Tax Forms

Need to file tax forms and close my EIN

Asked onTuesday, January 16, 2024 by Pilar

Hi, We recently dissolved my LLC. We created it in the state of Florida in April 2022. But, we did not have any activity, nor income, with it. Do I need to file taxes? I think I need to file tax form 1065 and close my EIN. Can I get help to do this? Do I need to do anything else to have everything in order with the state? Thanks, Pilar

Credits

2024 Federal Tax Credit for Electric Trucks

Asked onSaturday, January 13, 2024 by Erin Elizabeth

Hello, can you please tell me if an LLC has no net income can they still receive the 2024 tax credit incentive for electric trucks (up to $40,000), effectively receiving money from the government? Our LLC is only owned by my husband and myself. It is a pass-through LLC and presented on our personal tax returns. If net income was made, it would be presented on our personal tax returns. Can this credit be taken and reduce/increase our total personal tax return? Thank you!

Adult child moved in and defining "Household Income" FPL?

Asked onThursday, January 11, 2024 by Jon

I have a question about program eligibility such as Medi-Cal/Medicaid. We live in a house, owned by my Mother, who receives SSI, a small monthly 401k check, and no other income. I do not include her as a dependent nor does she include me as a dependent on either of our taxes. Is she eligible for such programs? Or does my income, as a high earner >150k a year, disqualify her.
