Avoid Paying Estimated Taxes?
If I have never filed for taxes and I’m a us citizen would I be required to pay estimated taxes or avoid it till next year. In addition, would I be then able to reinvest my capital gains while avoiding paying estimated taxes.

If someone gifts me a downpayment, do they owe taxes on that gift?
I read that the annual cap is 15,000, but the lifetime exclusion is in the millions. What does this mean, in practice? If my mother gives me $300k for a downpayment, does she have to give up a massive percentage of that money? Or, because $300k is safely under $11M or whatever, is she in the clear as long as she declares is?

fidelity bond increased by 300% in my union
I belong to a union with 15k members. Every year we must file a LM2 with the DOL. After the end of our fiscal year 12-31 we have a CPA audit our books and the results are used to file the LM2. However in 2020 our usual CPA did his audit in June 2020 and another CPA did the end of fiscal year audit. The really interesting think is that our fidelity bond has been set at $500,000 for the last 5 year but in 2020 it was increased to $2,000,000. Of course I have requested access to the books but that will be a fight that will be long and protracted. Anyone have any idea what would cause the increase in the fidelity bond? Thanks

PPP Loan
Hi. I have received funding for my PPP loan into my existing business account. I would like to use that money as owner's compensation share to pay myself. Should I transfer the money directly into my personal checking or should I create a separate account for the PPP loan first and then pay myself?

Equipment Expenses (GPU Cards)
I am considered a "crypto currency miner hobbyist". I am interested in growing operations and believe forming an LLC to expense equipment makes better financial sense. However, I am not a tax professional. I would like to confirm that before making additional investments that I could write off computer equipment (specifically computers and graphics cards) can be written off as a business expense.

S Corporation
I am an UberBlack driver. Uber requires all UberBlack drivers to register a corporation. I couldn't afford to hire an expert. So I registered an S Corporation without knowing the differences betweenS Corporation, C corporation, and LLC. When I filed my taxes, I just paid myself with 1099. I keep getting conflicting advice that I should pay myself with W2. My net income after expenses is only $22k. Am I in trouble? if so, How could I fix it? Thank you

Meal Deductions
I just met with a new tax professional and was told that every meal I ate out should be deductible because I would have taken a work call or text or email during the meal so it is a working meal. Is that correct?

State Tax Implications for a C Corp Holding Company
We are in process of forming a Holding Co in FLORIDA using a C Corp status. We will have 2 subsidiary operating companies under the Parent co. We want to make sure we understand what we can be taxed on with the Holding Co. We understand the subsidiaries will stand on their own for taxes, incomes, etc. So, in other words, the Parent Co will not be operating anything at all. But, if we move monies earned via the subsidiaries to the Holding Co., is Holding Co going to be taxed on that? We won't have actual assets, or any real property. We are in sales (with no inventory).
