One working spouse received the whole stimulus.
Two children were filed also last year ( BUT now neither spouse has custody).
Who legally should get the money?

In fairness it should likely be split 50/50. That would be marital property subject to equitable distribution in the divorce. You may want to consider consulting with an attorney regarding this issue and the pending divorce. Good luck.
The business is listed as a 2-member LLC. I do not want the other member to be negatively affected by my bankruptcy.

The issue that affects your business partner is whether the bankruptcy trustee will want your interest in the business. That depends on the value of the business versus any exemption that might apply. You need to file your taxes based on what you elected at the time of formation or prior to... Read more »

Not sure of your question. But the only way you will set aside that conveyance is for the Grantees, and now owners, to convey it back to you. I suggest a Life Estate/ Remainder Deed.

You can. As long as it was his primary residence for 2 of the last 5 years the first $250k of gain will be excluded.

No but it helps. There may be other liens, etc. A Fed Tax Lien needs to be released of record, both in the County of recording, and possibly other Counties.

What paperwork do I use?
answered on Dec 12, 2019
I would contact the Trustee or the County Tax Attorney, and ask for the money. They will probably claim the proceeds have already been spoken for. But otherwise you must sue the County for the surplus, and possibly the official that conducted the Sale for breach of fiduciary duty.
answered on Dec 4, 2019
They do that a lot. You absolutely can file a suit. This is a situation where your damages are likely much less than the cost of the suit. You can't claim the tax as damages. Without knowing all the details I can't give you a definite answer.

The IRS doesn't go to court before it records a lien.
When you owe tax a lien exists automatically and the IRS then perfects that lien after a period of non-payment.
To challenge the lien, or to challenge the tax owed, you'll have to go through the appeals process which... Read more »
mortgage and the only lien.
If I pay this lien will I be able to full ownership and can take the property?
Could I ask for the overage back?
Property in in Tennessee, Hamilton county TN.
Thank you,
answered on Oct 14, 2019
It is not a lien but a right of redemption for a certain period. You could wait to see if the mortgagee exercises its right of redemption, which is paying you money. After the period, and the right is not exercised, the property is probably yours. But you need a competent attorney who will... Read more »

Whatever your former employer is doing it is not something that I would ever advise anyone to do. Depending upon what the company does--and knowing what arm of the government is requesting current employment information--it appears the company may be asking for enormous trouble.

Your employer is required to file a copy of your W-2 (and that of all other employees) with the IRS; call the IRS consumer line and asked them either to give you the details over the phone or send you a copy.
A friend has Six days to vacate his property and instead of it going to auction he wanted to see if we were interested. He is only behind $3,800. What do I need to do to buy this home and have it in my name and how long does he have to vacate the property and have no claim to it?
answered on Apr 23, 2019
You need a competent attorney for purchase at any Tax Sale. He needs to perform a Title Search and look at the value, prior to you making a bid at the auction. If it does not look good, walk away.
So let’s say that in 2019 I gift $1,015,000 to my son. This gift is $1,000,000 over the annual gift exclusion. That means I will need to report it to the IRS. However, I won’t immediately have to pay tax on that gift. Instead, the IRS deducts that $1,000,000 from my lifetime gift tax exemption.... Read more »

Assuming it's revocable the gift occurs as if there was no trust. Reduced by $15k for annual exemption and then reduces lifetime exemption of grantor.
If it's irrevocable I'd need more information.
