How much should we save back for the capital gains tax on an inherited property?

Asked onWednesday, May 17, 2023 by Michael

My brother and I were just released from probate in April 2023. We are now in the process of selling our parents' home and have an offer for $78,500. The county last appraised the property at $43,400. We have a few questions regarding the capital gains tax for inherited property. 1) How much money should we save back to cover the capital gains tax? 2) WIll we each be taxed for the amount we receive individually (i.e. half of the sale) or for the entirety of the amount? 3) If one of us received the entirety of the check and then disbursed the funds to the other, would the one who received the check be responsible for all of the capital gains tax at that point? Thank you for your time and help.

Home Ownership

Selling my fathers home

Asked onTuesday, May 16, 2023 by Holly

I have questions on how I can sell my fathers home so he doesn't have to show the proceeds as liquid funds? The reason for this is my father has recently become too ill to care for himself and will most likely need long term care for the rest of his life. We need to use his Med-Cal for this and don't want them to deplete the only funds he has. What type of trust would shelter these funds and how can we sell the property out of that trust?

current portion of long-term debt

Asked onTuesday, May 16, 2023 by Greg

Hi and thanks for being available. I'm an accountant at a mid-sized company. We have a 5-year loan. Let's say the monthly installments are $10,000 each month. The loan just begun, so we state the Current Portion as $120,000. This was for the March financial stmts. However, mgmt decided to make a larger payment on 4/5 of $25,000. Since we know this while preparing the March financials, should we up the Current Portion to $135,000?
