I am kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place this year. I am a single 31 year old male who has 2 jobs. 1 full-time job where I made $16,956.00, and a part-time job where I made $2,002.00 in 2006. When I got my W-2 for my part-time job, I discovered that no federal taxes were taken out. So now, no refund which I needed. Luckily my full-time job took enough out to cover taxes for $19,000 or so that I made. I have no kids, and am two steps above from being homeless :) Anyone have any ideas as to how I can get out of paying the taxes on the part-time job?

PS: Just so that I don't sound too stupid, my part-time job does not give us pay-check stubs, it is just deposited into my checking account. Oh, and I don't want to brake the law, just wondering if there is a legal way out. :cool:

Sorry but the W2 is turned in to the IRS so they already know you had that income. So yes you have to report it. So it does not matter if they pay you cash or direct deposit, it is income and needs to be reported, plus since you were given a W2 the income is reported income

Thank you for your answer. Ya, I kinda know, I have to claim it. I usually just do a 1040Ez form and am wondering if I actually take my taxes to someone you know a Pro, if there are any other things I can claim to use as a write off. Like an Earned Income Credit. Oh well thinks for your answer.

Sorry, you make too much for EIC.

The type of work you do and your income level does not suggest much opportunity for big tax deductions.
