than $500 for any single item, regardless of its condition, if the taxpayer includes a qualified appraisal of the item with the return. What they are saying is, everything has to be in "good" condition. If it is not "good" condition, then you can only donate one item over $500 if it includes and appraisal. As long as everything you donate is in "good" condition, you don't need an appraisal, no matter how much you donate. But if they audit you, you must prove(with detailed receipt and possibly photo) that they item was in "good" condition.

A tax question for anyone who is in law?
Q. If I am a State citizen how do the laws of Federal Income Tax apply to me. Aren't those laws exclusive to the District of Columbia and to those businesses who sell Tobacco, Firearms and Alcohol only? And as far as the forms sent to me every year telling me to pay based on the monitored earnings attached to my social security number, Internal Revenue Code, Section 6109(d), (I've added the emphasis): "The social security account number issued to an individual for purposes of section 205(c)(2)(A) of the Social Security Act shall, except as otherwise be specified under regulations of the Secretary, be used as the identifying number for such individual for purposes of this title."
