My brother and his girlfriend have lived together for 14 years and have a 13-year-old daughter. My brother files as head of household and claims their daughter as a dependent. His girlfriend files single and makes about $11K/year. Can she claim the earned income credit even though my brother claims their daughter on his taxes?

I am using TurboTax for the web. My wife received a payment for bonus and travel expenses from a state-run (Florida) organization that is not her employer related to educational courses she took during 2007. She received a 1099-MISC with the amount in Box 7. How do I report this since she is not an employee of the company that sent her the money nor is she self-employed? TurboTax requires me to enter one of several options that do not apply to her situation, such as filing an SS-8 or indicating she is an employee. How should I report the income?

If I made 17,500 this year from a divorce agreement under distribution of assets, do I need to pay taxes? I am 33 years old, recently divorced with a 6-year-old dependent, and believe I would file as head of household. The payments are not under alimony or child support, and we have joint custody of our child. Who claims her as a deduction?

I'm 33 and have never filed taxes. I don't have a copy of my W-4. What do I need to do to start filing taxes and what penalties am I facing?
