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.

Investment to Primary

Asked onThursday, January 11, 2024 by John

Hello, I currently own my primary residence in Texas but we are planning to move to California in June. We are planning to buy the home in California before we move there by using an investment mortgage and then sell our home in Texas before moving there in June. Once we move to the California property we will probably want to refinance it as a primary residence. What are the tax implications that I may run into when I file taxes in 2025?
