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.
Attorney’s poor advice and direction put us in a situation that we will lose our home plus need to pay another bank additional money. So is the total amount of our settlement taxable or only a portion? If only a portion what part?
My husband is currently disabled and we have had no income now for months. Until he can get any kind of help we have to pay to get our prior taxes done for his corporation (he no longer has - due to not being able to walk anymore); before we can do our personal taxes.

The penalty varies from plan to plan. You can check with the plan administrator to determine exact amount. It is unlikely that the IRS is even aware of the pension plan, do very doubtful that they will be able to seize money.
She gets to claim child on odd years and I still pay child support to her

Your ex-wife's employment (or lack of it) and/or remarriage isn't relevant. What matters is any agreement about who gets to claim the kid for tax purposes. If there's no agreement, then the parent with primary physical custody gets to claim the child. If there *is* an agreement,... View More
My ex has not filed his taxes the last few years. I am assuming it is because he has child support arrears he knows will be collected from it. He has worked- several different jobs (I'm usually notified of wage attachments and terminations) so he has enough income to file.
answered on Jan 4, 2019
If he's not current on his support obligation, you should definitely take him back to court for failure to comply/contempt. If he's paying his support every month, and he's also paying at least an additional 10% of the order to reduce the arrears, it may be more difficult to get any... View More

Two years ago, they offered me the choice to start receiving reduced monthly pension payments earlier, which I accepted. I was almost 60 at that time. I am still working for a different company. Are those pension payment taxable for Pennsylvania? My tax return program did not flag this, but I am... View More

You need to speak with a tax attorney who handles Pennsylvania issues. I can recommend Kelly Erb. Tell her I gave you her name. You will have to pay for the consult. A good Pennsylvania CPA would be another thought.
27 Pennsylvania Bulletin 306131; Pa. Code § 62.3 (E)(4) states “A total loss is settled based upon the pre-loss fair market value of the damaged vehicle plus the state sales tax on the cost of a replacement vehicle.” My brand new 2018 Honda CR-V 1,800 miles 3 week old was totaled.

I'll double check that but generally they pay the taxes on the value of the damaged car.
Next question is their damage value. You need to look at your contract --if the insurance says market value was 27 and you purchased for 32 something odd there. Or does the 32 include the tax? If... View More

Unfortunately you are liable for your tax liability if there was not enough withholding. The government holds the taxpayer responsible to review their checks for the proper withholding amount.

Generally if you agree to a lien for the amount they may withold. Most entities have regulations allowing you to ask for an exception. You may have some protection as a disabled person--call your state representative; also call the county disability rights advocate.
My wife had a student loan through HSBC, cosigned by her grandmother (now deceased). At some point this loan was sold to a lawyers office. Said lawyers office claims that HSBC owns the loan and HSBC claims the lawyers do. Are we legally liable for this debt since we don't know who owns it?

Your wife is obligated to the holder in due course of the note. You want to make sure you keep a log with date, time, identity of the person you speak with, and generally conduct things via snail mail. Yes hard copy and stamps. You save a copy of everything you get.

If the town has already filed liens then the liens will stay even if they declare bankruptcy and a payment arrangement will... View More
Donations would go to a local rod & gun club to help sponsor a fishing derby. Would there be tax implications of the interest gained if it's 100% donated?
answered on Jun 24, 2018
Generally no, but it has to be clear who the fund is for and it really makes sense for a non-profit tax attorney to look at that and advise you.

Furthermore, what is the tax burden for the sale of a personal residence in PA?
answered on Apr 15, 2018
The Internal Revenue Code allows a 250000 exclusion (500000 for married filing jointly) of gain from the sale of your primary residence if you lived there for at least 2 of the 5 years prior to selling it.
State tax entities may vary the amount of the exclusion.
