I am a first-year tax preparer who mistakenly did not estimate self-employment taxes for my clients. Three years later, an IRS agent is accusing me of doing this on purpose and threatening indictment. Can I go to jail for this mistake? Additionally, I haven't received my income tax refund since 2002 and haven't filed for 2005. Will I be punished?

I have not signed our joint 2011 federal and state income tax, as I want to use my half of the return to pay for my divorce attorney. We are expecting over $50,000 in return. My husband has his own business. We live in Maryland. I have been told that I do not automatically get half. Is that true?

I am inheriting $20,007,000.00 from a bank in England. What would be the tax on this money since I am next of kin? If I want to donate money to a charity, how much would I have to give instead of giving it to Uncle Sam to avoid paying him to help a needy cause? How fast do I have to do it so Sam isn't knocking at my door because I signed a 105 Fincen form?

I work on a cruise ship for the past 7 years. I was informed that since we work in international waters all the time, we have a $25,000 tax exemption yearly. Is that correct? Do we have to pay all the types of taxes a person in the USA land does?
