How can I protect my separate assets (cash, savings, car) from my spouse’s potential future debt claims (IRS seizure, collection lawsuits from business and credit card creditors)? Divorce is not anticipated. This is in Colorado.

This can be a tricky question, and it is my understanding that the answer may vary for different purposes, so it would be wise to also get opinions from a bankruptcy attorney and a tax attorney as well. This answer is going to be from an estate planning and family/divorce perspective. I do not... View More
I’m trying to get my refund still today. My identity has been confirmed, I get told wait 3 months every three months. They are busy and I get that. I need this money or I will be homeless. What are my rights?

To add a little bit to Linda's response - you could even get a little ahead by filling out an IRS Form 911. This is a written request for TPA help. Have that form completed when you call in and they will be able to give you more guidance on if you should mail or fax it in.

If you've been staying in a motel for a little over three months at a rate of $90 per day, calculating the total amount spent before taxes is the first step. To find this, multiply the daily rate by the number of days you have stayed.
The tax rate applied to your motel stay can vary... View More
There are two trusts in question. One for each of my children who are minors. They are living trusts set up by their deceased grandmother’s will and funded by her estate.

No attorney can or should attempt to answer your question without reviewing the instrument and/or court order that created the trusts. The best anyone can say in this forum is maybe. I would say the likelihood of you being able to do that is low.

No because the Trust owns the corpus, not you at death.
the Speed Limit of 25 mph is unreasonable and illegal in the State of Colorado when not for a School zone or Residential area, between Parking Lots and a freeway with a 65 mph speed limit, elsewhere in Eagle County the speed limit in such areas is 45mph such as in Avon Colorado
answered on Mar 11, 2023
If you believe that the speed limit was unreasonable or illegal, you may want to consult with a traffic attorney or contact the court to contest the ticket.

You can file a suit but your chance of success is very low.
You'd be better off submitting a request for refund with the tax agency.
Does my husband have the right to claim the kids every other year on his taxes if I'm the custodial parent?
answered on Sep 9, 2022
It depends on what your decree says. This is an aspect generally covered in a parenting plan. If not, Colorado statute says that the exemptions are taken in proportion to income so if you each make the same amount of income, then you would alternate every year.
I currently own and operate a tour company in Colorado and have a vendor booth set up here. I would like to be able to travel state to state to different biker rallies with my booth and be able to be a vendor in different places throughout the Summer.

Unless you become a part of a single organization that has already arranged rallies is various states, you will need to register with each rally you pan to attend. Each state (and each county or city) will expect you to hold a license to do business in that state and collect sales taxes. You may... View More
I have two sisters that want me to sell the lot and split it three ways. I don’t want to be liable for the taxes in their entirety after the sale. What kind of document do I need from them before I can sell the lot? How do I avoid the entire tax liability? Neither of us want the lot.
Thank you.
answered on Jan 25, 2022
This is an important question posed. As I understand it your parents left you and your sister a piece of property. I am assuming the property was to be owned jointly with your 2 sisters. Further I am assuming the property is in your name for convenient purposes (like to avoid probate). If that is... View More

Hi!
I recently filed my taxes with a filing agency, and they submitted my taxes as a dual member LLC, but we are a sole member LLC.
Am I going to get automatically audited? How can I protect myself?
answered on Jun 8, 2021
We are a sole member LLC? That sentence doesn't sound right.
This sounds like a marital partnership.
There's no additional tax or penalty for filing as a partnership vs a Sole-proprietership. Assuming that the partnership return was filed timely.
The difference... View More

You should speak with the caseworker. It sounds like you may not have received notice of the garnishment case so did not have the opportunity to respond. If that is what happened, and you have good cause for not responding, then you might be able to have the garnishment case reopened. If you are... View More

answered on Feb 26, 2021
Your penalties may be dischargeable in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy depending on how old they are, whether you filed the returns on time and whether a tax lien was recorded. Other factors need to be considered (e.g. your income, assets, other debt, etc.) Check with an experienced bankruptcy lawyer as... View More
