Best way to contribute to scholarship fund as an S Corp

My family established a memorial scholarship through a local community college foundation. Should we replenish the fund from our S Corp or do an owner distribution and fund it personally? We don't itemize personal taxes.

Sale of a 1031 LIke-kind exchange

Asked onThursday, March 09, 2023 by Geraldine

We bought a lot back in 2004, strictly using the guidelines set out by 1031 rules. I contacted the agency who filed our taxes, they no longer have records. Sadly, neither do we have any records, I can give approximate dates and the initial cost but no documentation. I am using Turbo Tax but I can not answer exactly. How should we proceed? We received a 1099S for this sale from the title company who did the closing.

Can I file with a business?

Asked onThursday, March 09, 2023 by Khadijah

My sister and I own a business(an LLC). Technically the business is in my name, but all the accounts are in hers. We haven't paid ourselves so there's no payroll. In my mind no payroll means no income for us. Can I file taxes for my business and still do it for myself? (we do the taxes quarterly)

Tax Filing Tips

December Incorporation; No Shareholder Compensation until January

Asked onWednesday, March 08, 2023 by Luis

I incorporated my LLC and elected it to be taxed as an S-corp on December 16, 2022. I'm the only shareholder and employee of the company. The company didn't make any revenue or start paying me until January 2023, after I set up a business bank account and started generating revenue. How do I properly report this to avoid issues with not paying myself a reasonable wage as a shareholder/officer?

Personal Taxes

1/16 of step-grandmothers home inherited. Are taxes owed?

Asked onWednesday, March 08, 2023 by John

(Louisiana) My grandfather dies in 79 and left house to wife (step-grandmother), Son (uncle) and my father. She died in 2015 and uncle held succession until 2022. Uncle offered buyout of my 1/16. That 1/16 came to $10,000, less costs and atty fees. Ended up net at approximately $9300. Attorney sent 1099-S for $10K. It shows "Proceeds From Real Estate Transactions". I am 66, retired AND disabled. Haven't had to file in years. Now I have this confusion to deal with. My SSDI is unearned income and not reported. I have no clue on where to go on this one. Any info would be appreciated. Thank you.
