If there is a court order granting the uncle the authority to claim the children on taxes, the best route is to petition the court to modify the order. If there is no court order granting that authority, he may have the right to claim them for 2021 in any event since the children were residing in... View More

Unless you have some form of legal custody of your grandson, I do not believe you are entitled to claim him on your taxes. You should consult a tax professional to be sure (accountant or tax attorney), but I am highly confident that you cannot claim your grandson on your taxes or get any kind of... View More

That would depend on the current court order regarding which party is entitled to claim the child on taxes. If the order grants the parent who is subject to the OOP the right to claim the child on taxes, then yes - until the order is modified by the Court or the parties agree, in writing, to a... View More

There are a couple of ways to change the outcome of missing the time period to... 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.

If you signed an 8332 you would file a contempt action in domestic court. You'd need to discuss that with a local attorney that knows AZ domestic law. I do not.

How do I put a lien on this?
answered on Feb 20, 2020
An owner cannot have a lien on their own property. If the lender was an entity of the owner, then the entity can have a lien. Talk to an experienced litigator, with real estate experience.

I was forced to include my va disability payments to calculate withholding for back taxes owed. This cost me an extra 1000 per month

The IRS is NOT taxing your VA disability benefits. They are collecting back taxes that you admit you owe. Rather than look the other way or otherwise ignore your VA benefit income, the IRS "forced" you to include the monthly payments you receive when they figured up how much you could... View More
Should have mentioned I was asking about charities who are beneficiaries. And if they do not get K-1's, do the real persons share the total loss based on their percentages of the estate? Thank you
answered on Mar 28, 2019
No, you don't send K-1's to a charity. The trust takes a charitable deduction for amounts sent to a charity not a distribution deduction that would produce a K-1.

Yes. You give her the refund, she withholds the proper portion, then sends you the balance and closes the estate. They don’t just tell you how much and hope that you pay them.

Normally, they should be paid by the seller on or before the closing date of the sale but this liability could be shifted to you as part of your purchase price. If this was... View More
