Car sales tax

Asked onTuesday, May 02, 2023 by George

I am in the 24% tax bracket and live in MA. I bought a new car in 2019 for $23k before fees ($27k total.) I plan to sell my car back to the dealer for $23k. If I get handed a check and deposit it in the bank, will I be taxed for that? If so will it be taxed 24% and could I put it directly in a 5 year CD to avoid taxes right away?

Write Off Total Loss of An Investment

Asked onTuesday, May 02, 2023 by Joshua

Hi, I have an investment in a publicly traded company that I paid $32,000 for that today is worth about $5,000 and is headed to zero. Other than offsetting capital gains, is there a way to deduct this against my income all in one year? I read somewhere that if it goes completely to zero, you can deduct it all in one year, rather than $3,000 a year for a long time. What are my options? Thanks

taxes on reinvested dividends for mutual funds

Asked onMonday, May 01, 2023 by charlie

hypothetical question - I purchased a mutual fund for $10,000, and over time received $1000 in dividends which I've reinvested back into the mutual fund. Over time, the value of the mutual fund is now at $15,000 (NAV increases the value by $4,000, and my reinvested dividends add $1,000 to the value). I now sell the entire thing. Since i already paid taxes on my reinvested dividends, is my tax responsibility only on the $4,000 gain?
