In many places, if a tax initiative has been voted down by the people through a valid referendum process, it typically cannot be passed by a city council or committee without a subsequent public vote or significant changes to the proposal. However, the specifics can vary depending on local laws and... View More
We bought a house last year that has turned out to be a money pit. We've wasted quite a bit of money on repairs, while also finding out that the whole street is pretty much a party street. We're out of city limits, so the cops say theres nothing they can do. I'm enrolled in online... View More

You might have to file an Action for a Partition Sale. Hire a competent AR attorney to prosecute this Action which will probably involve some service by publication. The taxes paid might be recovered as contributions, but do not count on it.

You have a lot of issues that cannot properly be answered in this format. I suggest you contact a tax attorney to discuss your questions in greater detail. Most of us offer a free consultation.

Yes indeed they do. Normally, life insurance companies pay interest with the proceeds of insurance from the date of death until they issue the check.

I would keep an eye on any mail that comes in his name. Most likely they will mail him something at some point at which time you can contact them. Also look for any estate plans that he has in his home perhaps in a safe or filing cabinet. If he has an estate plan you can also try to contact the... View More

No, there's no requirement for them to advise you.
Attorneys literally protect you from stuff like this.
Find one you like and pay them to give you advice.
The only thing more expensive than an attorney is not having an attorney.
Sorry that happened to you.... View More

An Arkansas attorney would be in the best position to answer, if there are state-specific laws involved. But your question remains open for a week. As a general matter in any jurisdiction, you are free to separate from your attorney. At the same time, your attorney could be entitled to compensation... View More
The bond is 2500 and I was told by the defendant that I would only have to pay $250 to get them out. Where would I pay the $250? And are they responsible for the rest of the money later?
answered on Jul 12, 2019
You need to pay the $250 to a bail bondsman; but please know that you are not going to get it back--because it is like an insurance premium. If the defendant fails to show up for court hearings the bondsman will have to fork over the $2,500 to the state; and then the bondsman will com looking for... View More

Yes. Under IRS rules and regulations, deferring to state marital law, incarceration does not change your marital status. You are able to file married jointly.

My spouse is incarcerated and it appears that their ssn was e-filed on a return by someone already without permission.
answered on Apr 3, 2019
Be very careful here. If you attempt to file jointly after your spouse (or someone else posing as your spouse) has filed, the IRS will likely notice the duplicity in SSANs--and will possibly hold YOU responsible. The last thing either of you two need is the IRS coming after you.

If there was judgment on the balance owed against you it would be very difficult and costly to dispute. The smartest way to handle that would be good tax planning to ensure you have no refund coming back at the end of the year for the creditor to intercept. If you can ensure the tax withholding...

I cannot be sure but it sounds like he owes back taxes. He will need to contact the Arkansas Department of Finance to find out why if he does not know. Or you can hire an attorney and they can research it for you.
Example: Ordinary income,12k. Capital loss, 24k.
answered on Aug 11, 2018
You can only use Capital Losses to offset capital gains. If you don’t have any capital gains, you can write off $3,000 per year until you either have enough capital gains to offset the remaining loss or you exhaust the whole capital loss using the $3,000 per year. In your example only $3,000 of... View More
