Investment and Finance

Step-up after step-up

Asked onSaturday, March 11, 2023 by Terri

My father owned stock. It was given me upon his death in 2013. I am familiar with step-up basis and how it works. At that time, the stock was stepped-up in basis. I have kept this stock in a different account, because the brokerage firm said it cannot be stepped up again when I pass away. According to them, a step-up can only occur once for a stock and my heirs will have already received the step-up benefit from the 2013 step-up. In 2022, I was told this is incorrect and when I die, it can be stepped up again. I tried searching online for clarification, but can find nothing that talks about stepping up a stock that has already been stepped up. So it appears that when I die, this stock can be stepped up again. Would someone be kind enough to clarify this?

1099 or W2 Employees

Asked onSaturday, March 11, 2023 by Malik

Currently in the beginning stages of a start up small business cleaning service. We are currently weighing the options of 1099 or W2 employees. If we went the route of W2 employees, are we bound to provide health insurance to each of the employees with a W2? Also, are we free to be selective on who can receive a 1099 or a W2?

Personal Taxes

Filing of Form 8582

Asked onFriday, March 10, 2023 by Lester

I've been accumulating Passive Activity Losses for the last decade. For the first time this year, I rec'd a gain instead of a loss. I thought, no problem, I have the accumulated losses in my tax records. When I went back to look at previously filed returns, I cannot find any Form 8582 declaring the accumulated losses/carryover each year. Am I in trouble, or will the IRS computer system simply be able to check the loss I've put into the tax software (and thus the filing) each year?
