Q. In March of 2023, my wife & I created a revocable living trust. We own a duplex & previously held title as married, joint owners. We also created single-member LLC (where our revocable living trust is the single member/owner of the LLC) and transferred ownership of/title to the duplex to the LLC. Both the living trust and the LLC have unique Federal Tax IDs. My Question: Do we file separate State & Federal tax returns (under either the LLC's OR the Living Trust's Federal Tax ID) for the duplex income/expenses? OR, do we continue to file the Schedule A (with entries for each duplex side) with our joint tax return (as we did, when we owned it as tenants by the entirety)? Thank you!
Single-member LLCs are considered disregarded entities for federal tax purposes, unless they choose to be taxed as a corporation.

Q. Hi, a divorce judge ordered my ex husband, alone, to pay any amounts we have due to the irs for 2019, 2020 and 2021. I understand the irs doesn’t care what our divorce decree says, and they still hold me liable to pay. I submitted an irs Innocent Spouse Relief form to the irs for 2019 and 2020. However I can’t submit the relief form for 2021 bc the ex never filed those taxes. If I file now for 2021, married separately, I won’t be eligible for irs innocent spouse relief bc I must file married jointly to be eligible. I don’t know what to do.

Q. I and my 3 children left my domestic violent husband on July 18, 2023. The final divorce decree hasn't been awarded yet. There's a mediation scheduled April 1, 2024. As that's 5.5mos of the year - who claims the children? AND, can both of us claim Head of Household on our individual tax returns? Thanks, Mia
Your patience is greatly appreciated. In regards to claiming dependents, it is typically outlined in the divorce decree or custody agreement. To qualify for Head of Household status, you must be unmarried or considered unmarried, pay more than half the cost of keeping up a home, and have a qualifying dependent living with you for more than half the year. If you meet these conditions, you may be eligible to claim Head of Household status. Feel free to reach out for further assistance. - Team FlyFin

Q. Hello, I know you can do a 1031 exchange with a investment property. My question is how can you make that happen with a home that is currently your primary home? Do you simply have to live somewhere else for a certain time period to have that home no longer be designated the primary home? Thank you!
We recommend consulting a professional before converting your primary residence into an investment property for a 1031 exchange, as our expertise is in tax filing. It is not advisable to proceed with a 1031 exchange if the property is currently your primary home. - Team FlyFin

Q. I live in Illinois. I have a sole prop under my name and we sell internet and TV packages through an outsourced call center for a broker. I receive commissions on the sales and 95% of the commissions go to the outsourced call center company. I get the remaining 5%. How much tax do I have to pay in total? Let's believe that the total commissions for a month are around $30,000.
You are only required to pay taxes on the 5% commission you receive, which comes to $1,500 (5% of $30,000).

Q. My wife and I live in Maryland. She is a Tour Guide for several agencies under 1099, and she operates as a Master Esthetician under her (single member) LLC. We opened a Solo 401k under her Master Esthetician LLC, and want to know if we are allowed to send profits from her Tour Guide activities, to said Solo 401k.
Contributions from the profits of her Master Esthetician business can be used to fund your wife's Solo 401(k), even if she is also a Tour Guide on a 1099.
