Hobby Dog Breeding?

I've been told that the 2 litters my two dogs have had this year are considered taxable income. I don't have a business and don't plan on getting multiple sets of dogs to breed. Would I still need to claim the money earned from selling the puppies on my taxes?

Personal Taxes

Adult Dependent Relatives

This is a weird one but - one of the stipulations of covering any dependent is that they cannot be married filing jointly, with one exception: if they are filing for the sole purpose of receiving a refund of payment of estimated taxes or withheld income taxes, but neither one would be required to file or have any income tax liability. I had realized a few weeks ago that I could cover my mother as an adult dependent, as I live with her and I am responsible for over 50% of her expenses. I went to file an amended return, however, I found out she filed a return with my father last year, jointly. Neither of them were required to file their taxes - their joint income was $155 (lol). They did it trying to get a refund, but they got no refund. However, they also didn't owe any taxes. they didn't receive any credits either. Does this disqualify me from covering my mother as a dependent? the examples the IRS give do not address this - they go over a similar scenario, where a dependent married and filing jointly files their taxes to claim a tax credit, which does disqualify those dependents, but that is because the purpose was to get an alternative credit, not a refund. My folks filed taxes because they hoped they would get a refund and when they saw they had $0 refund, thought they still had to file anyway and submitted it. it seems weird to disqualify them as dependents in that regard when neither were required to file a return and they owed and received nothing.

Deceased Father Back Taxes

I am looking for a CPA in Utah to do my deceased father-in-law taxes. He passed in January 2023. He did not keep very good records. My FIL received a K-1 (Form 1041) from his sister's estate in 2019 and from what I can tell NEVER filed taxes. Being that my husband and others in the family also received the K-1 form and had to file and pay taxes, I are assuming he should have too. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Colorado EV Tax Credit

I'm attempting to finance a new EV vehicle and want to determine if I qualify for the full Federal and State tax credits. I was a full-time student from 8/22 to 8/23, so I am confused about how the credit would be applied in my situation. I would appreciate clarification on when and how the credit would be applied to my tax bill. Thank you, Ryan

Education

How does VA Chapter 35 Benefits affect my calculations for qualified education expenses when withdrawing from 529 plan?

VA chapter 35 benefits are deposited directly into my son's checking account. I'm trying to determine if my son with get taxed 10% on the earnings portion of his 529 if I withdrawal money to cover room & board. If I understand correctly the 10% penalty is waived in this instance. His tuition & fees are paid by directly to his college by another veterans program with the state of Virginia. I know I can not withdrawal the amount for tuition & fees from his 529.
