The court order must be followed. The IRS hasn't read your divorce decree. Just because you are eligible to claim the child doesn't mean you can. You would be in violation of the divorce decree.

or would I need to dissolve one and then start the new business. I am thinking of changing because I want to change what we are selling and to who we are selling to.
answered on Oct 31, 2017
Changing the name of a corporation does not convert the corporation into a different one. It simply would be the same corporation with a different. You would not necessarily need to dissolve the old corporation. You could form a new corporation if you do not want to use the existing one. This... View More
I need to understand the taxes that would need to be paid. For example, if I sell my business for 1 million dollars and pay a 10% commission and $5K in closing costs would taxes be on the gross sale or the net profit.

With the kind of money you mentioned, I strongly recommend that you retain and consult with a tax attorney or CPA familiar with these issues. How the sale is structured might make a difference in the tax consequences.
Freelancers mostly count as self-employed, but freelance teachers are a exception in this European country: They must pay social security (almost 20% of their income into retirement, health insurance on top of that). Of course, they also pay income tax on their profit. Is such a teacher subject to... View More

Wow, what a mess. The answer is that you will need to deal with the new owner, which may be the bank. But, whoever buys the home has the right to evict you, so try to locate and speak to that person about your dilemma. You may be permitted, at least in the short term, to pay rent and stay a while....

Not legally. Each state taxes citizens and businesses on their regulated products that are fueled by addictions. Booze, cigarettes, drugs, marijuana --- are easy targets for legislators to generate tax money.

You REALLY need to talk with a local probate / real estate attorney about this. If the house is really 'upside down' and all that is left are debts why would you want to insinuate yourself into that house if you aren't already a joint owner of it?

I report income to me personally or to the LLC? Is there a tax advantage for doing either?
answered on Mar 2, 2017
Typically an LLC's income would be reported on your own tax return on a Schedule C and you would pay self-employment taxes on any net income. If you have filed a S Corporation election for the LLC, then the LLC would file a separate tax return. In that case, it comes down to a fact-specific... View More

Either this is a scam, or they've been looking for you for a long time. I'd go find a professional because this sounds a lot like a scam.

Maybe. I would call and tell them you're going to pay and request they hold collections.
