Do I need to file taxes?

Asked onTuesday, September 26, 2023 by Katie

I did not work last year or earn any income except for $60 in TikTok earnings. Do I need to file taxes on that $60? I would actually prefer to file taxes on it because I could claim the child tax credit for my daughter, but when I went to file it said I wasn't eligible for some reason (I think because of the low amount it said), then it just wanted me to pay the filing fees which is almost $200. So if there's no way I can get the child tax credit, then I'd like to avoid having to pay $200 in filing fees, on earnings of only $60 if possible. Is it illegal to not file on those $60 of earnings? Thanks!

Self Directed IRA

Rolling an old SIMPLE IRA into a solo 401k - Pros / cons?

Asked onTuesday, September 26, 2023 by John

Hello, I am considering opening a solo 401k from Nabers (self employed, sole proprietor). I am mainly attracted to the plan because I could borrow a % of the 401k balance for emergencies, but it will take me some time to build the fund up. I have an old SIMPLE IRA (6 years old). I was thinking, to increase the amount I might be able to borrow in an emergency, to roll the SIMPLE IRA over the solo 401k. My concern is that some of the equities I have in the SIMPLE have lost value but could recoup the value in the next few years. If I liquidate and roll over, aren't I "locking in the losses" in the SIMPLE? If so, is it possible to only sell certain equities and roll them over to the solo 401k? I'd appreciate any ideas on how to do this better.

LLC Setup: Holdco Out of State for identity protection

Asked onTuesday, September 26, 2023 by Brian

LLC structure related with out of state LLC Holdco to protect identity. I have an LLC in Texas, live in Texas, would like to transfer this llc to be Sub of out of state holdco. I will setup more LLC subs in TX. I want a Holdco in a state to protect identity, like WY to hold these LLCs. The out of state motivation is identity protection, not tax benefit. The tax benefit from the holdco would be to hold assets to benefit all LLCs. Question: How complicated will this make 1) tax returns and 2) setup costs? Will I have to file a return in Wyoming for the LLC subsidiaries in TX, or just the WY holdco? Vice Versa?
