Can i deduct interest on this cash back loan?
Asked onMonday, October 09, 2023 by dI’ve read that interest on a cash back loan taken out after 2018 & secured by a primary residence cannot be deducted when itemizing if you don’t use the cash to improve the residence. in 2023 i’ll itemize for the 1st time because i just bought a 2cnd home. i took out a cash back loan in 2014 & used the cash to improve a rent house & not for my residence. Can i deduct the interest, based on the date of the loan?

Treatment of Loan amount in zero cash flow property investment
Asked onSaturday, October 07, 2023 by RachelHow will the principal amount of the loan will get reduced every year in the books of the owner of zero cash flow property as the tenant is paying the mortgage payments directly to lender. what is the JE?

Capital gain on house exclusion
Asked onSaturday, October 07, 2023 by SeanI bought a house in one state in 2016, lived there full time then moved to another state in 2022. We have never rented the house or had any other real estate sales. We sold the house in 2023, for a 1m gain. The house was used continuously since I commuted to work in that state and the house is about a mile from my employment. We definitely meet the test of living in the house 2 out of the previous 5 years. I've received advice from a CPA that we can exclude the 500,000 from the gain, but the tax publication seems to require that the house be the primary residence at the time of sale. My CPA says that is not necessary. Our primary residence was the other state post-2022. Can we take the exclusion?
What do I need to file before dissolving my LLC
Asked onSaturday, October 07, 2023 by LukaHello, Last year, I established a Wyoming LLC, with the help of Northwest Registered Agent. I managed to get EIN for my company and acquired a bank account. I intended to set up an online drop shipping business. Unfortunately the business idea wasn't fully pursued and I'm now thinking of dissolving the LLC. I found it challenging to find proper information regarding the taxes. I have not filed anything yet. There were only two transactions with my company's bank account. One for $0.10 and the other for $0.19, both were initiated by PayPal when I was trying to set up the account. I'm co-owner of the LLC, my partner and I both are non US residents. What forms do I need to file? How should I proceed? Please help me, I'm very confused.
Taxes on sale of vacation home
Asked onSaturday, October 07, 2023 by RonaldI owned a vacation home for 20 years. It is not my primary residence. In early 2021 I contracted for a new vacation home to be built. Due to Covid there were numerous delays and the new house was not finished until November 2022. The new house is also not my primary residence. I placed the old house on the market as soon as the new one was finished. The old house sold in January of 2023. Both the old and new house are held in a revocable trust. Do I have to pay capital gains on the sale of the old house or can I roll over the gain into the new house?
