Capital Gains Tax (CGT)

Good morning, I have miscalculated my Capital Gains Tax (CGT) and applied the' more than 12 months holding' not the 'up to 12 months holding'. As such, my tax bill will become 2x what i had provisioned for. Come tax time when i submit my tax return i was curious what the consequences will be? is there a way to pay half (the amount i had provisioned for) then go on a payment plan? Thanks Ed

1. married filed joint 2022, I’m 65 spouse is 68. 2. spouse receives SSI of 26,000.00/yr. I do not receive any payments from SSI or pension. 3. I used ACA for January-April 2023 then turned 65 in April and enrolled into Medicare 4. Inheritance received in June 2023 in the amount of 49,000.00. 2023 AGI est is 86,000.00 5 That causes a repayment of $2440.00 from ACA. Is there a way to show a schedule that says since inheritance was rec’d after enrollment into Medicare – the credit that was applied in the first 4 months should not have been removed?

Taxes related to 2023 - foreign-owned corporation

Hello, I would like to know if you provide services to assist with tax declaration related to 2023. My LLC is considered a foreign-owned corporation because I am not a US citizen. If I understand well, I need to file a 5472 + 1120 Proforma (Foreign ownership of a US company) - is that correct? I will be kindly waiting for your reply. Thanks.

Deductions and Write-Offs

Old expenses

I just officially filed paperwork as an llc (beginningof year). I primarily resale clothing and have old inventory from purchases made many years ago (may or may not have intended to sell at the time). I am wondering if it's worth it to list them for sale or deduct as a loss. Many items are older purchases that I likely do not have receipts or statements anymore. - Can I still sell them and if so, and do not have the receipt and or debit/credit card statement, how do I expense them? And should I expect to get taxed for the net amount of the sale at today's cost? - Is there a way to calculate amortization for items more than a year old (with or without the receipts)? - What is the impact of writing them off as a loss if I choose to not sell and do not have the receipts/statements? Thank you.

Deductions and Write-Offs

requirements for hiring my child via sole prop

My single member LLC does not run a payroll system. My 15 yr old child was hired with clear job description, time sheets and over the span of 2023, he was paid from LLC’s bank account directly to his personal bank account. He earned less than the standard deduction amount. He did not get a w-2 nor a 1099. Is it ok for the LLC (single member is parent) to direct deposit to child’s bank account without a payroll system? Additionally, can I show the child wages deduction on my tax return as “outside services” on schedule C without having filed a w2 or 1099?
