Was working with an elderly client on other matters, when she told me she has updated her will which includes provisions for a Special Need Trust for an older child collecting SSI and ask if I would work with her other children and or their accountants to answer any questions on her finances if need be. I will not be handling either the Estate or Trust. Wanted to do some reading on SNT's and QDT's and looking for more information? Does anyone have any recommended articles, links or recommendation for CPE courses regarding the matter? Thanks in advance

It must be. I have never heard of a Wisconsin Energy Tax Credit on taxes.

If it's any help (NOT), I saw it the same as Catherine.

"Go to the ATX forum, idiot."

Thanks for all the comments. Looks like the "plan" won't really work. This is not "acquisition debt." Dan, I did research the (voluminous) instructions to Sch E, line 12. Lots of cross-references to other situations. I'm happy you understand it. Thanks.

How much of a Roth contribution did he qualify for in 2024?

But we have always done it that way with Turbo-Tax. Depreciation, what is that?

She should check with her fiduciary who already knows the answer to this question.

Definitely "SALY!" Definitely "it depends" We need a big "maybe" on there. When in doubt "extend". and "Sharpen the pencil" In this town lately we could also have "create an LLC"

The Taxpayer has created an LLC and will be taxed as a S-corp. I believe she will need to create a new plan with the new ID. Or can she amend the one she has? And - or - would this be eligible for credits as a new plan?

How much is reasonable? What do most people take?

It may be an Energy Rebate outside of the tax system

Client lives in WI. Installed a heat pump. The invoice says that the purchase qualifies for a $2,000 Federal tax credit (no problem), and a $300 Wisconsin State Tax Credit. I cannot find any information on the WI State tax credit or how to claim it. I have spent quite some time searching, and I've also had my assistant search in case I was having a 'duh' moment. Anyone have a magic form number I'm missing? I've been through WI Sch CR, and none of the lines seem appropriate, and I don't see anything in the 2024 WI 1 Instructions. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. I feel really daft that I can't figure this out.

These balance due notice letters should probably be a separate discussion.

Oops, posted too soon. I've take the discount for all the years prior but now use only 1040 package so it's only $140 or so. With back surgery Monday and moving in June, I'm not sure whether I will continue. My healing process will determine. When I used MAX for many years, it was worth it to pay early as the amount was more significant. And then one year someone posted that they got the discount in the fall after all. Maybe begging and pleading was involved - or bribery, who knows? I am passing this time. YMMV
