Asked Friday, September 19, 2025 by Jacline

Hi there, I started a new job and I received almost a full check and I noticed no federal taxes were taken out. I file the same way as I always have, married/filing jointly, 1 dependent at the $2000 and submit. My last position took taxes out and this job has not.

Late Filing of Form 2553 and Payroll Tax Return Concerns

Asked Friday, September 12, 2025 by Wendy

I’m in the process of filing a late Form 2553, and as you know, the effective date must be retroactive to the beginning of the year. My main concern is how to handle the payroll tax returns, specifically Forms 941 and RT-6, since no wages have been paid and all returns would reflect zero liability. My question is: how would you recommend handling the 941s and RT-6 filings in this case to avoid penalties for the quarters that were missed, considering there was no payroll activity?

Quick Answer:

Since you're filing a late Form 2553 seeking retroactive S corporation election, you must file all required payroll tax returns, even if they show zero liability. File amended Forms 941 and RT-6 for...

Gift tax on donor and receiver

Asked Friday, August 29, 2025 by Tianxue

If a donor writes me a $900,000 check and I deposit it into my personal bank account, do neither of us need to pay taxes? Does only the donor need to file a Form 709 with the IRS because the amount is below the $13.99 million lifetime exemption, so it won’t trigger any tax for the donor? Also, since this money is not considered income for the recipient, does that mean the receiver doesn’t need to report or pay taxes on it? Additionally, for a gift of this nature, is it better to have written doc

Quick Answer:

No. Both the donor and recipient may have tax implications. The donor may need to file a Form 709, Gift Tax Return, if the total gifts in a year exceed the annual gift tax exclusion (currently $17,0...
