Asked onTuesday, February 28, 2023 by Nicole

I owned my home for less than two years. I know I’ll have to pay capital gains tax on that profit, but can I still deduct things like home improvements and real estate agent commissions from that profit even though I didn’t own it for two years?

Asked onTuesday, February 28, 2023 by Jeff

I won a $10,000 contest in 2022, but only received a portion of it, $3,250 of it (prizes only, not cash) while still in the year 2022. My question: do I pay taxes on the full $10,000, or only the $3,250, since I didn't receive the full prize value yet? Thank you

Schedule E

Asked onMonday, February 27, 2023 by DANIELLE

Schedule E questions! Hi everyone! I have a condo I bought in 2016 and started renting at the end of 2021. For the depreciation part on the schedule E, is my understanding correct that I would divide by 27.5 based on my building value from the 2016 assessment?( since the assessment is higher now) As an example if my building assessment in 2016 was 44,300 Would this equate to $1610.9 depreciation for 27.5 years? Or am I understanding wrong. Thank you!

Claiming Child on Tax Return

Asked onSunday, February 26, 2023 by Kristyn

My ex in laws both receive SSDI in Florida. My mother in law has a property she rents out in Pennsylvania as extra income. They currently have been taking care of my 9 year old and will collect every bit of money they can. Will they have to file tax returns if SSDI or property is the only income they receive? I would like to claim my child but don’t want to be approved and then they turn around and claim her too.
