Avoiding Taxes on Qualified Dividends
I am expecting to receive a multimillion dollar Qualified Dividend in a couple of months from a Private Corporation. My projected Taxable Income for 2023 without Interest Income earned from the Qualified Dividend is projected to be under the minimum threshold of $41,625 that would exempt me from any tax liability on Qualified Dividends. If I am able to defer Interest payments on Qualified Dividend until 2024 am I safe to say that I will have Zero Tax Liability with regards to the Qualified Dividend?

2014 Refund
I filed a tax return back in 2014 or 2015 online through turbo tax and i was supposed to get $4,200 and since it was my first time filing they wanted me to verify my identity and all i had to do was an identification verification but at the time i was just never able to go to the IRS building and do so but i was wondering would i still be able to receive that refund some how? It has been so long now that i don't remember what information i used when i filed that return but wouldn't it still be on file somewhere or something?

Inherited money
My brother passed away and left me the house. I sold the house at no capital gains. The check is in my bank account. I was told that inheritance is not taxable in Texas. But how do I show the IRS that this money was inherited? Not to be confused with the money that I had in my checking account.

Market discount on t-note that matures next year
If I buy a t-note in 2023 at a market discount (coupon .5% vs. yield to maturity 4.5%) that matures in 2024, how is the market discount reported on my 1099? Is the total discount reported in 2024 upon maturity, or is it amortized with income reported in both 2023 and 2024? Is this interest income or capital gain? I understand the coupon payments are interest income the year I get them.

Question about W4
I’m getting ready to fill out a new W4. I want the least amount of taxes taken out without owing at the end of the year. Step 2. Which do I choose. My wife and I both work so 2 jobs. I make $180,000 a year, she makes $40,000. I read somewhere where since our salaries are far apart it could affect how much taxes is deducted each paycheck of mine. So how do I need to fill out the W4 so I have the bare minimum of taxes taken out without owing any or much at the end of the year?

FATCA
Hello, I am planning to register my business in the USA to accept credit card payments as that is not an option here in the Caribbean. I am a non-resident and I am not a US citizen. I have no issue paying business taxes because the business is registered there, would setting up a limited liability company in the US result in me as an individual having to pay taxes in the US? also would I have to comply with FATCA legislation on the sharing of personal financial information? If these are not requirements then I will proceed with registering. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Best regards, Nicolette
