Vehicle use

I work for a utility company. I used to drive a company provided vehicle, but it is no longer available to me. I am considering buying a vehicle for company use, I’d say it would be 90% used for work. I can claim mileage and be reimbursed thru the company. Are there any other advantages/options to lessen my out of pocket cost?

2nd income taxes

Hello, I started working a second job with Uber Eats and Door Dash in May of this year. I know that I have to pay taxes on my earnings since these companies do not do it for you. I am a little confused as to how to exactly do it. Does my primary job income affect it? Do I get any deductions for mileage or gas? I think I may need some assistance.

1099-DIV

My husband died 3 1/2 years ago. I got a 1099-DIV for 2022 with my husband name and SSN on it stating he received a distribution of $1,789. I never received any money. We have not had a joint account for a little over 3 years. I never did have a retirement account. Do I need to claim the distribution on my Federal return? If so, what line on the 1040-SR?

Starting a new business in another State

We own a fence company in Massachusetts its an S-corp. We are residents of Massachusetts but go to Florida for the winters. We want to do subcontracting work for other fence companies when we are in Florida. We will need to buy a truck, trailer and tools down there. Which of the following should we do: 1) Register our existing company as an out of state business in Florida and put our pay as subcontractors through our existing company? If we do this do we just set up an income category as subcontracting income? 2) Just do 1099's in our personal names and just be sole proprietors and file a Schedule C. 3) Register a new S-Corp in Florida? Or do you gave another suggestion? Any tax or other implications we should be aware of for any of the above options? Thanks so much. Mary Hughes
