Federal and Minnesota Income Tax and ITIN
Wednesday March 25, 2004
Since 2 days ago we  have  packed our stuffs because   we will be moving if not this weekend will be on next week.

Today we got approval from rental office for moving there.

Yesterday I got information from my friend here that the apt that we will stay is not really safe because there were stolen cases (tape and vehicles accesoriess)  and sex assault. But then that happened 2 years ago. And based on the police dept there, last year the cases were only
3 cases of parking violation.

We prayed last night for God protect us when we live there. And also it make us more cautious. It is a good thing.

I learnt more about taxes. And yes there are 2 different things that we have to report, Federal Tax and State Tax. Also I found that we can claimed for property tax refund.
The problem is Jenny don't have Social Security Number for James to input in his married filling joint form. Then I called SS office to find if I could obtained the SSN, but the answer was the same as several months ago. That I need to have working permit first. Then I called Minnesota Tax  office and they referred me to IRS in order to get ITIN.
ITIN ( Individual Taxpayer Indentification Number) is the number for federal tax purposes. But also it needed for MN tax purpose.
I called IRS and they explained to me, which 1st time I felt exhausted because the CS didn't answer my question well or if he did then I didn't understand well due to his repeatedly speaking, loud voice and didn't have any patience in his voice at all. The result is I was tired and exhausted. But I still have to find out more. Then I tried to find the form W7 is the form that I need to fill it and send along with our income tax report to Federal office in PI and also send the copy of my application for getting ITIN ( form W7) to MN tax office here when James will  submit
the income tax to them.
And what we need to do as the next step is go to IRS local office here and get my passport to be notarized so we can send the W7 with along supporting documents to Federal tax  office and MN tax office.
We have to do it right away because the due date for sending income tax report is April 15. And for getting the ITIN is taken 6 weeks. But shouldn't worry at all because we will done with sending the income tax and what we need is waiting for them to give us income tax refund which maybe take time longer than 6 weeks.
 
2 days ago, I made my pizza using pizza mix for the 1st time! and the result was not bad. I used Chef Boyardee brand. And made hot spicy chicken pizza.
Since Sunday I have been working on stitching project. And the result are 2 pillow clothes for couch. And a table cloth for kitchen table. All of these are from materials that Maria gave to me. And I tried to find the color and texture that will match with the couch and table and also the interior we want to create. Also the next step is let the sewing machine to fix, and make curtains, throw, and bedcover.
