Securities that have a market value of zero. Worthless securities can include stocks or bonds that are either publicly traded or privately held. These securities result in a capital loss for the owner and can be claimed as such when filing taxes. The problem with declaring worthless securities as a loss for tax purposes is that you must sell securities before making this claim. Unfortunately, worthless securities are unsellable. Another difficulty comes from investors who own securities that they are not sure are totally worthless in a given year. If they go ahead and declare them as such and then they are deemed to have value the next year, taxpayers can file an amended return for the previous year and redeclare the loss the following year.
The aggregation of a taxpayer's domestic and foreign income. Worldwide income is income earned anywhere in the world and is used to determine taxable income. In the U.S., citizens and resident aliens are subject to tax on worldwide income. The IRS demands to know about all of a taxpayer's worldwide income, taxable or otherwise. Money that is paid to U.S. citizens or resident aliens as wages, independent contractor payments or unearned income from pensions, rents, royalties and investments may all be subject to tax by the IRS. There are some exceptions for U.S. taxpayers who live abroad. See IRS Publication 525 for more information.
A separate, nonrefundable credit that is part of the general business credit. The work opportunity tax credit is designed to encourage employers to hire workers from certain minority groups with higher-than-average unemployment rates.

Tax Credit The work opportunity tax credit is figured on Form 5884, and is aggregated with all of the other business credits. There are several targeted groups of workers that will qualify their employers for this credit, including veterans, ex-felons, high-risk youth, food stamp recipients, SSI recipients and several other groups.
An IRS form, also known as "Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification", which is used by an individual defined as a "U.S. person" or a resident alien to verify his or her taxpayer identification number (TIN). An entity that is required to file an information return with the IRS must obtain your correct TIN to report, for example, income paid to you, real estate transactions, mortgage interest you paid, etc. For example, companies that issue dividends use the W-9 form to verify a shareholder's TIN.If you are defined as a "foreign person" for federal tax purposes, you do not use the W-9 form. Rather, the IRS requires you to use the appropriate W-8 form.Even though employees are legally required to supply certain personal information to their employers, an employee's privacy is protected by law. An employer that discloses an employee's personal information in any unauthorized way may be subjected to civil and criminal prosecution.
Any tax that is taken directly out of an individual's wages or other income before he or she receives the funds. In other words, these funds are "withheld" from your wages.

A W-4 is a form that individuals complete for withholding purposes, whereas a W-2 form is for employers to fill out. The employer must provide the employee their W-2 form by the deadline set by the IRS.
An Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rule prohibiting a taxpayer from claiming a loss on the sale of an investment when the same investment was purchased within 30 days before or after the sale date. Also know as the "30-day wash-sale rule". This rule was imposed to crack down on taxpayers trying to get a tax reduction from a wash sale.
An IRS form that grants a foreigner an exemption from certain U.S. information return reporting and backup withholding regulations.There are many variations of the W-8 form, such as the W-8BEN and W-8ECI. One of the main purposes of this document is to show brokers and mutual fund companies that the foreign investor is not subject to the typical taxation practice where tax is withheld from investment income (e.g. dividends and coupon payments). If adequate documentation is not supplied with a W-8 form, the foreign investor will be subject to the normal rates of backup withholding.
