Specifically looking for info on tax write offs as they pertain to property you live in and airbnb a portion of. I.e. If I have landscaping done, mowing, house cleaning, etc. Are these deductible expenses? Does it depend on how many days room is rented out?

Section 121 Capital Gain exclusion from home sale

Asked onThursday, August 17, 2023 by John

I am 81 and my wife is 77. We both retired in 2007 and are both on Social Security. We are both healthy with no disabilities. We want to sell our home and move to an independent living retirement center. My question is pertaining to the Section 121 Capital Gains from sale of primary residence. We’ve received conflicting opinions. Previous Home: Purchased in: 2009 Sold: 6/15/2020 Current Home: Purchased: 7/20/2020 Plan to sell on: 10/1/2023 We used the Section 121 exclusion on the sale of our previous home. It has now been slightly over 3 years and we want to use the exclusion on the sale of this home. We have lived in current home over 3 years and it been over 3 years since we used the exclusion on our previous home. My question is can we use use the Section 121 exclusion again on the sale of our current home? Thank you very much, John Blake


Deductions and Write-Offs

Joint EIN

Asked onThursday, August 17, 2023 by Malik

Ok, so I’m an independent contractor for a delivery business. I have an EIN. I use my wife’s car as the business card for deliveries(mileage write off). My question is can I do a joint EIN so me and my wife will be partners in my current delivery job I have now? And if so, since you can write off either mileage or vehicle expenses, can I write off mileage, and she write off expenses since we would be partners of the sole proprietor EIN and technically she could write off the expenses for her car since it’s in her name and being used for business purposes?
