Small Business

Closing business in Texas, how do I notify the IRS?

Asked onWednesday, August 16, 2023 by Melissa

I am closing my small business, sole proprietorship, no EIN #, working as DBA, no employees, keeping supplies to use as a hobby. Filed taxes for business & personal together earlier this year to meet April 15 deadline. Told 2 conflicting answers on how to alert IRS of closing, need confirmation? Also, when I file my 2023 taxes in 2024, do I include my small business one last time marking business will close on tax filing forms? Do I record my 2 small sales for 2023 and any expenses for 2023 at that time? Thank you for your time.

Estate Distributions Questions

Asked onWednesday, August 16, 2023 by Camille

Hi, I have personally received an estate distribution from my dad’s estate. But it is a personal check written from the successor trustee’s personal bank account. It is in excess of $10,000. Is it ok to deposit and cash a handwritten check from a personal bank account as an estate distribution or should I request a check from my dad’s estate/trust checking account for the estate distribution? Does an estate payout require filing irs form 8300 or will the Schedule k1 form that will be filed at the end of the year by the Trust be sufficient? Thank you very much for any help or guidance. I’m so confused. Thank you, Camille S

Selling my house

Asked onMonday, August 14, 2023 by Janice

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.

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.
