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.

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
We were handed 4 year of very steep penalties tried to be very honest with the state of Colorado but they said we still have to pay 44000 in penalties. Is there something that a lawyer could do to help us??
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

When you submit your affidavit of support it will ask for the past 3 years of your income. You will need to submit evidence showing that this year you are earning significantly more despite only having earned $8,000.00 on your prior return. A qualified immigration lawyer can assist you in this... View More

President wrote executive order for payroll tax deferral, with a payback date and no option out for military service members. Sounds like taxation without representation.
answered on Sep 10, 2020
There is no constitutional requirement for representation prior to taxation. Washington D.C. residents have no representation and they still pay income tax. If you travel through a state that you don't reside in you are still subject to that's state's sales tax even though you have... View More

While that sounds tempting it would be considered fraudulent and could not only result in fines and penalties but could create unintended consequences.
You should not do that.
You should look at loan rehabilitation or consolidation and an income based repayment options. With no... View More

No you can't be liable for a return you did not sign.
Sometimes collections can take joint property. In that case you would have to prove that you owned the property to get it back.
He should get someone to look at those missing years and get that resolved.
He will apply for an ITIN with the tax return.

Yes. You are a tax resident, not a permanent resident, if you reside in the U.S. for more than 183 days, so if you owe taxes, then you are required to file a Federal tax return. In addition, this filing can help confirm that you resided in the U.S. should it be necessary to prove it.

I think that after 30 days I am supose to receive a reimbursement is this true? if so how do I go about getting this back from hotel management?
answered on Jun 1, 2020
Probably, under CRS 39-26-704(3) stays of 30 consecutive days or more are tax exempt.
You should speak to the hotel first. If the hotel has already sent the tax to CDOR you would have to get your refund directly from them.
You also have to check the city an county rules. If the... View More

It is impossible to say without additional information. This is also something that should not be discussed in an open forum. You need to stop looking for answers here and contact a tax attorney where attorney client privilege will apply.
Over a period of multiple years.

If the person is audited then they can receive up to a 50% penalty depending on whether or not the IRS considers it fraud or not. That is on top of all the other penalties and interest that will also be assessed. I cannot tell you whether or not the IRS will audit a taxpayer without a lot more... View More
