Sale of business, owner financed, pay all tax upfront??

Asked onFriday, November 08, 2024 by Melissa

We are selling our business as a Membership Interest Sale (according to the attorney). We are seller financing - collecting a 20% down payment on Jan 1 2025 and will collect monthly payments for the following 6 years, amortized over 9.5 with a balloon payment due at the end. Our local CPA tells us that we will owe taxes in 2025 on the full sale price amount, even though we won't collect that money in 2025. Is this correct and/or is there a way to not have to pay so much up front? Sale price is 300k, down payment is 60k and he is telling us that the majority of that down payment will go straight to taxes. If it's helpful, we have structured it as 50k assets, 250k goodwill, but can change that in the documents that have yet to be signed..

Prop trading firm

Asked onTuesday, October 15, 2024 by Fred

I tried getting into trading through a prop firm and it didn't work out for me. I invested about 4900 between subscriptions and tools and would like to write these off as a loss. The prop firm company normally issues a 1099misc for those that receive income however, I never received a positive income and wasn't issued a 1099. I typically file my own taxes using an online tax software and would like to get advice on how to report this loss on my taxes. Thank you for taking the time to read and assist. It is greatly appreciated.
