Income tax on stock buyout
By: fidelio | 11-09-2008
My company was recently acquired by another company and all of my shares purchased through the employee stock purchase plan were purchased at fixed price by the acquiring company in cash at merger closing.  I recently received a check of the proceeds and I noticed that the amount was less than what I had contributed.  My company did not withhold federal, state or local income taxes at the time of sale.  My question is what do I need to do to report this income when I file my taxes next year?

Deducting Mortgage if on title but Mortgage in someone else's name
By: Momof2 | 09-09-2008
Hi Tracy, I have a somewhat complicated story which I'll try to keep simple.  I have filed taxes for 2004, 2005 but not yet for 2006.  In 2004 I was entitled to the earned income tax credit but did not take it mostly because I was doing taxes manually and didn't know enough to do it.  I believe I am entitled to a refund.  In 2005 my husband had significant earnings and he has not yet filed for that year.  Now, because I am going to have to file bankruptcy, I must file everything.  Here's the question.  Either one of us (my husband and I) or both of us have been on the title to our home since 2004 (longer than that but that's another very complicated story).  My grandmother was also on title and the mortgage was in her name.  HOWEVER, we made ALL THE PAYMENTS and can back that up with copies of checks.  As our mortgage was sizeable ($36kish) we'd REALLY like to deduct it.  Can we?  We have the relevant forms from the bank documenting the interest paid.  Is it best to just deduct it and include the form with her name and hope for the best or is it better to include an explanatory letter with copies of the checks.  Keep in mind that I will be submitting three years back taxes at once - hopefully with a refund for 04 and 06 and taxes due (for my husband) from 05.  So, can I deduct the mortgage since we paid it even though it was in her name?  My grandmother never deducted it (she passed in 2004 but we didn't refi into our names until 2006).  Should I send it in with the form in her name or should I write an explanatory letter and include evidence? I need to do this very soon as I need to get the refunds before I file for bankruptcy.  Many thanks!
