HOA fees and room rental
My brother has moved in with me and pays$400 rent for a room in my house he also performs 75% the cooking and cleaning within the house, also he pays electric bill 100, cable bill 85 and this is how we reach fair market value for rent. Which is $967 for a studio in my area per fed housing website. I have never claimed him on my taxes and he's been renting from me since 2021 which when I bought my condo. Should I go back and refile my taxes so that that he is showing on my taxes. Also if I do that I currently live in a condominium are my HOA fees deductible if I do this these in water, garbage, heat, ac, etc.. We also recently had a special assessment that was the help replaced our balconies, roofs, garages concrete repairs, electrical box in my unit, and things in that nature is a portion of this special assessment deductible.

Can I avoid double taxation in my situation?
Already paid inheritance tax on $60,000. Invested it in annuity, and want to withdrawal. Will I be taxed on the original $60,000 again as additional income the year of withdrawal? Is there a way around that, as I will already owe an early withdrawal penalty also?

Real estate transaction with in a trust
My folks, who have now both passed on now, have two properties put in a Trust. The Trust was filed by my parents in Florida. My brother and I are both equally 50/50 trustees. My brother wants to buy me out of one of the Florida properties which I'm Ok with since he needs a house. Am I subject to capital gains tax on this buyout ? What does transaction process look like ? Does my brother deposit funds into the trust account and then the trust pays me out ? Can the funds directly be deposited from his account to mine ? What tax liabilities am I responsible for if any ? Best Regards Mike

Form 2553-Election by a Small Business Corporation
I hired a WY registered agent company to form my corporation and they are asking me to complete form 2553. I want the company to be qualified as a woman owned business and I listed my wife as president and myself as treasurer and secretary. Specifically, column L of the form is asking me to list the "number of shares or percentage of ownership" and I'm not sure what to put there. Would I list her as having more shares than me since I want the business to qualify as woman owned? Next, column M is asking for a social security number or EIN of each shareholder. Since the company does have an EIN, would I use that for each of us, or do I need to use our SSN's? If we use our SSN's, how does this affect the anonymity we are trying to accomplish by forming a corporation in the first place? Thank you, Lance
