Tax problems are the worst. But you can get help easily
The definition of a tax is a contribution to state revenue that the government levies on income or profits, or adds to transactions. The money gathered through taxes is then used for the public good, building infrastructure, defending the country, and funding programs. When it’s time to file and pay your taxes, it’s easy to get confused by the various questions and worksheets, and it can be helpful to ask a tax expert.
When you run into a question that's keeping you from getting your taxes finished, it can help to ask an accountant online. The Experts on JustAnswer are a fast and affordable source of accurate tax information, and can save you the time and expense of scheduling a visit to an accountant.

No tax question is too difficult for Experts on JustAnswer
On JustAnswer, tax questions like these are answered regularly:
- My 92-year-old mom has 23,628 in social security benefits. Does she have to file a tax return?
- If I live in Florida, but I have three businesses in Illinois, do I have to pay the state sales tax on my income from them?
- I filed my return electronically and it's been accepted. I received a 1099 I wasn't expecting. I don't mind filing an amended return, but will it hold up my pending return?
- I run a motorcycle owner’s group and we have an online store. Do I need to establish non-profit?
- I leased a vehicle and paid taxes in the lease. I bought the vehicle, and they said I would have to pay another $800 in taxes. Why do I have to pay more in taxes if I paid them through my lease?
In order to give you the best advice, the Expert will need to know a little about your situation. You should be prepared to answer questions such as:
- What state is this in?
- Has anything been filed or reported?
