Municipal Bond De Minimis Less Than 1 Year to Maturity

Does the Municipal Bond De Minimis rule apply to bonds with less than 1 year to maturity? Not a bond originally issued for less than a year, but say a bond that had an original maturity of 10 years issued in 2013 purchased in 2023 with 6 months to maturity. If so, is the de minimis cutoff still 0.25%?

Basis for inherited property

Grandfather willed a farm to my mother, "for her natural life" after which he directed it go to her children. He died in 1977. Mom kept and ran the farm from 1977 until her death in 2020. Children sold the farm in 2022. For the purpose of determining capital gains, is our tax "basis" the value at the time of grandfather's death in 1977 or the value at the time of mother’s passing?

Amazon Vine Income?

I am new to the Amazon Vine program. You receive free stuff for submitting reviews. Amazon sends a 1099 if you go over the $600 limit. I am a senior on social security and want to know how this would impact me. I file jointly with my husband. I have read so much stuff that even if you are below the $600 you should report it. Many say to report as a hobby or business income. I am so lost on this.

Personal Taxes

Long term capital gains

If I made 10 thousand in personal income, but sold stocks for long term capital gains of 100k, is that 100k tax free? Or, are those long term capital gains considered as part of the calculation of personal income? Basically the question is about the exemption of long term capital gains if your income less than 44k
