Selling my house
I am in a payment arrangement with the state of MD for back taxes. There is another year old lien on my house which I am selling. The title company has asked about the lien pay off for the house only. MD is trying to make me pay the pay off amount for the payment arrangement and the lien for the house. The lien for the house is included in the payment arrangement. Can they do that? I have been consistently paying them on the payment arrangement.

custodial saving account (UGMA) account tax
I opened a custodial saving account (UGMA) account for my 9 years old daughter. I have two questions? 1- Can I file taxes under the minor name? 2- Can the tax owed on income generated within a custodial account be paid from the same account? or simply the account pay for itself, so i don't need to report it under my annual tax return.

Newly married and need advice
Hello. I am newly married. My spouse has received SSDI benefits since 2012 and has never had to pay taxes on them. I work earning about $26,000 a year. Since we are both new to this, how does filing taxes for myself differ? What is the best way to go to avoid their SSDI income ($18,500) being taxed or for me to get the highest refund possible? Do we file as married filing jointly or separately? I find this all so confusing and overwhelming. I appreciate any helpful advice.

Can your accountant be making you pay to much
I have house and deductions for property taxes, interest, two.kids under 18 etc. Stll I wind up owing about 5000 a year. My brother in law is my accountant and I feel he always is too fearful based on what my wife and I make. I mean I made much less last year as a consultant but he said there was less withholding. This just doesn't make sense as we are married with zero dependents.
