How does it work?
does the $2500 per invoice limit for the 'de minis safe harbor' include sales tax?
I want to purchase a new computer for my business, price excl. sales tax $2499; the invoice total incl. sales tax is $2778. Can I deduct this computer under the $2500 "de minimis safe harbor" arrangement? The computer is for 100% business use.

Need a lawyer or CPA to get sibs to sell Mom's house to me for 5% off?
Do you agree there should be a price reduction of about 5% or more for Mom's house if I buy it within the family? If so, would you advocate for me, and how? Mom’s CPA wrote this: “In working with trusts in the past, when all the beneficiaries agree on a fair market value for real estate and the plan is to sell on the open market using a realtor and then one of the beneficiaries agrees to pay the fair market value for the property, there is usually a reduction in the price for the estimated closing costs which can be approximated at 5%.” My sister Carey disagrees with a reduction. She wrote: “I am in agreement with Peter that we should all benefit equally from the sale of the house, and that no one should be favored at the expense of another. I initially thought it might be equal if we would each get 1/3 of the realty fees savings. It seems that is not the case. After Peter sent his email, I started with his numbers and put them in a spreadsheet, and then extrapolated to see where the benefit would be equal to all. Please see my attached spreadsheet.” My sibs always say it should all be "equal." Carey's spreadsheet simply divides the sales price in thirds. I don't think this is equal. If simply split in three, ONLY Carey and Peter would benefit; I'd pay the same as any other buyer and would receive no benefit. If they sold it to an outside buyer, they'd receive 5% less. How to handle this? Looking for a CPA, and tax, estate, and financial advice (no asset mgmt.)

Injured or Innocent Spouse Form?
I have been separated from my spouse for 10 years and am currently in the process of getting a divorce. During discovery my ex disclosed that he owes 70,000 in taxes with letters from the IRS stating they plan to seize property due to his ignoring their attempts to collect payments for taxes from 2013-2019. I have been filing my taxes as Head of Household. Should I file an Injured Spouse Form to protect myself from being associated with his debt?

Tax on Spousal buyout of home equity i
My wife and I will be filing for divorce and are trying to settle out of court. She’s agreed to buy me out of my share of the equity in the home. She cannot pay me a lump sum and can only do installments. Will I have to owe any taxes if I receive installment payments from my soon to be ex? The same question for a lump sum payment.
