Bitcoin/Crypto

Hi I was just hoping to get some information regarding buying Bitcoin/crypto. Is there a certain amount that we can buy without having to report it on our taxes? Or does any amount we buy in crypto have to be reported? I want to check before investing any money in it.

Will insurance Paypal payment be taxed?

I was involved in a car accident in 2023, and the insurance payout for my car was sent to me through Paypal. I understand any payments higher than $600 will be reported to the IRS, but have also read insurance payouts aren't taxed. I withdrew the money to get my replacement car and the parts needed to repair it, but now I'm unsure how it will affect my taxes next year. I do not run a business through Paypal, it is only for personal purchases.

Can a wife as her tax transcipts independently from her previously receive joint file

I need assistance with a tax-related question. In a scenario involving a husband and wife, they have jointly filed their 2022 tax return. The wife has been requested by a federal office to provide her tax transcript. However, the husband is uncooperative and unwilling to submit a joint transcript. I would like to know if the wife has the option to independently request a copy of her own federal tax transcript from the IRS, which she can then submit to the federal office while maintaining confidentiality.

I keep track each time I go to work at the Rentals iPhone. What is the best way to do that? Can I only write off mileage? Or the time spent working? Do I pay myself for work done?

Audited, claiming kids

I've claimed all 3 of my children since they were born, the eldest being 6. I complied with the requests for extra documentation and waited. They're now saying I can't claim them or the earned income credit and owe 1,000 + with interest, even though they're just now saying I owe something. I have been waiting since I filed in February and do not understand how they can claim that these children are suddenly not mine.

Donation

A person wanted to donate $4000.00 from their IRA to my church. At the same time, they wanted the church to give them $2000.00 so they could save on taxes. Is this legal, or is this a form of money laundering?
