Yes, it is possible to discharge them, but there are many, many exceptions and the answer for you could differ from tax-year to tax-year. It is... View More

If your projected income is that high for the first year, spend some money up front and hire an attorney to do the business and tax planning for you. That will save you money and... View More

Never married to child's father. Lives with mother. Father's name on birth certificate. Child support being processed now. No court document or hearing for custody.

This is a tax question that only the IRS can answer. If there is no child support being paid currently ( you say it is "being processed"?) it seems to me that is would be hard for the father to claim the child as I think you have to be able to demonstrate to the IRS that you are providing...

He doesn't file taxes because he has non taxable income ( va benefit). I claim children every year, I have in the past given him the child credit part because he doesn't file. Is he entitled to it? The court papers just state alternate years
answered on Apr 28, 2017
The parenting plan forms refer to the deduction for dependents ( not a tax credit). If the signed divorce papers say he gets to claim the deduction in alternate years, then that is what he gets: the dependency deduction (only).
If the papers do not mention a tax credit, then you will need... View More

your lawyer should be able to answer that. The law of the state where the estate is governs. Also note generally the claims of injury cases are not subject to state or federal taxes, and hopefully your lawyer worked the wongful death/survival claims in a way that gives the best bounce. But you... View More
