Are you sure she was supposed to receive more then what you were sent? The only other reason that I know of why you would not have received the full amount is she may have owed additional debts that had priority or the state did not update the records to indicate the full amount she owed. Also if... View More

If the amount is high enough to make it worth your while to hire a tax attorney then you may want to go ahead and hire someone. If the amount is too low then I recommend calling the taxpayer advocate to see if they can assist you. Trying to resolve this on your own may get very frustrating.

Don’t let the companies failure deter you. Present them with a W-10 and ask for that info. If the company refuses, file a claim for the credit with the info that you have and attach an explanation to your return to document your request for the missing info. The IRS may deny the credit at... View More

This question has too many unknowns at this point to answer in this short space.

No. You lost it when the person who bid the highest at the auction. You could (should) have bid on it yourself.

answered on Sep 11, 2019
You may be able to "get back on a payment plan" but not by asking lawyers here on Justia. Call the organization that conducted the tax sale.
The check is made out to my now closed LLC.
answered on Aug 13, 2019
You'll have to review the settlement documents to see what the settlement was for. Some items are taxed and some are not.

Can a hearing officer in PA give a child tax credit to the noncustody person that makes less than I and our settlement agreement says that i get both tax credits and make me sign the 8222 form.
answered on May 4, 2019
Regardless of who earns what, and regardless of what the settlement agreement says, the IRS gets to determine who is entitled to the child tax credit. So if the hearing officer in PA is affiliated with the IRS, the answer is yes.

It is for your 2018 return and may not be in 2019 as well. Consult with an accountant or attorney familiar with the tax law changes and have him/her review the agreement/order awarding alimony.
She currently resides in the home and I pay child support and mortgage support. How much can I take of the marital home deductions since it’s in my name also? Doesn’t the child support cover housing expense too.
answered on Mar 19, 2019
Child support is not deductible regardless of what its spent on.
I've never heard of mortgage support before, but there's no deduction for it.
If you mean that you pay the mortgage directly to the bank then you can deduct the interest for the amount you pay on Sch A.... View More
I settled all my credit card debt by reaching agreements with the credit card companies. I settled my debt for about 50 percent. I paid off the balances that were not discharged. Is the discharged debt taxed as income?
answered on Feb 27, 2019
Yes, discharged debt is reported on Form 1099-C and is taxable to the recipient. There is an exemption for insolvency but you'd have to run the worksheets from IRS.gov.

First, don't publicly post to a forum how you're committing tax evasion and tax fraud.
Second, pull together all your expenses related to the job and fill out a Schedule C for 2018.
