will i owe taxes on sale of personal antique collection?
Hello. We live in Apple Valley, California. We have an antique collection in an auction in England and we think the proceeds may be around $30-$40K. We want to know if we will be taxed on those proceeds or is there a way to avoid being taxed. If not, what percentage will we be taxed? Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Can a laptop be added to an educational expense if bought for college?
What are the restrictions for when trying to put buying a laptop for having in-class at college? Say the laptop was $930, would it even be worth it to put on my tax return? How would this affect my overall return? What would the IRS need if I were to be audited for this in order to prove it? Thanks!

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.
