Yes you technically can, but it doesn't work. You end up netting if it works out well and you have to defend it in an audit. It always ends up being net taxable when the IRS recalculates the FMV of the rental.
Once you run all the numbers it's comes out that you create tax out of... View More
I have been made aware that I should have filed my tax returns as married separately instead of single and it could affect my husband’s immigration process. He is living in Mexico and has never been to the U.S. How should I go about making an amend and what info do I need to provide on the form... View More

You are advised to ensure you status is accurate. If subsequent to the fling you were made aware of an error, you should amend the return as soon as possible with explanation of an “inadvertent mistake”. I hope this helps. Good luck. Zaher Fallahi, Esq, CPA (CA &D.C.).

I am a U.S citizen who is trying to get my husband a green card, We got married in 2017 and I have always filed my taxes single since then because I was told by the accountant that I didn’t need to do anything different since my husband did not live with me. Is this going to affect my husbands... View More

If you are married, you should be filing your federal tax returns as “married” and not as “single”. USCIS or the U.S. consulate can take the position that you are not in fact married based on your filed federal tax returns. Keep in mind that you will have to present your last tax return...

Invest firm is based in Houston, TX. Trustee lives in Texas. Beneficiary lives in Georgia.

It depends on the income tax nexus created by the GA beneficiary under GA tax law.
The beneficiary likely has GA income if the disability is taxable.
I'd suggest retaining a tax attorney or CPA to review the situation and file accordingly.
Will the irs take all of our stimulus check for back time child support if we file jointly?
answered on Apr 3, 2020
It has been in the news that if someone owes back child support they will not be able to receive the stimulus payment. I’m not sure how that is going to play out at that time. Filing jointly won’t likely impact it either way. Plus, the new tax date has been pushed back to July. -Homer P. Jordan... View More

If you provide over half of the child support and you have written proof of same, and you are the parent then you may claim on your income tax return, but, if you are audited you have to prove it. Save all checks, written receipts, and all other written evidence.;attach a statement to your return... View More

Unfortunately my partner has not been filing his tax, we file married but separate. My partner cannot even find his 2018/2017 w-2s for us to file now and make payment.

You will need to respond to the RFE and show that you have complied with your obligation of filing a federal tax return during the time that you have been a U.S. resident. If you were employed in the U.S. prior to receiving your resident status , you also must file federal tax returns for those... View More
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.
They automatically take out federal taxes but since it’s office is based in Miami, they don’t take out any income tax.
answered on Jan 28, 2020
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.
answered on Nov 1, 2019
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.

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.

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.
answered on Jun 20, 2019
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.

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
