I am 27, engaged, and had our first baby in December. I make about $100,000 plus an additional $20,000 with per diem, and I collect $820 (50% military disability). My fiancée makes about $70,000 a year. We are trying to determine the best way to file taxes: together, separately, or individually. Who should claim the baby? Additionally, I used to file through H&R Block, but I've heard that individual tax professionals might get more money back. Should I file online, through an individual tax person, or continue with a service like H&R Block? Also, I am a contracted employee working in Louisiana but residing in Florida. Can I claim rent and other expenses related to this arrangement? Finally, I recently bought a used 2013 car that was a loaner from Mercedes. Can I claim this as a business expense, and how should I handle medical expenses and mileage deductions?

My husband and I received our federal tax refund in November 2013 after filing before the October 15th deadline. Today, I found a 'sorry we missed you' slip from the US Postal Service in our mailbox, indicating that a certified letter from the IRS awaits us. I am extremely careful and vigilant about our mail, particularly when it comes to bills and other serious matters, and I am certain that we have not received any previous notices from the IRS. After reviewing our 2012 return, I think we may have been overpaid by about $370.00. What could this certified letter be about, and what should we do next?
