EV Tax Credit

Asked onWednesday, July 12, 2023 by Kate

I plan on purchasing a Chevy Bolt Euv this year which qualifies for the $7,500 tax credit. My question is how can I utilize this tax credit so that I can get the full $7,500 tax credit. Should I work more so that I owe more in taxes to balance it out?

Intercompany loan and exchange rate realized and unrealized category

Asked onTuesday, July 11, 2023 by Melissa

We 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?

Taxability of Reimbursement

Asked onTuesday, July 11, 2023 by Craig

My divorce attorney did not submit my financial paperwork to the court properly. As a result, I was required to transfer $40K from my 401(k) to my ex-spouse that I wouldn't have otherwise been required to. I have reached an agreement with my attorney's law firm that they will reimburse me the $40K. The law firm has stated that they will not be providing me with a 1099 form in January. Will this $40K that I receive need to be included in my taxable income when I file my taxes next year?

Funds Put into Brokerage Account Instead of Simple IRA

Asked onTuesday, July 11, 2023 by Danielle

My employer has accidentally been putting funds into an individual brokerage account instead of in a Simple IRA. What is the best way to handle this money? Should I close the brokerage account and withdraw the full amount? Or is there a way to transfer it into a retirement account? I would like to know the best way to avoid a tax implication. I do not want/need the brokerage account, but can keep it if that is best.

Capital Gains status after acquisition

Asked onMonday, July 10, 2023 by Gregory

I have owned stock in VMWare for over 2 years. Broadcom is acquiring VMWare. When (and if) that is complete, I will have an option to either sell the VMWare stock at a set price or have it converted to Broadcom shares at a rate of 0.252 per share. My question is, if I take the share conversion and then sell, would they still be considered long-term gains, or does that clock reset as they are new shares?
