View All Tax Questions1033: Involuntary Conversion
Asked onThursday, July 27, 2023 by MikeMy questions are related to 26 USC 1033 for involuntary conversions. I looked but could not find an answer. I hope someone here can help. 1. To utilize section 1033(a)(1) and (b)(2) to defer a tax burden, does the property that is being compulsory or involuntarily converted have to reside within the USA? 2. Also, can the converted property still qualify under this section if the property is being converted by a foreign national government? To provide some context, I am an individual (not a business) who has a property within Hong Kong. Earlier this year, the city government of Hong Kong sent a notice to inform property owners within an area the government is purchasing back all the properties within the stated area for the purpose of tearing down the existing buildings and redeveloping the area. The notice further stated that if the owners within the designated areas did not agree to sell their properties back within a certain time, the government would forcibly purchase the property within the next year. I own a condo within this area and feel like this falls within the 1033 provision. After the sale I want to take the proceeds and purchase another property within the city, but I want to make sure that I am complying with all tax obligations. Within section 1033, there was no indication that the properties had to be within the USA nor indication that only conversions by the USA or other state/municipal governments would apply. Any information would be helpful.
Do I really need a DBA or Series LLC?
Asked onThursday, July 27, 2023 by ShameerHi, I have recently formed a Wyoming LLC for the purpose of starting multiple e-commerce stores with unique brand names. And I am planning to maintain separate business bank accounts for each e-commerce store. Can I legally run multiple e-commerce stores with unique brand and domains names totally different from my company legal name under single LLC company without legal issues? Or do I absolutely require a DBA for each store, or should I form a Series LLC? Kindly advise the best option for me.
