But they continue to add a $29,000 manufactured home to my property taxes each year. What else can I do?
Each County has a period where Tax Appraisals can be contested. Contact the Tax Assessor in that County and find out what the process is and when. You too late for 2020 but you can file the written contested appraisal application now.
I have a question about CA Prop 19 that I haven’t seen addressed anywhere yet, and was hoping someone from this Q&A forum might have an answer.
Prop 19 for the most part repeals Prop 58, which allowed parents to transfer a house to their children, without the house being reassessed... Read more »
Congratulation, you sound like a tax pro and seek speculation on I believe a proposed new law. That may be tough one. Good luck. Zaher Fallahi, Esq, CPA (CA &D.C.).

The Company suffers a 100K loss and my share means 60k loss is past to me... would I be affecting my personal AGI by 20k or 60k? If I had 50k actual income would my AGI tax liability be zero 0 or would it be 30k??? Thank you for this service and your input.
You should consult a tax attorney to advise you on the LLC being taxed as an S corporation with the LLC terms and potential legal peril of an S Corp having two types of stock. Generally, your loss is limited to your basis. I hope this helps. Good luck. Zaher Fallahi, Esq, CPA (CA &D.C.).... Read more »
The property manager is trying to throw us out in 10 days by q constable when we called the judges office we were told we could appeal it is that right or no
Check your court paperwork, and if the judge's office told you that you were able to, you should certainly take advantage of that option. Without more information, it is difficult to speak to your specific situation, but at least in general there is a CDC issued stay on evictions for... Read more »
The owner of the property. The taxes will be paid at the closing.
In 2015 my wife and I moved to Dallas from our primary residence in Austin for a new job opportunity. We rented the house out until 2019 when we then sold it. According to IRS publication 523 if you take a job over 50 miles from your primary residence, you should be eligible for some capital gains... Read more »
Your CPA is probably correct (at least in part). It depends on how long you used it as a rental property. I published a article in the Tax Adviser on this code section (section 121).

We are in Michigan. Everything was sold and put into "Estate of" bank account. When this is closed, which is in next couple weeks, do we pay taxes on the money... Read more »
Probably not, but without a FULL understanding of things it is impossible to say FOR SURE.
There may be an estate tax return required, or maybe not,
There may be capital gains taxes due, or maybe not.
It is unlikely that YOU will be charged taxes, but if things 'pass... Read more »
We recently discovered that a mobile home sits on the back corner of our property we found out the owner died owing a mortgage her family informed me that they knew it was on my property due to the survey being done incorrectly but never informed us of the error can the mortgage company be held...

There is too much missing information to answer your question. You should schedule a personal consultation with an attorney to review the entire situation.
For example, a mobile home is generally considered personal property. In that case, there is nothing to prevent a lender from taking... Read more »
My dad owns his house in Cupertino, it was reappraised after my mom passed a little over a year ago for 2.5 million. If he were to sell it today for say 3.0 million, would he need to pay Capital Gains? I was under the impression, that from the 2.5 appraisal and 250K exclusion for my dad and 250k... Read more »
Tax questions are very complex and a public forum such as this is not the place to find an answer to rely on. You need to take all the information and documents to a tax attorney or tax accountant for an opinion. There is also something called a 1031 exchange, which you can transfer the excess... Read more »
My father owns a house outright in California. I am the only child, and the house is in trust to be inherited down to me. My mother passed 2 years ago. If I in turn sell the house after my dad passes, do I get hit with capital gains tax?
When your mother passed two years ago, the property received a "step-up" in basis to market value at that time. When your father dies, the property will get a second step-up in basis to the then market value. This assumes the property was community property and that the trust did not... Read more »
My dad is 83 owns a house outright here in california. My mother passed 2 years ago. The house is in trust to me (only son) if he were to pass. If he does pass, and the house is inherited by me, and I sell it after that, do I get hit with capital gains tax?
When your dad passes, the basis is stepped up to then current market value. If there is no increase in value by the time you sell it, there will be no capital gains tax exposure.
1) Will there be tax liability if I gift the house to GF? Tax liability for either GF or me?
2) Is it possible to gift part of the house annually? For example 10% first year, 20% second year and so on and 5 years later, she owns the complete house?
At the present time the gift tax exemption is more than $11 million per person. You could gift your entire share to her all at once and not incur any gift tax as long as that gift plus prior gifts made by you in the past do not exceed $11 million in the aggregate.
I am in California

They were married at the time of his death. Also, the corporation was dissolved while he was alive.
Although I would need the exact relevant dates to be able to answer confidently, I will say--generally--that unless your mom had some real ownership in your dad's old company she is not PERSONALLY liable for the unemployment taxes owed to the state.
Whether your dad dissolved his... Read more »

The rule is that a judgment is valid for a period of 20 years. However, a judgment creditor may apply to the court to have the judgment extended for an additional 20 year period.

If a visa of any type is involved, you may want to additionally repost in the Immigration Law section - it's possible the insight of an immigration attorney could be valuable, and possibly more relevant than the other categories, depending on circumstances. Good luck

Speak to the county and see if they are willing to set up a payment plan. If foreclosure proceedings have begun, it is likely too late for you to do anything.
We were married for 20 years and now divorced for 3yrs.

If neither of you filed for the years in question and the IRS filed for you then you can file married filing separately. This may result in you being able to get back some money if you would have been entitled to a refund. If a joint return was filed then you will likely need professional... Read more »
