I am an independent contractor, and the business I work for wants to pay my health insurance costs. Can she just pay the bill (I would turn in as an expense) or is there some tax she or I have to pay?

I am going to file taxes tomorrow for 2006. I purchased my first home. What do I need to take to the accountant to claim my house?

I am married, in the military and deployed in Iraq. I have two stepchildren and one child with my wife. She is getting a 1099 and only earned about $6,000 for 2007. I only put $500 in taxes because most of my pay this year was tax exempt (being that I am deployed). How should we file our taxes?
