View All Tax QuestionsHow do I deduct a $100,000.00 donation to a church from my Traditional IRA Account?
Asked onThursday, July 13, 2023 by CarlI receive Social Security Benefits of $34,160 annually and normally file my taxes with the standard deduction. The RMD on my IRA this year is approximately $28,000. I want to donate $100,000 to the church I attend to expand the Sanctuary to accommodate more members and allow our church to grow. Is there a way to do this without paying personal income tax on the $100,000? Even when I used itemized deductions I was only to deduct $3,000 per year on a loss of a large amount of money by theft.

Recasting mortgage, avoiding capital gains tax.
Asked onWednesday, July 12, 2023 by GregMy wife and I recently moved back to our home state and purchased a new home in order to move my aging parents in with us to take care of them. When they sell their home they were going to give us a portion of that money to put towards the new home. We were then going to make a lump sum payment, recast the mortgage and add their name to the mortgage. My question is what would be their tax liability? For example, if they sell their home for $400,000 and give $250,000 towards the new home purchase is their tax liability going to be on the remaining $150,000? What can they do to avoid the capital gains tax, if any?

Intercompany loan and exchange rate realized and unrealized category
Asked onTuesday, July 11, 2023 by MelissaWe just started to repay a intercompany loan that was made to us in Euros. Of course I have a massive loss. We have paid half of the loan off with 89k in exchage loss. But because of the journal entry, the unrealized loss is currently 84k but I don't know what to do with this. My reading states both go on the PNL but I wonder should the unrealized (or both for that matter) should be on the balance sheet until it is fully repaid and fully realized?
