Personal Taxes

Person in my household receives GA ebt

Asked onWednesday, October 11, 2023 by Carly

Hi, I am trying to figure out what to put on my upcoming taxes. My father in law lives in my home, contributes absolutely nothing to the household, and he receives Georgia EBT benefits. My question is, do I have to report that when I file, considering my home is his legal address. Will that affect my return? And also, can I claim him as a dependent considering the fact that it is my home that he resides in, completely free.

Personal Taxes

Settlements

Asked onTuesday, October 10, 2023 by Michael

Hello I will receive 3 or 4 settlements this year, somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 to 25k in total. I had to sue the credit reporting agencies for falsely reporting information on my reports which destroyed my credit causing me to be unable to refinance my home, get a decent rate for an auto loan before the inflation and just recently plus the added stress due to the financial burden these falsely reported items caused me i want to claim them as personal injury settlements and have them be tax free. I am on SSD and would not be filing a tax return and I don’t think I should have to pay taxes on these funds. How do I go about it?


Self Directed IRA

Are distributions received via investments in a private equity fund through SDIRA taxable?

Asked onTuesday, October 10, 2023 by Mobeen

I work in private equity and am given an opportunity to coinvest in my fund. I talked to our tax team about potentially investing via my Roth IRA rather than simple cash wired from my checking account. They brought up that when I receive distributions, it may trigger a taxable event through UBTI or UDFI and I just want to understand in certainty whether that is true and under what circumstances it can be true? My goal is to invest with funds already in my Roth IRA and continue to receive tax free gains.

Tax Forms

If my employer has me as a contract, how will my taxes form look like?

Asked onTuesday, October 10, 2023 by Laura

I got hired for a company but I am seen as a contract instead of full time. This is my first job where this has happened so I am not sure how to file my taxes or what forms to look at. I live in Texas, so i know i will be paying some taxes but Is there a way to find the estimate? I’ve been here for six months as contract work and I’m trying to gain the courage to ask if I can stay as a full time employee. If for some reason I succeed, do I have to do two different tax forms?
