Continuous adverse possession has not occurred since you left the property for 5 years. Hopefully you have paid taxes on it for several years. Transferring title by adverse possession is usually a defense to ejectment, not a suit for you to file as plaintiff. Right now you do not have color of... View More
I have not seen the house announced in the paper for auction, nor is it posted anywhere. It was turned over to the state within the last two months or less. Is there an alternate route to taking ownership?

I have a salary of $88k before taxes and insurance. Therefore cannot afford the 5 year repayment plan they have offered thus far. Also have a current garnishment from the business on my paycheck currently of 25% or $750 per check. What is the max TN could collect per check?

You can submit an offer in compromise application with Tennessee Department of Revenue. Offer in compromise allows a settlement on your tax debt, if you can show your expenses are more than your income. You may be able to save alot of money in taxes. I hope this information helps you.

I live and would operate in Mississippi. I have not started selling yet. I just wanted to know in advance. If I am exempt from MS sales tax, are there any forms that I have to fill out? Thanks,

Yes, Mississippi requires that you collect sales tax on digital sales, and apply for a sales tax permit from the Department of Revenue.
The state lost my returns in 2008 and now won’t except a refile. I went out of business in 2010 and filed for bankruptcy on business and personal.

There is no limitation on the time that Mississippi can collect sales taxes from you.
answered on Apr 16, 2022
Dependent upon the circumstances, the State of Mississippi has no such statute of limitations, and the amount of tax due may be determined, assessed and collected and suit or proceedings for the collection of the tax may be begun at any time after it becomes due.

man has also passed leaving a wife. Her name is not on the warranty deed but she has agreed to sign property over to me. How can this be done easily? Also there is a lien in my father's name against property.
answered on Nov 17, 2020
Well it can be done but probably not easily. The wife is actually making a gift to you since it is her property to deal with as she wishes. A deed would transfer the property back to you and there would have to be a release of the lien. You should get with a real estate attorney who can... View More

Unfortunately, as a girlfriend, you would likely not be entitled to any portion of his estate, because you are not considered a legal heir.

We have come from other states that do have exemptions for churches on sales tax and It just seems odd that Mississippi would not as well
answered on Sep 25, 2019
No, Mississippi does not exempt religious organizations from sales tax. However, churches may be exempt on the purchase of utilities if they qualify for a federal income tax exemption under 26 USCS Section 501(c)(3) if the utilities are used on a property that is primarily used for religions or...

My husband refused to give me any of the money. Is there anything I can do legally? He also claimed my 2 children who were in my sole custody.

It sounds like you suspect that your husband has acted fraudulently. This situation is much more common that you might think. Therefore, IRS has organized several methods for you to report the tax return filing, to report the inappropriate claim of dependents, and to clear your good name. You will... View More
