My brother wants to transfer multiple vehicle titles into my name to avoid them being seized for child support payments.
As the owner of the vehicle, you are generally liable for the actions of persons you permit or allow to use the vehicle. You do not want your brother's legal and financial problems to become your legal and financial problems. Steve Dashiak's answer is spot on. There's an old... Read more »
The Casino told me I need to have a Power of Attorney but I was told by someone else that Power of Attorney's are only for the living. Will an Affidavit of a Small Estate work? If so, does it need to be filed with the court or just signed in front of a Notary? She, my mother, passed suddenly... Read more »
If you opened probate and had "Letters Testamentary" the casino would likely honor that, but that is a hassle if there's no need to open probate. You may be able to obtain a "Wage and Income Transcript" from the IRS, which shows reported W2s, but it will take some time for... Read more »
My client is a fisherman and owner of a boat/company. He went on a temporary medical leave and transferred the name on his business permit to a long term employee. The employee subsequently filed an application for the seafood trade relief program. He obtained a near $18,000 check from the USDA,... Read more »
I'm sorry your question remains open for three weeks. At this point, you could reach out to tax attorneys in Washington State. There's a link above (Find-a-Lawyer), or you could search online on your own. Maritime attorneys aren't likely to know about the issues you raise - a tax... Read more »
My position is being eliminated. I'm taking severance pay. Want to get it as pay not a gift with huge taxes taken. Can that be done?
This seems strange. In a business context and where services are involved, it seems unlikely that any payment can be considered a gift. This sounds like taxable income to me. Regardless of how the employer treats it, you still have the responsibility to report all of your taxable income and if... Read more »
I have registered a WA state LLC just recently, and will be working with 1 other colleague. I have also obtained a federal tax ID.
However, we won't be making any money for a while. Is it necessary to get a state tax id if we will not have any gross income? I know washington has a... Read more »

I've just found out that my family wont get a stimulus check because we filed 2019 joint tax return last month using my ITIN number (I was a non-resident at the time but still... Read more »
You should consult with a CPA or a licensed tax accountant to assist you in amending your tax return. Hopefully, the amendment can put you in position for a stimulus check.
Good luck to you.
He has always handled taxes in past and I just found this out. Is this illegal? What could the ramifications be for me as a spouse? If I file separately, can I avoid being responsible for his decision? Legal seperation is in the works for marriage
If you have or will file any joint tax returns with him you are both separately and jointly liable for any taxes due whether they are due when the return is filed or as the result of an audit. If you file separately you will not be liable for any of his tax debt for the years you have filed... Read more »
A couple days ago my husband was arrested and will most likely be doing prison time.
We are separated (not legally) and filed married filing jointly for 2019.
When the 1200 for him comes with the stimulus check, am I legally entitled to keeping it?
The reason I ask this... Read more »
This is not a legal question. This is a serious family control question--the answer to which will be answered by the two people affected: you and your husband.
I will ask you a question to give you a large hint as to the answer: If your husband was awarded the Medal of Honor for bravery... Read more »
At this time. I was due a refund and was wondering if I am still eligible for it? I read somewhere that exceptions were made for such impairments. I haven't worked since till this year when I did file and will it effect this or the 1200 stimulus check I may receive?
Sorry, but you are way too late to try to catch that gravy train--which left the station over 12 years ago. But who knows? If you did file a tax return for 2018 you might luck out and receive $1,200.
in 2005 we (My wife and I) bought a house and lived in it from 2005 till 2008 just after I went into the Army. We were outside the driving area for the base I was stationed at. We turned the property in to a rental and it remained a rental till we sold it in 2018. We used the tax exclusion for... Read more »
There is an ability for military personal to suspend the personal residence exemption but you have to be deployed during the suspension period. There's nothing in your question that makes me think it would apply, but I don't have all the facts.
It's probably not going to... Read more »
On my husbands child support documents it states that in order for him to be able to claim his daughter (with his ex-wife) on his taxes “as long as he is current on his child support obligation.

Without seeing the document I tend to agree with your interpretation, however, there may be something else within the document that could change my answer. That being said, your husband should call the attorney that handled his divorce to double check. If they are unavailable, he should call the... Read more »
It would depend on what the basis of the lawsuit was, but an attorney in each of the categories you list could probably advise you on the downside of working off the books. Maybe one of the most pressing issues is workers' comp coverage for an on-the-job injury. Good luck

In order for an avalone Tax to occur you must have situs. Private homes are not taxable. You cannot tax a right. We have the right to property.
Your premise that private homes are not taxable is false.
What is an avalone tax?
Also, you didn't actually ask a question.
Also, also, if you're trying to avoid a tax by arguing definitions and rights you're going to have a bad time.
I would suggest... Read more »
I'll take the houses in my state and he'll take the one in his. I'll pay him the difference to equalize the values. Can we just sign quit claim deeds and are there any tax consequences? The houses have all been appraised and we agree on these terms.
If either of you enters into this planned transaction without benefit any lawyer's advice, IMPO one or both of you will probably not like the result.
Should your w2 info match info on your last pay stub
Many companies use two separate programs when creating paychecks and W-2 forms; and this is especially true in companies that use third party payroll companies and third party CPAs to prepare 1099s and W-2s. In most cases the difference is too tiny to be concerned about. When choosing which one to... Read more »

I left my Raleigh NC job at the very end of 2017. In 2018 I didn't work any hours for my NC job nor was I a resident. I moved to WA state where there is no state income tax and I work at a full time job in Richland WA. If I didn't live in NC or work in NC....and a NC company sent me a... Read more »
The bonus that you received was in relation to work that was performed in NC, therefore, NC can tax you in relation to that income. If the income was produced or "earned" in that state's jurisdiction, that state has the right to tax that income. The other way that a state would be... Read more »

When you are a US resident for tax purposes, all of your worldwide income is taxed in the US, regardless of where the proceeds are deposited. This means that, in addition to being taxed on your virtual currency transactions, you would also be subject to tax on the earnings in any Indian bank... Read more »
I need to file an amended tax return for 2015. I have to change my filling status from single to married filing jointly. My wife was not a US resident in 2015, so I filed as single.

If you were married to your wife at the end of 2015 (regardless of whether she was US resident at the time), you can file for a Married Filing Joint status. However, by her consenting to filing jointly with you she is agreeing to be treated as a US Tax Resident for many tax purposes. This means... Read more »

It sounds like you would be classified as a Sole Proprietor for purposes of your tax filings. This means that your personal income tax return will include a Schedule C where you will declare your income from dancing and any deductible expenses associated with producing this income.
