Paperwork details

I have a question about a business that I had that had some paperwork filed for it but then it had to be shut down and so all of the paperwork wasn't filed. Do I still need complete the filing if paperwork like the AoO or an OA haven't been filed yet?

IRA Question

Hi, I am hoping someone can help me. I inherited an IRA from my Mom many years ago. I put the money into 2 CGM mutual funds. Late last year, I received notice from CGM that they were going out of business and that I needed to liquidate my funds. I met with Fidelity with the purpose of transferring the funds to them into a new IRA account. Fidelity sent the paperwork to CGM and requested that they send them the money. Instead, CGM sent me a check which I immediately sent to Fidelity. I just got a 1099 from CGM which showed that they actually withheld federal tax which of course I did not want them to do. When I called them, they claimed that Fidelity did not send them all of the needed paperwork so they did not process this as a transfer and because the funds are closed, they cannot correct the problem. So what the heck do I do? It's past the 60 days. I am using TurboTax Deluxe to do my taxes? Is there a fix so that the total amount of the check sent to me + the withheld tax count as an IRA transfer? Please help and I am confused as hell. I thank you for your help.

Travel Nurse w/ company now going to staff at a Hospital

Hi I have my own travel nurse company and in the past have been getting paid a 1099 from hospitals I did travel nurse contracts with. I recently just go hired for a full time position at hospital and they are unwilling to offer me a 1099 (even though I have a business travel agency license and all liability insurances). What can I do to pay myself as a company for tax benefits vs claiming a W2? My company technically outsourced myself to a permanent position. Thank you!
