Q. Hi I've got a tax question that I could use your help on if you're able. If an individual gives shares (equity) of a private company to an individual, are there any immediate tax implications for the giver or receiver of the shares? For example, if someone gifts me shares of a private company then would I or the giver need to pay taxes on that? Would the lifetime exclusion value be based on the latest 409A valuation of the private company shares? Also, I’m an investor currently looking to buy a business in the next 3-12 months and will be searching for a tax advisor. Thanks! James
When giving shares of a private company, it is important to consider the potential gift tax implications for the donor and future capital gains tax for the recipient.

Q. Hello, I contributed $6500 to Roth IRA in December 2023. Then, in February 2024, I removed excess contribution and attributable earnings of total $7500 from Roth IRA. I do understand that the earnings portion of $1000 (i.e. $7500 minus $6500) would be taxed as ordinary income. However, would earnings portion (which was attributable to contributions) be taxed as part of 2023 or 2024 income? For example, my IRA administrator brokerage firm will not send any 1099 forms about these transactions for the remainder of this year(2024), but they will send 1099 next year(2025). When they send me 1099, I don't know for which year I will owe taxes... Will I owe tax for 2023 because the original contributions were made for 2023? Or, will I owe tax for 2024 because excess contribution and earnings were removed in 2024? I look forward to your feedback. Thank you!
Typically, Roth IRA income is not subject to taxes. If you need more assistance, feel free to reach out. Team FlyFin.

Q. I have an individual 401K and I'm filing out Form 5500-EZ. On Part III, Line 7 the instructions say to include cash contributions "received and/or receivable" during the plan year. I interpret that to mean I should include contributions made in 2024 for tax year 2023, but I'm not sure.
Contributions made in 2024 for the tax year 2023 are eligible to be included on Form 5500-EZ, Part III, Line 7.

Q. Hi! I’m wondering how 1099 Ks will be taxed in 2024. I host a fundraiser through eventbrite and we will raise about 5k or more. This used to be outside the taxable limit, but know I know that it’s going to be lower. If I donate all the money (since it’s a fundraiser) am I still taxed?
Income documented on a 1099-K is liable for self-employment taxes. Should you host a charity fundraiser and allocate all earnings to an authorized charitable foundation, you might be able to deduct the donation from your taxable income. This could decrease your tax liability.

Q. 19 years ago, house purchased from parent for $10. Never rented it or used as business/depreciation, etc. Married and lived in home throughout the entire time, file jointly. If I sell the house for $1,150,000, what is my capital gains tax potential? Assume $500k married deduction and about $200,000 in improvements over the years. What do I use as the cost basis? At time of sale, the NYC Finance Dept determined market value to be $563,000 and the assessed value for tax purposes was $51,000. Do I use one of these for cost basis?
In the scenario where the house was acquired from parents for $10 and underwent $200,000 in enhancements, the cost basis would be $200,010. After being sold for $1,150,000, with a married filing jointly deduction of $500,000, the taxable gain would be $449,990. The assessed value for tax purposes plays no role in determining the cost basis.

Q. For FY 2022, I filed my tax as MFS and my spouse as HOH. She paid taxes in DE and PA while we are full time residents of PA. She claimed credits for the taxes paid in DE on the PA taxes. however the credits were declined saying that both of us have different filing status. Can you please explain why this would be ? And is this denial of credit from PA is correct ?
Pennsylvania's tax rules hinder or prevent the allowance for taxes paid to another state when spouses have conflicting filing statuses. The disqualification of the allowance is a result of this disparity, as both spouses must utilize the same filing status to claim specific benefits.
