There are ways to avoid or reduce your capital gains from the sale of land. Commonly accepted methods are transactions involving a 1031 Exchange or investing the gain in Opportunity Zones.

I recommend that your father return to his estate planning attorney to discuss the pros and cons of adding someone to the title of his house. With few exceptions, at his death the mortgage will very likely need to be paid off and the property taxes will need to be paid. If the mortgage company... View More

Generally, a person has 60 days after filing a Voluntary Acknowledgement of Paternity to request that the father’s name be removed from the birth certificate, or more than 60 days if the request is based on... View More
I have a daughter with my ex girlfriend. We were never married and I had not claimed my daughter for my taxes this last year, but she is constantly asking me to give her my tax return as payment for child support. is there any legal action I can take for harassment?
answered on Feb 18, 2023
It is common for parents to exchange tax returns for purposes of determining whether a modification of child support is appropriate. In many custody orders, the parents are ordered to exchange this information.
If you are not subject to a court order that requires you to give yours, you... View More
They sent my bank Garnishment order, but gave me no notice, and letter was mailed two weeks after the actual notice was made. I am wondering if I have any actions I can take due to lack of notice?
answered on Sep 20, 2024
It sounds as if everything was done appropriately. You get told but only after the fact. Otherwise folks would quick withdraw the money before it is garnished.
There would be no sex but might be sexual or suggestive pictures and I wouldn’t be charging him for anything or asking him for money. I would only be accepting anything he decides to give me. If I do need to include it on taxes, what is the max amount I can accept from him before I legally need... View More

i want to know what my rights are, and if irs can come after me for not paying income tax?
answered on May 13, 2022
Yes - the IRS can "come after" you for not paying payroll tax. When you are paid under the table, it is your duty to make sure you are still reporting those earnings as income. The IRS and other agencies that receive your payroll taxes can also go after your employer for not deducting... View More
We were looking to do a deed transfer, but I had questions of triggering a capital gains tax, or gift tax. I was advised the recipient will inherit the gift giver's tax basis, thus losing the step up in basis at death that would otherwise have occurred, thus creating in most cases a capital... View More

I am only licensed to practice in Oregon so I can't speak to Florida law but in general it is better for your children to inherit your property because they receive a stepped-up basis. This means when they inherit your house after your death their new basis in the property is your... View More

I am still trying to get this straightened out. I paid H&R Block to handle back tax filings. They never file my 2018 return. Don't these people have a fiduciary responsibility? I suffered a significant financial loss due to their inaction. Do I have a case to sue them?
answered on May 20, 2020
First off H&R block are not accountants, they're return preparers regardless of their other certifications.
Second, they do have a responsibility but you're going to have file a lawsuit to get them to do much of anything once they've been paid. They do this all the time... View More

Child support payments are for CHILD SUPPORT. That means they are paid to the person responsible for supporting the child, which is certainly not the child. In some cases the court allows the mother (or the father, sometimes) to continue receiving the child support for some period of time after... View More

Not sure I understand everything that is going on and you will probably have to have a one on one with a lawyer at some point to sort this out. Courts are pretty much close right now so you won't get a hearing any time soon to order him to pay support but the child support offices are... View More

If you mean that the garnishment caused you to bounce checks you have already written, you are responsible. The IRS gives you time to get the levy released. If the bank has not already sent the money to the IRS you still have time to reach a collection alternative with them. Most of us offer a... View More
