He also had three RRIF’s naming each niece a beneficiary to each RRIF. The uncle died with dementia before changing the beneficiary of the only... Read more »
That may have been poor planning on your uncle’s part, but the niece who was the designated beneficiary has no legal obligation to share. The presumption is that is what your uncle intended. If she is inclined to voluntarily share, she should first consult with an attorney about possible tax... Read more »
One person said to use C & G assessment value instead of fair market value to compute inheritance tax. True?
PA inheritance tax on bequests to child/children is five percent. When that is paid, the property enjoys a "stepped up basis", so that on a subsequent sale of the property, any capital gain is computed as the difference between the stepped up basis and the sale price, both for PA and... Read more »
What happens if I don't give her the 3rd stimulus check?

I did not register wanted it as private property.can man own private property? Thanks

I have paid to have a nonprofit created for me from a trusted source. If it was formed incorrectly and I get audited for not paying the correct amount of taxes... Would this be considered tax evasion(jail time?) or just tax avoidance (legal, so just an extra fine)
It isn't possible to answer your question based on the limited information provided and, because of the sensitive nature, I would recommend having a confidential consultation with an attorney subject to attorney-client privilege. When something is done wrong on your tax return, it not lawful... Read more »
DCF 150 has a broad definition of income and it's not clear if these would count as gross income for either the calculation of child support or any existing order that requires a reconciliation of support based on gross income.
I do not believe tax refunds or federal stimulus payments would count as "income" for support calcuation purposes. Government benefits like food stamps, daycare assitsance, etc. typically do not either. This obviously isn't settled law as the stimulus payments are novel.
For the past 5 yrs have not been on the books now they want me on payroll what sort of trouble would this cause

I'm thinking I should apply for the 501(c) (3) status in the very beginning with no members or place to "worship" because in the beginning the IRS won't see me as anything that could be taking monies they could otherwise be taxing.
For example, if I'm just... Read more »

Is there a child support order? If so, you may need to address some of this with the friend of the court. You may also need to make a motion in court about the stimulus money and to make clear who can claim the children for taxes.
If an estate is worth 10 million now, would it be better to gift half of the estate to avoid the 47% estate tax on anything over 5 million which the new law reverts to in 2026...or possibly sooner

It would depend on the wording of the trust document. And just because you conveyed property from the trust to the LLC by a quitclaim deed doesn't mean that the LLC has good title.
