Schedule E - Expenses

Asked onFriday, January 05, 2024 by Gregory

I have one (1) rental property, it's condo. In 2023, I had to purchase a new (built-in) dishwasher, what expense would it fall under ? I don't think repairs, maybe supplies ? I don't know. Also, if the condo HOA had a 'special assessment' for a capital project, where does that expense get reported ? Added to my monthly HOA dues ? Thanks

Tax Implications: Gift of Equity

Asked onThursday, January 04, 2024 by Evan

Hello, I will be buying my mother's home in 2024 and as part of the sale she will be providing a gift of equity of $80,000. I understand there is an Annual Gift exemption of ~$15k (per child & spouse), and also a lifetime exemption of ~$12 million. Given the gift of equity exceeds the lifetime exemption, will my mother be required to pay any taxes on the excess gift over the annual exemption? It is my understanding, that she files a form 709 with the IRS when doing her taxes. The excess amount over her annual limit is subtracted from her lifetime exemption, and she pays no taxes. If she were to exceed her lifetime exemption, then there would be a tax applied. Is this correct? Thank you for your help, Evan

I have been in Poland since April of 2021 except for a three month visit back to California at the end of 2022. I have a temporary residence card, a work permit, and employment in Poland. In California, I have a parents address listed as my own for mailing purposes but I have not been there. With this new job in Poland, what forms do I need to file and will I be double taxed for income I make in Poland? Are there any issues with having a mailing address in California?

Parent subsidiary tax question

Asked onSaturday, December 30, 2023 by Randy

I have an LLC that only does online sales like Amazon and Poshmark. I am about to start a new LLC that does litter pick up for commercial properties . I want to make my current LLC the soul managing member of my new LLC.. My question is can I pay my self directly from the subsidiary? Or do I need to pay the owning LLC first. Then pay me through that? Would the income be double taxed once as income for the subsidiary second as income for the parent company?
