ITIN para pagar impuestos y desgravar sin Seguro Social

ITIN para pagar impuestos y desgravar sin Seguro Social En Estados Unidos, el ITIN es un nã ºmero de identificaciã ³n monetary. Es utilizado por extranjeros que no child elegibles para obtener un Nã ºmero del Seguro Social (SSN, por sus siglas en inglã ©s). ITIN significa Nã ºmero de Identificaciã ³n de Contribuyente Individual, por su nombre en inglã ©s, y se utiliza con dos fines distintos. En groundwork lugar, para pagar impuestos por los ingresos obtenidos en Estados Unidos. Las leyes federales establecen la obligaciã ³n de pagar impuestos paraâ toda persona que recibe ingresos en el paã ­s sin que importe su estatus migratorio.â  En segundo lugar, el ITIN sirve para identificar a cã ³nyuges e hijos dependientes que no tienen SSN para que las personas que agnostic impuestos puedan desgravar por esos familiares. En este artã ­culo se informa sobre los puntos bsicos del ITIN, quiã ©nes pueden solicitar ese nã ºmero, cã ³mo se hace, cã ³mo se renueva y para quã © puede ser utilizado y para quã © no.  ¿Quià ©nes pueden solicitarel ITIN? Pueden solicitar el ITIN personas en distintas situaciones. Por ejemplo, los extranjeros que residen habitualmente fuera de Estados Unidos pero que estn obligados presentar sus planillas de impuestos federales. Por ejemplo, inversionistas o empresarios de otros paã ­ses que tienen dinero invertido o un negocio en EE.UU. Otro grupo que puede solicitar el ITIN es el de extranjeros no residentes en Estados Unidos que pueden solicitar un beneficio monetary al amparo de un tratado internacional. Asimismo, otro grupo que debe solicitar el ITIN es el los estudiantes internacionales que viven en Estados Unidos por un tiempo suficiente para ser considerados como residentes an efectos fiscales. Es muy importante entender que esto no los convierte en residentes an efectos de inmigraciã ³n, es decir, no por eso pueden obtener una tarjeta de residencia permanente. Sin ban, si el IRS considera an un extranjero como residente an efectos de pagar impuestos, pues debe hacerlo. Otro grupo de personas para los que es conveniente tener un ITIN es el conformado por cã ³nyuges eâ hijos dependientes de ciudadanos americanos o residentes permanentes legales que no pueden sacar la tarjeta del seguro social. Un ejemplo de esta situaciã ³n es el caso de esposos u otros dependientes que viven habitualmente fuera de Estados Unidos. Es conveniente que esas personas tengan un ITIN cada uno porque de esta manera los ciudadanos y los residentes permanentesâ pueden desgravar por ellos como dependientes cuando presentan la planilla la planilla de los impuestos. Asimismo, pueden solicitar el ITIN el cã ³nyuge y los hijos dependientes de las personas con una visa fleeting. Un caso muy tã ­pico es el de la visa H-1B para profesionales y modelos que permite a cierto grupo de extranjeros trabajar en EEUU y estar acompaã ±ados en el paã ­s por su familia inmediata, pero estos no pueden trabajar ni obtener un SSN. El camino para obtener posibles beneficios fiscales desgravando por dependientes a la hora de declarar ingresos es identificando con un ITIN a dichos dependientes. El ITIN es muy frecuentemente solicitado por los migrantes indocumentados. La razã ³n es que por ley estn obligados a pagar impuestos por sus ingresos en Estados Unidos, aunque no tienen permiso para trabajar legalmente.â Algunos migrantes sienten miedo porque temen que el ITIN puede ser utilizado por las autoridades migratorias para localizarlos pero esto no es asã ­. Segã ºn la Secciã ³n 6103 del Cã ³digo del IRS, las autoridades fiscales no estn autorizadas a proveer informaciã ³n sobre quiã ©n paga impuestos a ninguna otra agencia del gobierno.â Roughage dos excepciones an esa regla. En groundwork lugar, cuando el Departamento de Tesoro investiga un posible fraude monetary y, en segundo lugar, cuando existe una orden legal para que el IRS revele esos datos porque se est realizando una investigaciã ³n. Finalmente, tambiã ©n pueden solicitar el ITIN personas en estatus migratorio lawful pero que no pueden solicitar, por el momento, un SSN como, por ejemplo, algunas vã ­ctimas de violencia domã ©stica. Informaciã ³n bsica del ITIN El ITIN se creo en 1996 y es un nã ºmero compuesto por nueve dã ­gitos. Siempre comienza por el nã ºmero 9 y en el cuarto lugar aparece el nã ºmero 7 o el 8. En la actualidad, el ITIN tiene una validez de cinco aã ±os. Segã ºn datos del IRS, cada aã ±o financial ms de cuatro millones de personas utilizan el ITIN para presentar su planilla de impuestos, conocida en EE.UU. como assessment forms pagando casi 14 mil millones de dã ³lares. Segã ºn datos del centro de estudios Taxation and Economic Policy, ubicado en Washington D.C. aproximadamente el 50 por ciento de los indocumentados en EE.UU. paga assessment forms utilizando un ITIN.  ¿Cà ³mo se solicita el ITIN por primera vez? El ITIN se puede solicitarâ por correo enviando la solicitud utilizando la planilla W7. Adems, debe incluirse la planilla de impuestos yâ documentos originales o certificados por la autoridad que los emite yâ que prueben su identidad y su condiciã ³n de extranjero. Si se envã ­an documentos originales, estos sern devueltos en 60 dã ­as desde que se recibiã ³ la solicitud. La direcciã ³n a la que enviar la solicitudâ desde EE.UU. o desde otro paã ­s e: Inner Revenue ServiceAustin Service CenterITIN OperationP.O. Box 149342Austin, TX 78714-9342 Pero una forma ms fcil y conveniente de solicitar el ITIN cerrando una cita conâ un agente autorizadoâ algunos de los cuales estn ubicados fuera de los Estados Unidos (Acceptance Agent) o visitando un Centro de Asistencia al Contribuyente (TACs, por sus siglas en inglã ©s), donde una persona especializada podr ayudarâ en este proceso yâ verificar la autenticidad de los documentos.â Si necesita ayuda especã ­fica para su caso para solicitar el ITIN, adems de poder acudir a los TACs se puede marcar al 1-800-829-1040. Documentos admisibles para acompaã ±ar la solicitud del ITIN Para solicitar el ITIN debe probarse la identidad del solicitante y su carcter de extranjero. Se admiten 13 documentos entre los que se encuentran: pasaporte, cã ©dula de identificaciã ³n, licencia de manejar de EEUU o del paã ­s de origen, partida oficial de nacimiento para menores de 18 aã ±os, ID card de un estado estadounidense, visa, tarjeta militar Yankee folklore o extranjera o la tarjeta de votante extranjero. Para que cualquiera de estos documentos ocean admisible es necesarioâ presentar el unique o copia certificada por la entidad que los emite. Otra opciã ³n es verificarlos en un TACs o con un Acceptance Agent. Adems, no pueden estar expiradosâ y que en ellos debe aparecerâ claramente el nombre del solicitante,â una foto del mismo y deben servir como prueba de su carcter de extranjero. Cunto tiempo se demoraen procesarse el ITIN En general, se recibir el nã ºmero de identificaciã ³n monetary dentro de las seis semanas siguientes a haber formulado la peticiã ³n, siempre y cuando la aplicaciã ³n estã © completa y no falte ningã ºn documento. Si no se recibe contestaciã ³n en ese plazo de tiempo se puede llamar gratuitamente al telã ©fono seã ±alado anteriormente para averiguar sobre el estado del trmite. Expiraciã ³n del ITIN y su renovaciã ³n En la actualidad, tasks los ITIN child vlidos solamente por cinco aã ±os. Se renuevan de la misma forma que se solicitan por primera vez. La à ºnica diferencia es que al renovar no feed que presentar un government form. Adems, cabe destacar que si el ITIN pierde validez automticamente si no se utiliza por tres aã ±os consecutivos.â Si se presenta un expense forms con el ITIN caducado, la declaraciã ³n de impuestos se va a tramitar pero no se tendrn en cuenta exenciones o crã ©ditos solicitados ni tampoco se devolver dinero al contribuyente al que le corresponderã ­a mientras no se presente un ITIN vlido.â  ¿Para quã © puede utilizarse el ITIN y para quã © no? A pesar de ser un nã ºmeroâ emitido oficialmente por una agencia del Departamento del Tesoro de los Estados Unidos, el ITIN no puede utilizarse como identificaciã ³n ni, en ningã ºn caso, como un sustituto del nã ºmero social.â â Nunca jams el ITIN prueba de que se est autorizado para trabajar. No es uno de los documentos admitidos en la planilla I-9â que se completan al comenzar a trabajar en una empresa. Adems, si la compa㠱ã ­a utiliza el sistema e-check, serã ­a evidente que no se tiene permiso para trabajar. El pago de impuestos con un ITIN no da derecho a solicitar el crã ©dito financial que se conoce como Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC, por sus siglas en inglã ©s), y que es el ms solicitado por las familias trabajadores de bajos ingresos. Tampoco se puede obtener beneficios del sistema del seguro social ni de Medicare, a pesar de haber contribuido con los impuestos an esos fondos. El ITIN se utiliza para pagar impuestos, porque es una obligaciã ³n que establece la ley. Tambiã ©n se usa porque brinda algunos beneficios. Por ejemplo, las personas que agnostic impuestos con un ITIN pueden solicitar un Child Tax Credit por sus hijos dependientes, con un mximo de $2.000 por menor. Sin ban en la actualidad se requiere que dichos dependientes tengan un nã ºmero del seguro social propio. Adems, cuando un migrante cambia de estatus migratorio, el pago de impuestos con ITIN podrã ­a servir para probar aã ±os de residencia en el paã ­s. Asimismo, podrã ­a dar derecho a contabilizar los pagos ya hechos a Medicare y al sistema del seguro social una vez que ya tiene un nã ºmero social. Este punto, debido

My Life-Changing Decision

MY LIFE CHANGING DECISION ROSS BROWN ENGL 1301-270 SUSAN ROBBINS 4/2/2013 It was the start of spring around two years back a wet and bleak day. I was thirty two years of age, unstable on meth and destitute. Gone to jail for the third time, I was confronted with an extraordinary choice, â€Å"do I turn myself in† or â€Å"do I continue running and take my chances†. It was a choice that would influence the ones I love the most, my kids. As I sat in the forested areas behind an overview, tranquilize pervaded inn, I shut my eyes and everything I could see were the tears in my children eyes each opportunity they came to see me in prison.The ones that relied upon me for adoration and security, were presently dismal and terrified of me. They were as lost as I seemed to be. Considerations started to go through my mind, â€Å"have I bombed my youngsters as a father†, â€Å"do I need them to go down a similar way I went down† or â€Å"do I need to give them a futur e and a dad to be pleased of†. Carrying on with the way of life I lived for a long time, showed me not to confide in individuals. Particularly authority figures. So the idea of turning myself in didn’t sound like a smart thought to me at that point. It left me bewildered and scared.I could continue running, yet the previous ten years had been only a continoues cycle that consistently landed me back in jail and left my kids without a dad. I’ve consistently been known for taking risks. Turning myself in would require taking the greatest risk of my life, believing a power figure and the framework that I thought had just bombed me. My Pastor had consistently let me know â€Å"recovery needs to begin some place son†. At that point, in light of my youngsters, I had settled on my choice. I was going to turn myself in.As I opened my eyes, tears spilling down my face, the day appeared to abandon wet and bleak, to quiet and clear. I got my telephone and decided. I w as to hand myself over to the specialists inside about fourteen days. On April 20,2011 I strolled into the Federal Halfway House. I was worn out, truly and intellectually. I didn't have the foggiest idea what's in store or what was anticipated from me. They gave me three suppers every day and a hard tangle to rest on. They gave transportation and the chance to get steady, on the off chance that you needed it. I needed it terrible! It would require a great deal of exertion and assurance to endure the framework successfully.Not numerous ex criminals make it. They took a gander at me as another measurement when I previously showed up. You just have a specific measure of time to find a new line of work and start your recuperation. I battled, no one needed to enlist a recouping ex con. I was beginning to think I was not going to make it. I was toward the finish of the dead line, they were needing feel free to send me back to jail. On the absolute a day ago the telephone rang, it was Bill Orr with Gym Bleacher Boards. He requested that I come in immediately for a meeting. I needed to land authorization from the position facilitator with the goal for that to happen.He was not having any desire to give me this last possibility at finding a new line of work. At that point all of a sudden my case manager, Ms. Woodson, appeared and said â€Å" simply give him this one final possibility before you send him back†. At the point when I showed up at Gym Bleacher Boards, I was anxious and had blended feelings about everything. As I stayed there looking out for my meeting with Bill, I said a little petition to myself, â€Å" Lord, it would be ideal if you let me land this position, not for me, yet for my children†. Bill came out of his office and called me in and I cleared the air regarding everything.By the time the meeting was finished, we were talking as though we had known each other for a considerable length of time. At that point he investigated at me and st ated, â€Å" Ross, everyone merits another opportunity at life, you are hired†. Inside two months I had the option to get my own place and out of the Federal Halfway House. Presently, after two years I recovered my family, a great job, and a lot of multi month old twin little girls. As I think back on the day I settled on my choice, I understand I took a risk that transformed me. Presently, I am ready to give my youngsters a future and a dad to be pleased with.

High Fidelity and Music Essay - 1648 Words

High Fidelity and Music In High Fidelity, Rob, the protagonist and narrator, says â€Å"I find myself worrying away at that stuff about pop music again, whether I like it because I’m unhappy, or whether I’m unhappy because I like it† (168). It is obvious to the reader that Rob has a very strong relationship to pop music but also that this relationship is not as simple as the either-or dichotomy he describes it as. At first, it is an obsession that is almost pathological; by the end, it is an aid to his relationships and his idea of who he is. Rob’s relationship to music helps us understand Rob as a character through the different ways he uses it to interact in his environment – either as a crutch inhibiting his growth or as a way to aid†¦show more content†¦It is as if he is saying â€Å"here, this is me; this is who I am† so if the woman likes the tape, that means she likes him, which would mean she is condoning who he is, which in turn would cause him to weave the music that got this approval even more closely into his sense of self. Thus Rob is defined by music and women he dates rather than through his own eyes. One gets a better idea of this when Rob and Laura are arguing and Laura says she doesn’t like music as much as she used to. Rob says, â€Å"But you see... That’s all there is of me. There isn’t anything else. If you’ve lost interest in that, you’ve lost interest in everything. What’s the point of us?† (265). Here Rob is basically admitting that he is using Laura to condone a definition of himself that has been created by, that entirely consists of, music. If she can’t do that anymore, there is no point of the relationship. Another example of this is when Rob wants to sleep with Marie. The pathological aspect of this is that part of the reason he is attracted to her is that he has always wanted to sleep with a musician. This would be like circumventing the process of defining himself with music and then getting a woman to condone this definition and just getting a definition and an approval from the same source. The reader can see how Rob mingles music with Marie’s personality when he says, â€Å"She describes the set-up and her knock-back with wisdom and honesty and a dry,Show MoreRelatedEssay on Nick Hornbys High Fidelity970 Words   |  4 PagesNick Hornbys High Fidelity In Nick Hornbys High Fidelity, the main character, Rob, relates music to every aspect of his life.

Moral And Ethical Issues In Frankenstein Essay - 1492 Words

The guiding question of all science fiction can be summed up by this sentence: â€Å"‘If this goes on, where will it lead?’†(Sawyer) By asking this basic, yet perplexing question, writers extrapolate on a known scientific principle to its most extreme case, and thereby create a catalyst for the events of the stories they write. Inside this story, the innate natures and behaviors of human beings are revealed through the characters’ reaction to the new threat that an advance in technology or scientific knowledge presents. The moral and ethical dilemmas created in these hypothetical futures allows the reader to better understand and examine the enigmatic state of the human condition. An example of this type of literature is the novel Frankenstein.†¦show more content†¦A company willingly uses time travel as a business venture, wholly knowing that the most minute change in the past could irreparably alter the present, and goes back to the cretaceous pe riod to hunt a tyrannosaurus rex. While there, a traveler accidentally takes a misstep and crushes a butterfly. When the travelers return to the future, the language being used in the country has changed and the outcome of an election has been altered by the traveller’s misstep. Science Fiction has the capability to serve as a cautionary tale about future technological advancements by exploring the ethical responsibilities of scientific advancement, and demonstrating the negative capacity of the pursuit of knowledge, revealing human societies’ arrogance towards the limits of their capabilities. With greater knowledge about the properties and functions of the world, the ethical responsibilities of scientists in their application of this knowledge are paramount to preserving the well-being of human civilization as well as the sanity of their scientists. When disregarded, the repercussions can be numerous and grim. Victor’s monster’s destructive and murderous actions are an example of the consequences of unethical scientific advancement. Victor uses his knowledge of animation to hastily create a being who craved sympathy and love, similar to a human being, but formed him as to create abhorrence in any who looked upon him.

They are Connectors. † (41) Two significant men in the novel are Bernard Goetz, and Roger Horchow. Horchow is described as a Connector, whereas Goetz would be considered a salesman. A Successful business man in the area of Dallas, Roger Horchow is a prime example of a connector. Horchow has backed popular Broadway plays such as Les Miserables and Phantom of the Opera. Horchow had scored a 98 on a list of randomly selected names from a Manhattan phonebook, the average score was not that high. What makes him know so many people? He told Gladwell, that he was not using his range of people as a business strategy, and he did not consider it a collection (43) but for him to know. Horchow has the memory to remember the little boys he played with when he young. Remembering every name, and address of the person. (44) When in the business world you meet many different people. If you are a true business man and this person you have met would help you succeed, one would remember them. I know many connectors that are in my life, but when writing this one comes into mind. Phil Marcario, or as me and my friends had come to know him, Uncle Phil. He owns a restaurant that is known by many. Uncle Phil moves around a lot, from Cutchogue, to Wading River, to Rocky Point, and now to Jamesport, and Florida. Holidays and occasions as he talks about the people he knows, I constantly ask him â€Å"How do you know so many people†. He simply answers, â€Å"People owe me a lot of favors. That could be the Italian in him speaking, but after reading the Tipping Point, I often wonder if he is a connector and has started epidemics. â€Å"Perhaps it is best to call the Connector impulse simply that- an impulse, just one of the many personality traits that distinguish one human being from another. † (46) December, 22 1984, something unthinkable happened on a subwa y in New York City. Bernard Goetz shot four young boys who were attempting to mug Goetz. (134) Some would say he was asking to be mugged by sitting next to the boys when the car was completely empty. But was he demonstrating something to the other subway goers? This man was considered a hero by many. He had shown people that there is a way to stop being mugged, although it was violent and illegal. Illegal and ungodly, sure, but the city’s crime rate reached â€Å"epidemic proportions. † (135) Murders had now seem to drop by two thirds of what they had been. A salesmen is someone who persuades and convinces other people to buy, or believe something. How is Goetz a salesmen? He sold the idea that there is a way of lower the crime in New York City. This shooting open doors for subways. The Graffiti was symbolic of the collapse of the system. † (142) Soon enough the subway companies brought in David Gunn to help with this problem. Every night the cars would be painted over covering the fresh graffiti that youths had done. No car that was dirty would be used on the tracks. A salesman makes emotional sense of an idea or an object. (200) A salesman convinces the unco nvinced, and teaches the uneducated. Goetz taught New York City officials about the crime in a violent matter, but both my mother and Goetz taught a person, or a while city by doing. Connecters, Mavens, and Salesman fall into one of the three laws that were described in the book The law of the Few. This law says that those three categories of people are the ones responsible for spreading epidemics. So if one were ever thinking of spreading a word-of-mouth epidemic, you would want them to be your prime resource. (256) Roger Horchow and Bernard Goetz two men who had spread or had the ability to spread epidemics make you think that there are many people close to you that can too spread social and public epidemics.
