You should consult your bankruptcy attorney regarding the Indiana protocol for handling tax refunds
It will be sourced through print on demand, so I will not personally be fulfilling the orders, except at the occasional booth set up at a local fair/farmers market.

Kudos for thinking about sales tax.
The business (whether a sole proprietor, LLC, corporation, however the business is organized and operated) needs to obtain a Registered Retail Merchant's Certificate to collect and remit sales tax. You will first need a tax ID for the business. If... Read more »
Divorce final in May 2021. Decree states that the petitioner can claim in 2021 and odd years. Respondent can claim in 2022 and even years. My ex husband is fighting me on this even though I’ve tried explaining that I claim this year.
answered on Jan 22, 2022
The tax year is the year the taxes are due for and not the year they are filed in. So if the mother is awarded the odd years then they would be 2021, 2023, 2025 etc. In other words in 2022 you file for 2021 which is an odd year. You may have to get the lawyers or courts involved again if there... Read more »
She agreed to him doing this in 2019,her taxes got denied while his got accepted.Her son lives full time with her.
answered on Feb 24, 2021
She needs to file a paper return with a letter stating that the child lives with her full time. The IRS will usually investigate and ask each parent to prove who had primary custody.
We tried to recover by filing an amendment, however the county claims the dealine had passed.

Generally, time deadlines for tax assessment appeals are hard deadlines. So if you have missed this deadline you probably cannot contest an assessment for that closed year. However, you could contest for the next year. Finally, I am not a Indiana attorney, so to be sure of your rights to contest... Read more »
I received a settlement in 2017 for a personal injury suit. In June of this year the IRS advised that I owe tax on this. I never received a 1099 for the settlement. The IRS stated I need to go through a tax attorney. I have very limited income at this time and not sure how to proceed.

How to get stimulus payment? I listed myself as homemaker and didn’t file injured spouse claim. I don’t think it’s fair that me and my kids don’t get anything is there something I could do?
answered on Apr 23, 2020
There's not enough information here to determine a course of action. I would suggest hiring a local CPA or Tax Attorney to assist you.
answered on Apr 14, 2020
There are only two requirements for anyone to receive the stimulus check: Filing an income tax return for 2018 or 2019 (2019 tax returns can be filed anytime, but--because of the pandemic--they are not due until August of September, 2020); and still be alive and breathing.

For IRS purposes whichever parent provided more than half of the support for the child is the custodial parent and is entitled to claim the child.
To transfer that right to the other parent requires a Form 8332. A verbal promise is not enforceable.
Based on the information... Read more »

In my opinion, it would be best to pay it, so your account shows that you are all paid up with your state.
It was my last joint return after a divorce filed through a preparer in Indianapolis, IN. The preparer has claimed that for "privacy reasons" she can't give me a copy, though she did give my ex a copy. I did pay half the fees for the prep but paid them directly to my ex. This is... Read more »

If you filed a joint return with your ex husband you are entitled to a copy of the joint return. However, if you intend to give your copy to another tax preparer, then your ex husband will have to consent to the release of HIS confidential information.
He has refused to let me have any of the $750 rapid refund we were approved for. He then took every bit of the remaining funds off of the card. Due to his abusive alcoholism we are not staying together as of 2/13/20.

Did you report any income on the joint return that contributed to the refund? If so, you may be entitled to injured spouse relief.
My husband was involved in a rear end collision that caused damage to his spine. He will soon lose his physically demanding job due to his injury. We need to withdraw from his 401k - would this situation exempt us from paying the 10% penalty for early withdrawal? Thank you!
answered on Feb 5, 2020
A tax attorney or officer at your bank should be able to advise you on the tax aspects of such a withdrawal. But the more important question here is why you and your husband are contemplating the withdrawal. If your husband is represented by an attorney in this accident, it's possible that... Read more »

DCS is saying that to foster parents are allowed to clean my kids on their taxes but I don't think that is right but they won't tell me the rules on why they can my kids were only in DCS care for maybe 5 months
answered on Dec 31, 2019
If a government agency has placed the children with a family then that qualifies for the relationship test required to claim the child as a dependent.
Assuming the other factors are in line they would be allowed to claim the child.
This is very common in foster situations.

It depends on the corporate structure and jurisdiction. It'll also depend on your other income. You'll most likely have additional reporting requirements personally. You're best off finding a tax expert to advise you on this.
