Inheritance question

Asked onMonday, August 28, 2023 by Aaron

I am the executor of my fathers will. Everything is straight forward, other than he has a stipulation that any body under 21 doesn’t get their portion until they turn 21. What is the best way to go about doing this as it will take 1-6 years for the younger ones to get their inheritance. And we don’t want it just sitting in some bank account making .5% APR when we can throw it in a cd and have of make 4-5%. Thanks!

Personal Taxes

Rental income

Asked onThursday, August 24, 2023 by Sam

I need help with taxes related to rental property. My wife and her 4 siblings have a quick claim deed for a house. The house has been rented to my son for the last few years and at below market value. I run all the rental income thru my taxes. Is that ok? Next, I have forgotten in the past to put how many days the property is used for personal use. Because of son living there. But I have put down that it was rented below market value. When I change the return to show that personal use was at 365 days last year it does not change any amount due. Can you help answer these questions?

We had the home built and moved in December 2021 so we will be in it less than 2 years. We will have probably have about $200,000 in capital gains from the sale.

Roth 401k rollover to Roth IRA

Asked onThursday, August 24, 2023 by Sean

Hello, I am looking for some tax advice on how I can handle my Roth 401k that I rolled over into my Roth IRA. I opened my Roth IRA in 2016 and I rolled my Roth 401k over into it last year. I contributed $19,000+ to my Roth 401k in 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022, so I could take up to $76,000 out of my Roth IRA if I needed to right? What are the exact codes that should be on the 1099 form that Merrill Lynch issues to me for the withdrawal? Do we only need to say $0 in box 2a? And then use codes B and 2 in box 7 to ensure I pay no taxes, no penalties, and avoid an IRS audit? I reviewed these two resources to try to determine how Merril Lynch should prepare my 1099 for me.
