I can deduct mileage as a landscape foreman. My boss doesnt deduct taxes off of my checks though.

You mean you have nothing withheld?

I get to claim 13XXX miles.

@ 48 cents a mile (the number that HRblock gave me 2 days ago)

Thats pretty good for a deduction within itself... that and the $8K in gas that I spent. get to claim 80% of that.

The reason I'm confused is because when I rea the tips given in Turbo Tax it says something about working at satelite locations inside your metro area. Those miles are deductable? Sometimes tax prepayers will put miles on and sometimes they won't. For my coworkers I mean.

Maybe, he just sends me a statement at the end of the year with the total amount I made, and then my dads taxman takes care of the rest.

Does your dad pay your taxes then?

Turbo Tax is a piece of shit program for anything beyond the simple W-2/basic schA. Well, I should not say that, Turbo Tax is a pretty good program but it's can't handle complex tax situations and does nothing for tax planning.

The miles are deductible as long as you are going from one work location to the next, and you are not reimbursed mileage from the company you work for. If you are traveling from home, it's just considered commuting to your job, and you are not supposed to claim that mileage. If your coworkers are going to places like H&R Block, then yeah, they will get conflicting results. Keep in mind H&R block basically hires people off the street and puts them through a training course, then lets them have at people's personal returns.



As far as black z is concerned, the reason there is nothing withheld is because he is being paid as an independent contractor, not an employee. He gets a 1099 at the end of the year instead of a W-2. Keep in mind there are liability issues connected to that too. If he hurts someone on the job, he's liable, not the person he works for. If the person he works for supplies him with the tools and means to work, then they have to consider him an employee or face the wrath of the IRS. The IRS cracked down on the independent contractor/employee thing a few years ago when it was popular for businesses to try to duck out of medicare/social security payroll liabilities.
