Hi, A newly married couple - Dec 2006, moved to IL in March 2007, to run a crop dusting service. His LLC as a sole proprieter is established in WI. He did not change anything there but set up a bank account in IL. How does the surviving spouse access this account and close out the business? WI is community property but IL is not.... Help please, her attorney in WI doesn't even know what to do - plus after our experience with our son and probate,, I want to try and minimize her atty fees, etc. The estate is worth less than $200,000 - business equipment are the only assets. Thank you for responding - And thank you fro being here over the summer - It has been crazy and now I'm finally back to taxes, D

I prepared the 1040 and the 1041. Client filed the Estate informal account on $36,000 from a CD and Savings account. Then they found the $24,000 of Series E bonds with $100,000 of interest. Now do they have to Re-file and pay more for the probate filing fee? Is there an amended return for this? (this is the favor for a friend thing) (however, I do have my son's paperework from my attorney to follow! ) Thank you D

my 2 were same office but different auditors Every single receipt to back up the Sch C! All in order, all added up. COMPLETE mileage log - when, where, why, reason, time, date, etc! Income for one as it was low and a loss... therefore is negating expenses other - income was good but still a loss due to sec 179 - wife had high income and took a second look at the site and queried all the equipment use. Both ignored pretty much everything and expect it to go to appeals

WI does not require an employer to pay for jury duty - per prior postings... Not taxable was an incorrect way of putting it - sorry D

THAT'S SORT OF HOW i SAW IT... wonder how the CPA rationalizes it..

thank you! I searched WI DWD and WI is not a taxable state - just says if employer pays, add to their wages and jury duty is not taxable...

resturant cook has been called to jury duty. Owner says they told her she must pay her the hourly wage for the time she is missing... Is that correct? Where would I look? Thx

why under current law is it hard to discharge consumer debt? Atty says... can keep your house and rental and vehicle, just get rid of credit cards... 2nd job - she has 2, they are split up now, he has 2 - gambling and a good paying job... so is the atty lying? what organization has proven to be reliable to help people decide? Thx

client can't make house payments due to ARM @ 11% credit cards high and paying mostly interest only Atty advised bankruptcy on credit cards as only option is that the way to go? any ideas, comments

Business says local car dealer supplies a car for detective work and his CPA firm takes a full deduction of the value. After the car is recognized - 1 - 4 months, they switch it out. He gets it back to sell.... Wants to know why I am not doing that for him? Could it be the reduction in cost vs sale - altho' I am sure he is able to sell the car for more than he paid for it even after being used... any ideas?

Hi Marilyn, Stae goes back forever om sales tax and on WI, I just got a notice for amounts due from 1997, 1998.1999 How generous! plus the number of legit WI EIC's being questioned is too many! I'm staying with with ATX for now...
