I don't write letters often to Federal Agencies, however, wen I do, they almost always go unanswered for several months, or several years or in most cases - never. Just trying to get a feel for a viable defense if they come back one day down the road. Thanks.

No. The Federal Rules of Evidence do not have a statute similar to O.C.G.A. 24-4-23. The closest would be FRE 301 but that would not likely help you in your specific circumstances.

You should consult an attorney directly. You have multiple issues that you need to discuss with someone and I don't think anyone can properly address those through this board. Further, if you currently have a divorce proceeding pending, it is important that you obtain an attorney, especially... View More

In Georgia, the timeline for receiving proceeds from the sale of a tax-foreclosed property can vary depending on the specific county's procedures and the complexity of the case. It's not uncommon for the process to take several months. If you filed your claim papers in July 2022 and... View More
So that I am not impacted, would we need to sell the asset in order to not have it taken in a bankruptcy? Are there any other impacts to me if my business partner goes through with this?
answered on Sep 8, 2023
Yes, there are "impacts" that concern you (I currently represent a debtor in a Ch. 7 who has been a general partner in a small business construction company which has had a non-bankrupt general partner as well).
A general partner is personally liable for the debts of a... View More

The ability of a state to garnish wages for past income tax debt, even after several years, depends on the statutes of limitations in that state.

Unfortunately, you should have determined the issue of unpaid taxes during discovery, in your divorce. Finding that out after the divorce is final, leaves you out of options of how to handle it. Because now that the divorce is final, you can't ask the Court for an order for him to pay any of... View More

At auction due to a death and the property to be considered unclaimed
answered on May 9, 2023
Your question is not clear as to the type of auction involved. There is no right of redemption after a foreclosure sale in Georgia. If this was a tax sale, redemption can occur until such time as the tax sale purchaser forecloses the right to redeem, which cannot occur until one year after the... View More

Yes, you can sell the property, but she will have to join in the signing as her life estate as well as your remainder interests have to be transferred to the purchaser. If she is mentally unable to sign, then hopefully someone has a durable financial power of attorney for her so they can sign on... View More
This was reported on a 1099-MISC, causing TurboTax to make her a small business owner. She is an employee of the pre-school, not an independent contractor. How do we report this income without starting a non-existent business?
answered on Apr 13, 2023
There are different types of 1099s, which are used to report various different types of payments. Although independent contractors typically receive 1099s, receiving a 1099 doesn't automatically make a person an independent contractor. Your wife should consider speaking with a knowledgeable...

We filed jointly, I’m afraid I’ll lose my house. I can’t see details of any agreements/payments made to IRS on IRS.gov… what are my options ?
answered on Nov 14, 2022
You should have the IRS mirror your account. This will still hold you jointly liable however your account will be view as individual rather than with your ex spouse. Then you can get into a payment plan based off what you can afford.

Not having a 1099 does not mean you can skip reporting the income made. As you likely are aware this is considered self-employment work (if you've made $600 or more) and should be tracked/ reported accordingly. You can do so by filing out a schedule C. Here you will be able to account for the... View More

I currently have a Georgia LLC doing video editing and will be moving to Michigan in a couple of months. Since I will be doing the work in Michigan I assume I would register there, but do I have to register as a foreign entity in Georgia? Will I end up paying tax to both states? How does that work?...

answered on Sep 30, 2022
If you begin conducting business in Michigan and don't do do anything else with the company, you will need to register in Michigan as a foreign entity since it is a Georgia entity (regardless of where you reside). Assuming you will not be moving back to Georgia soon, it makes sense to just... View More
