Cost Basis Step-up, 50% or can I apply to 100% of position

Asked onWednesday, June 14, 2023 by Alisa

Father had a brokerage account solely in his name, a new account was created to include daughter (myself) JT WROS. The new account was set up the same month of my father's passing. I made no $ contribution to the account or exercised any trading. The account was only created so that the beneficiary would not be my elderly mother as my father was ailing. Can I justify that this was an inheritance and step-up 100% for cost basis?

Since my line 3 is smaller than the standard deduction in line 1, do I really lose out on the $13,850.00 single filer deduction and only qualify for the over 65 exemption and the earned income exemption (line 3? Ouch!

Proper Accounting for Product Sponsorship

Asked onTuesday, June 13, 2023 by Keith

We are an S-Corp Manufacturing company. We are starting to contract individuals as "sponsors" of our products. We have their W9 to provide them a 1099 at the end of the year for the total amount we sponsored them. I need to understand on the accounting side (QuickBooks Pro) how to account for the sales discount in this situation. I have currently set it up as a Marketing expense. In this way it shows the full value of the sale on our books even if we collected nothing but then that value as a marketing expense. I just need to know if that is correct or if we should account for it differently.
