Manchodu:

Yes, Let us say you have incurred 2,000 in medical expenses. you can claim only $800 under itemized expenses. Unless your spouse go through pregnancy process or you have major surgery you expense won't be that much. If your medical expenses are more, abviously you itemization may help you. But, remember soon you will get hit with Alternative Minimum Tax.

Incorder to claim medical expenses they need to be more than 2% of your annual income.


ante 60k salary vatte $1200 kinde lekka kadaa. most health plans are designed to spend atleast that amount as max out of poket expense..

I don't think any ones legitimate itemized expenses will be more than $5,000 unless have a house.
about students ayithe correct ye, in case of working then its a BS. if you consider a family, max out of pocket expence for annual medical can run upto $3000( as per many health plans) hence that could be easily incurred/claimed. dental ayithe pannu neppi ante $1500 bill kooda icheti ghanatha vunna desam idi... so every case depends... nindaa muniginodiki chali takkuva..

IRS hefty penalties antha scene vundadu, if they raise a question, if you cannot support it, just pay 2%-5% penalty on the tax. anthe.

best option is to go thru a CPA and it will be much easier. have been doing itemised since 98'returns. once you go thru a CPA most of it will be taken good care off..

ML mama, as all others explained it is possible to get 8k returns, based on percentage of tax one chooses to withhold every month with the employer..

Avinash:
I know by experience. But IRS site gives you infomation under Itemized deductions.

If you are moving from one place to other place. Safest thing is you can claim moving expenses. Good thing is you can do with Standard deductions. If you are staying in one place for more than a year you can't claim even the secondary residence expenses.

Eeidlagolayenti and Tester:

You are absolutely correct for the Masters Tution fee thing.

Other thing is when you are working as a consultant at clients place then you claim all the expenses if your Employer does not pay for it

Eeidlagolayenti is correct.
I don't think any ones legitimate itemized expenses will be more than $5,000 unless have a house. Go for standard deductions. I know lot of people now a days doing itemized deduction claiming false expenses. If IRS catahes they would be fined hefty penalties and interest. It usally happends three years after you file your initial returns.
Two M.S fellow claimed entired Income as exempt. Showing tutioin as expenses. One got $12,000 back and the other was fined with interest. So dorakithe Donga.

Itemized deductions is useful only if you can show non taxable expenses of more than standard deductions(5600$). if i am right, even if you buy a laptop and went to india and assuming your company supports your business trip to india, i would not believe your expenses would be more than 6000. not worth doing itemized deductions for single who is working at one company Citizen or not.

>> if you are not a permanent resident or a citizen, you can claim your rental, phone bill etc. in itemized deductions

ITEMIZED DEDUCTIONS play a important role. If you are working as a consultant you can claim your expenses as itemized deductions.

Even trip to India if you have ur company in India can be claimed as Itemized deduction

Even Laptop purchased can be claimed as Itemized deduction

So finally you get 30% of what ever you claimed as Itemized deductions



All of my friends get atleast 3k or 4k min

ML sOdarA,

He makes 80k I guess. Doesn't own a house yet? Neither does his wife work? I felt it was un real when he gave me his tax return figures.

Holy Molly...Canada is worse both in taking and giving.


as some others mentioned alread in the thread, if the number of withholdings were given is less than the actual number of dependents claimed on the txt returns, obviously he gets some returns. if he itemizes his deductions (per some tax accountants, if you are not a permanent resident or a citizen, you can claim your rental, phone bill etc. in itemized deductions) and shows that his taxable income is less than that is shown on the W2 (after subtracting the amount shown in itemized deductions) and the tax owed for that amount (from the tax table) is way less than the tax with held, obviously he will get more amount back.

Probably he is giving tax free loan to IRS. If he can get this much amount he can submit W7 and make tax payments accordingly so that he can get around 600 more every month

depends on how much you earn and how much you claim in deductions. if you own a house and if your combined taxable income is around 90K (after deductions) and if the amount of tax deducted per paycheck is more, then defenitely you can get 8K in teturns

I just talked with one of my friends in US after a long while who told me that he got a $8k Tax returns this year. His is a family of 3 including himself his wife and a daughter.

Can someone for real get this amount of money as Tax returns? I just cannot believe it.
