Tax Filing Tips

1065 and K1 for LLC with no profit , but some start up costs

Asked onMonday, April 17, 2023 by David

Formed a multi member LLC with my two kids that are under the age of 18. I deposited $5000 in a business account under the EIN for the business. The business has had no sales as of yet, but we did create a website and purchased a couple of inexpensive (Sub $300) laptops, and 10 a month cell phone plan. Since there was no income and expenses don't even equal $1000, is it necessary to file a 1065? If so , are the under age members required to receive a K1 and file taxes? Thanks.

Personal income Tax

Asked onMonday, April 17, 2023 by Douglas

Hello I have a question on International tax laws. I do some trading and investing in the markets, and have been trading with a Firm that is over in Hong Kong China, and I am trying to make a withdrawal into my USA Bank account and I was told before I can receive the withdrawal I will have to pay a 2% Personal Income Tax on the withdrawal amount before receiving the withdrawal. I was just informed of this and I do not want to get taxed twice for this as all the trading was done from my PC in my home so I do not understand how they can say I owe them this tax as I asked my CS Rep with this trading firm and I was told that because the firm is in Hong Kong they can charge me this tax so is that correct or not as I do not want to have to pay taxes for a Country that I do not live in so please let me know if I am being scammed on this or if they are right, and what documents should I ask for so when I file my taxes on this in the US next year so I can prove I have already paid taxes on this so I do not have to pay taxes again in the US or at least pay a lesser amount on it since I will have already paid the Hong Kong Govt, this tax.

We have a credit for going Solar that we will claim next year. Is it okay to have no federal taxes taken out the rest of the year since the credit will offset our tax liability for the next 2 years?

Pilots not at their homebase not an airline pilot. Can I write off meals. I was told that you can write off all meals away from home whilst working at the airport.

Asked onSaturday, April 15, 2023 by Hilda

Pilot pilot away from home at the airport. I was told they could write off all meals while working. Is this true? This is not an airline pilot, but there is a little time in between flights so most pilots, I know in my job right off all their meals. Is this correct whilst working at an airport?
