The house was my primary residence until I moved out of Georgia over 10 years ago. Unfortunately, the house fell into disrepair, so I sold it for a loss of about $30,000.
What are my tax implications? Do I even need to file in Georgia (given that it's a loss)? I'm only asking... View More

No income on sale due to the loss, no deduction on loss since it's personal property.
You should file a non-resident return just in case the state has a copy of the 1099-S.
If they do and you don't file they'll send you a bill for tax on the gross sales proceeds.
Kind of a headache to fix.

One option might be to look into the Q & A resources or online help resources of the IRS or Georgia Dept. of Revenue - they might be able to provide direction. Good luck

They automatically take out federal taxes but since it’s office is based in Miami, they don’t take out any income tax.

Yes, your resident state will tax all your income worldwide.
Obviously you can still take foreign exclusionary or credits as allowed, but you will need to file a GA return and calculate tax owed.
I would contact HR and find out why tax is not being taken out and sent to GA.... View More
I want to start a contract vending business in Dalton, GA using bulk vending machines. I don't know if I'm legally obligated to collect salestax on the products the machine dispenses, or hto collect the tax in the event I am obligated to.
answered on Jan 4, 2020
Yes you have to remit sales tax unless another exemption applies. There's no exemption for products sold via a vending machine.
You apply the tax to the gross sakes.
only a court order from an interpleader action filed in the county where the tax sale occurred, by the claimant for the funds, shall serve as justification for release of the funds.

You need to file an interpleader action in the county and prosecute the case.
Sounds like it's time to hire a professional.
Hi, I recently submitted an IRS Offer in Compromise and it was accepted. I plan to make my payment using EFTPS payment system and it is asking for the individual tax periods. I am unsure which tax period to select because the tax periods I owe for the Offer in Compromise are 2011,2012,2014,2015 and... View More

You don't have to designate a period for payments but if you default on the OIC the IRS has to apply the payment to the period designated. So if you complete the OIC it doesn't matter, but if you don't you've paid down the most recent tax debt which the IRS has the most time to collect.
I owe the IRS for previous years around $65K and have not yet filed for those years. I would love to set up a payment plan, but according to their website, in order to qualify for a long-term payment plan "you must owe $50,000 or less in combined tax, penalties and interest, and filed all...

You are not eligible for any resolution plan until you are in compliance. So until you file those prior year returns your application for an installment agreement will be rejected.
Making a lump sum payment will reduce your IA amount and reduces interest on your account.

If you don't intend to make Georgia your permanent residence then you're not a resident.
You will still be taxed by GA on your state source income; so you'll need to file a non-resident return.

We moved years ago due to military deployment and stationed to another Post. We do not pay GA state tax due to Texas resident.

That’s a good question. It sounds like the tax is an unconstitutional burden on interstate commerce because it unfairly discriminates against out of state taxpayers. It would seem fair if every owner of real GA property paid the tax because that’s where the property is. But to soak out of... View More
Advocate, IRS nor Appeals will help me. My return was accepted. They keep telling me it was beyond 3 years and it wasn’t. I have my transcript where they accepted my extension.
answered on Jun 13, 2019
Without a full transcript review, it’s hard to say. The last attorney mentioned three years plus extensions. Try referencing the Internal Revenue Manual (IRM) section 25.6.1.5 that mentions 3 yrs plus extension for SOL for refunds. The IRS agents should follow their own guidelines. This might... View More
Until what date did I have to file my 2014 tax return in order to receive my refund?
Will that effect my taxes at the end of the year?
answered on Jun 10, 2019
There is no way anyone can tell you what the IRS might or might not do; but I will advise you not to comingle your own personal funds with your dad's business funds--unless you like tax problems.
Posted SL 55, Truck ahead 50-54 mph for 10 miles. Good spot to pass but not if you dawdle. Many states allow 5-10 MPH over SL to avoid forcing a driver to go for multiple miles in left lane to pass. No one forces you to pass if allowed it should be done in the safest manner possible.
answered on Jun 7, 2019
You are asking a question that is impossible to answer--other to say that most state laws do not post speed limits in ranges-- like 55 to 65 or 65-75, etc.

Unless South Carolina is still operating in the dark ages the answer is no.
In most modern states payment of property taxes entitles the person paying the taxes to apply for a "tax deed" which becomes a lien on the property. The property cannot be sold unless someone satisfies... View More

This is simple: If the checks were payable to you personally you can do (just about) whatever you want with them; and my advice on that point is to return the checks to whoever gave them to you, and document it very well.

I am not licensed in Georgia, but the rules are similar in Florida. The zoning designation of conservation is the least taxed category; accordingly, all land zoned in that category is also the most closely watched by taxing authorities.
In communities that are growing the conservation... View More

If you want to keep the property you had better contact the condemning authority and find out what you will have to do to bring the property back up to code, or whatever.
answered on Apr 27, 2019
You can, but they follow the property and likely will not be discharged if you still own the property.
