before the gold is paid for, we need to pay some right to sell tax. It’s a document that’s supposed to have the judge’s signature on it. It’is $45000
is this true or a lie
If you're buying gold, and someone is telling you that you have to pay for a document signed by a judge to purchase it, it's a scam. Buy from someone reputable, and preferably local.

The income tax code is not tied into voting. Think of childhood stars who had very large income (Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Shirley Temple, etc.) They all paid tax on their income even if they could not vote.

No! You are living and working in the U. S. in violation of your F-1 student status. There can be remedies to this mistake, but you need an appointment with a competent and experienced immigration attorney, who can take the time to provide legal advice.

If I donate to a 501(c)(3) silent auction one of my seminar's, what are the tax implications?
1) If I price the seminar at $500 and the winning bid is $600, then does the winner claim a $100 donation to the charity?
2) And do I claim a $500 donation to the charity in that case/... Read more »
Services are not an eligible deduction for the charitable contribution deduction. You would have to contribute cash or property.
If the winning bid is greater than the value of the item bid on, that person may receive a charitable deduction for the extra piece, BUT there are many many... Read more »
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 were married for 20 years and now divorced for 3yrs.
I was a stay at home mom the entire time and my (ex)husband worked in IT- most of his work was contract so when we received his tax forms, they were 1099. Most times he pushed off the taxes to me to file (I had us go to HRBlock) but... Read more »
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 »

A quit claim deed does not transfer title.

She had 3 kids of her own that she has no right to that live with her mom. Also she spends 98% of time with my child
Probably yes but it depends on what your custody order says. There may be a "no shack up" clause that prevents overnight visits when your ex has not remarried.
If the new girlfriend is a danger to the child, you likely have grounds for a modification.
I have a friend whom helped pay for my car. He paid the last 1000 or so.
I brought him cash, he says no cash. I bring him card, says cash only.
This has happened twice each. Is there required form of legal tender that he can't decline.
There is no federal statute mandating that a private business, a person, or an organization must accept currency or coins as payment for goods or services. Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether to accept cash unless there is a state law that says otherwise. Texas does... Read more »
Say the furniture once in the home in Ark. has to be repaired by Tx. Store. Which sales tax is applied?
You would pay the sales tax to the State of Texas. There are a lot of complex rules with online sales, but it typically depends on the level of sales that store/person has in the state on whether the State of Ark. can also collect sales tax.
I had a company send me a w-2 for 2019. I never worked for them that year. I did work for them the year before. The w-2 said I was paid just under $900.00. I never got any money. I think the boss used my info to get the money for himself.
You really should be asking a Tax Law attorney or at least a CPA. This isn't my area of practice so I can't give you a legal answer. However, as a fellow taxpayer, it is my understanding that it is better to reach out to the IRS than to put your head in the sand so you might consider... Read more »
Any other legal advice about starting an online smoke shop
Based on what you have stated, you are probably a sole proprietorship.
There is a traffic light
1. Not sure why this is tagged as a tax question.
2. Yes, you still signal the turn.
I believe affidavit turned into be filled for records is different than the one the judge signed and kept for his records
If you mean affidavits of probable cause upon which is the basis to issue an arrest warrant or search warrant, in Texas the Judge is supposed to keep those or file them in a place that they are publicly available since they are matters of public record.
His siblings are his only next of kin and they all live in different states outside of Minnesota. What will be the most efficient, cost effective way for them to tackle his estate? Please advise.
Thanks.
The estate must be probated in Minnesota. What is the most cost effective way to do this depends on what he left.
We did not sign an agreement. The CPA did not mention any fees until after we got the loan & he sent an invoice for $9,000!
Did you sign an agreement for that fee?
Gather what records you have, order IRS (and state if applicable) transcripts, draft returns and file. If you owe you'll need to work out a resolution, pay, installment agreement, offer in compromise, etc...
For that amount of returns I would suggest hiring a professional. They usually... Read more »
My wife and I are Mexican citizens living in Mexico.

The children under 16, no. The 21 year old, maybe. If he or she has a social security number (SSN), but has never filed any taxes, then he or she must fill out the non-filer form: https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/economic-impact-payments
I am in Louisiana. My case is going into its final appeal because they made the decision before they saw any of my evidence that I faxed. My boss not only paid in $1,400 to an employee that was fired, which was part of my quarterly income, but then he skipped a quarter of my income. Then he paid me... Read more »
Most if not all states keep very close tabs on employers who "skip" paying payroll taxes; so the agency you are dealing with is now aware that your employer has violated state and federal laws, thus causing you (and other employees?) to be denied unemployment benefits. Because you... Read more »
