Asked onTuesday, September 05, 2023 by ken1120-s m-2 line 2, 6, 7 are all the same and fully distributed leaving line 8 as $0. How can single shareholder ever get capital contribution back if line 8 cannot be negative and all line 6 (net income) is passed-through on line 7? How can shareholder ever get a non-taxable return of capital, since this adds to Line 7 distribution amount making Line 8 negative?

avoiding state inheritance tax
Asked onSunday, September 03, 2023 by DavidMy mother is a widow living in PA which has a 4.5% inheritance tax. I am looking for ways to eliminate or reduce this impact. Her estate is about 1.5m of which she has a house valued at 350k, cash of 350k, and investments of 800k. She owns her home outright where she bought it for 220k and the current market value is 350k. If she transfers the house in her will then the estate would have to pay the inheritance tax on 350k. Is it possible that she gifts me (her son) 350k in cash. I file the irs form indicating the gift but no taxes since below the lifetime exclusion. i then buy her home for 350k and pay the 2% transfer fee for PA. She doesn’t pay capital gains as it is under the 250k exclusion for her primary home. She then gifts me another 350k cash from the sale. So her estate is 700k less. As long as she lives for 12 months then I think that avoids inheritance tax on the 700k and avoids the capital gains. Is this allowed?

Asked onSunday, September 03, 2023 by CarterI have one business that has been running since 2008. I have another business idea and want to start a second business.

Federal EV Credit
Asked onSaturday, September 02, 2023 by KunalDo you have to own the vehicle at the time of claiming the federal tax credit? I bought one earlier in the year and am considering switching my config because the math means I’m getting a very good deal to trade in my current car and get one from inventory. But this only works if I can claim the tax credit twice. The irs website doesn’t say anything about having to own the car at the time of claiming the credit, how could I confirm this one way or another?
