Step up in basis

Asked onTuesday, August 22, 2023 by Douglas

My father and his live-in girlfriend executed a warranty deed/life estate for their jointly owned house. I and the daughter of the girlfriend were the remaindermen. My father died, the girlfriend is still living. The house was sold, the proceeds were split three ways using the appropriate percentages. My question is: since my father was deceased when the house was sold can I use a step up in basis when I report the capital gains on Federal tax forms? Thanks.

Estimated tax requirements to avoid penalties and interest

Asked onTuesday, August 22, 2023 by Jules

I have a question about tax penalties and interest Suppose my total tax due was 30,000 last year, and all of that was due to employment. Suppose this year I expect to have about the same 30,000 taxes due from employment, and an additional 50,000 taxes due to long term capital gains for positions sold this year. If I give pay 33,000 in taxes during this year, through a combination of payroll directions and estimated tax payments, then I will owe 47,000 when I file next year (approximately, of course) True or False — since I paid 33,000 in taxes this year (110% of last years 30,000 total taxes due) then the 47,000 I owe and I pay when I file next year will NOT incur a penalty nor interest?

2017 ammendment

Asked onMonday, August 21, 2023 by Dana

I have a question on a ammendment situation. When I filed 2017 one of my dependants should have been removed. Later that year I moved and missed a notification from the irs. They then gave me a tax debt for all of my dependants. The debt for all 3 dependants was took from my 2020 tax refund which was around $9000. I should not have been charged for 2 of the dependants and I am entitled to a refund for the 2 dependants. What do I filed exactly and can I still get a refund for the 2 dependants back?

Tax Forms

Curious about which forms I should fill out

Asked onSaturday, August 19, 2023 by Karriem

Hello, I hope you’re doing well today. I did some self employment work in 2022 but didn’t get my 1099-NEC & 1099-K forms until the beginning of this year. Should I still fill out the 1040-ES payment vouchers for each quarter? Or is there another form I should be filling out since I’ve missed the due dates?
