Deductions and Write-Offs

deduct NY tax with taxes paid to NJ

Asked onWednesday, September 06, 2023 by Yirong

Hi, thanks for your help. 1. I live in New York city for 5 months and New Jersey for the rest of the year. 2. I work in New York City for the whole year. Can I pay taxes only to New Jersey State? Concerns: 1. On my W2, the region is stated "new york city" and my tax preparer state that since I work in New york city, I need to pay NYC tax. 2. I would like to pay NJ tax and get rent deduction (18%), but since I deduct my NJ tax (by paying taxes to NYS) I couldn't get it. So my questions are 1. Can I pay taxes only to New Jersey State? 2. Is there a form that I should fill up to do so?

Stock Options AMT and Capital Gains tax questions

Asked onWednesday, September 06, 2023 by Stephen

I have a few questions regarding how AMT and capital gains tax is calculated. E.g. strike price of 1 dollar, exercise price 50 dollars for 10000 shares, would I pay AMT on the 49*10000 this year, then 49*10000 capital gains tax on the next year when I sell it? Also if I file early one year, say February, exercise my options, then sell my options the following March, and file afterwards, would I pay AMT? Capital Gains tax?

Business Credit Card with Rewards

Asked onWednesday, September 06, 2023 by Chaille

If a business credit card receives rewards - ie. flier points, cash back, etc - is the interest still able to be written off come tax time? To be clear, all purchases would be for the business, and I'm aware the rewards can't be deducted. I'm simply wondering if receiving rewards from purchases makes you ineligible to write off credit card interest.

Miscellaneous

What mileage can I claim?

Asked onTuesday, September 05, 2023 by Benjamin

I live and work in Minnesota. I have two jobs. For one, I work remotely. I am an employee, not a business owner. For the other, I work as a pet-care provider. I get a 1099. For some pet care work, I travel from my home to the client. For other work as a pet care provider, I travel between clients. May I only claim mileage traveled between clients on my taxes? Or can I also claim mileage from home to clients and home again?
