I have registered a corporation in WA (C-CORP). I have a consulting project coming up. I tried to use the WA corporation to do the consulting because the consulting fee is not taxable in WA.

You also are not eligible for UI form an S-corp if you had not W2 wages. An S-corp distribution is not SE or IC income for UI or PPP purposes. You have to have paid... View More

That's perfectly legal. You just have to be sure to set it up properly for tax purposes to make sure you're not creating additional tax while also charging enough to avoid a transfer pricing issue.
The online site says it is "still" processing. From what I have read when it says this "STILL" that means we need our Identity verified and should have gotten a 5071c letter. We have not received one. It's been close to 60 days since we e-filed with direct deposit.... View More

Unfortunately a lot of IRS processes are slower than usual due to the current situation. There really is not anyone to contact at this time. IRS employees are slowly coming back into and doing more work from home but it is going to take time. Once the customer service lines are back up and... View More
the check arrived. It is made out to both my husband and me. Am I entitled to the entire $2,400.00? Can the executor sign on behalf of my husband so I can deposit the check into my account?

There is not currently guidance on this matter from the IRS. However, if the individual passed in 2019 and the payment was based on the 2019 return there is a string argument that he payment is proper. Second, the IRS has made clear that outside fraud on the part of an individual these payment will... View More
Husband and wife separated in September, but filed taxes together. Their tax refund (and now stimulus payments) go into his bank account. They have 3 children, living with mom.

My son receives SSI and I receive SSDI, does this affect the timing of his deposit or should it have been deposited at the same time if I was going to receive it? I filled out the form online prior to the SSDI deadline to include my dependants.

Not receiving a 1099 does not stop you from reporting your income. You're still required to report it and pay tax. File a return for the income and then wait until your state's healthcare marketplace has open enrollment. Fill out the application for the premium tax credit and get a... View More

First, you can sue anyone for anything.
The question is can you survive summary judgement, I have no clue. I'd need way more information to make a determination.
I would only make that determination after you retained me as your attorney.

That depends on what kind of fraud you are trying to go about. The bar association and the IRS tend to frown on attorneys teaching people how to commit tax fraud so I will not be providing examples. Maybe your dad could show you how.
My father inherited land, which he sold in 2017 but did not pay the tax at the time of sale. The IRS charged these taxes in 2018, which my parents were paying at $200/month. There is still over $3,000 owing. My father died in April 2019. Is my mother still responsible for paying this tax?
answered on Apr 24, 2020
It's going to depend based on filing status,potential innocent spouse defense, and possibly other factors.
Short answer is it depends. You should retain counsel to review the matter and deal with the IRS directly to challenge the tax assessed or work out a plan to resolve the amounts owed.

It's rarely worth it to file married seperate in community property states. Find an accountant or CPA that knows tax (not all of them do) and have them do the return. Running a comparison is easy once the return is done.

If you didn't sign an agreement to allow the employer to use your likeness in their advertising they do not have a right to do so. You should provide notice you do not want your likeness used. You'll probably end up needing to retain counsel to make them take it down.
How to get stimulus payment? I listed myself as homemaker and didn’t file injured spouse claim. I don’t think it’s fair that me and my kids don’t get anything is there something I could do?

There's not enough information here to determine a course of action. I would suggest hiring a local CPA or Tax Attorney to assist you.
