Have requirements changed where the IRS is capturing stimulus payments? The taxpayer did not receive the 1st or 2nd stimulus payments and owes taxes. When entering his data into tax software, his stimulus payments are deducted from his balance due.

I'm an international student with an on-campus job. I want someone to review my tax forms before I file them. I'm 20 years old, located in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with no dependents, and I made approximately $1650 this year. I'm a non-resident alien. Is there anyone who can help me review my tax forms?

I sold a house in Oregon for $175,000, which was my first home. I sold it on an installment note, receiving a down payment of $28,000 and monthly payments of $1,058, with additional lump sums. The buyer paid off the note in 2020 with payments totaling $81,000. I have been paying federal taxes on the proceeds each year. This year, I am facing a federal tax of $3,705 and a state tax of $2,461. Why am I being taxed so much on a house I sold, especially when I have already paid taxes on it? Can you explain this?

I'm an independent contractor who used my car for business purposes, specifically for delivering packages for Amazon. I'm filling out the vehicle expenses section using Freetaxusa and I'm confused about what 'Property Taxes Paid' and 'Car Loan Interest Paid' refer to. Additionally, I'm unsure if the down payment on my car loan is included in the deductions. Can you clarify these terms and how they apply to my situation?
