  1. Long time client moved to AK to teach a number of years ago -

    In Dec 2020 he suddenly passed away and I received a call from his daughter to help her with the tax filing.

    1040 no problem but the 1099-Misc payment that AK gives out of $15,000 this year! came in the Name of his estate.

    Do I do a 1041 now? It is marked 2020 -

    He has a will that his 2 children will inherit some land, no stocks - sold those 2019

    So just money and a parcel of land.

    If I put this on a 1041 - he owes $3,765

    on his 1040 - $3,366

    ????

    Grrr

  2. S corp - employs himself and wife.

    He can contribute up to $19,500 + catch-up of $6,500 = $26,000

    then the employer can contribute up to $25%

    with the employer contribution - can the 401 amounts exceed his gross wages?

    Say his wages are only $32,000 - so the 25%  is $8,000 - now = $34,000

    or do his gross wages need to be at least that

    I do not think so as I have other W-2's where all their wages go into their retirement..

    and it has nothing to do with the employer's match..

    Correct?

    And he asked if he can  increase his wages for 2020 as he has until October to fund his 2020 401 to the max of $57,000?

    What say you all on that one?

    Thank you,

    D

     

  3. who is OP?

    He changed his Roth to a TIRA

    He made too much so he has to withdraw or have his broker do a back door IRA

    His broker does not want to do a back door as too much keeping track

    so the broker said just leave it as a non-deductible traditional IRA..

    1 - Can he do that? - just leave it?

    2 - Either way it needs to be kept track of..

  4. hey Pizza Hut is paying drivers $20/hr - my staff discussed it but decided late nights and probably had to pay for their own gas - here might be better - more flexible hours..

     

    Dear Possi - can I "talk" to you about how you sold your business?

  5. client sold business so I had him convert his Roth to an IRA for a back door as I knew his income would be too high.

    Vanguard agent said he cannot do a back door IRA..

    plus it is too hard to keep track of.

    Client and agent saying are leaving as is! This goes back to the posts earlier - about leaving earnings in, etc.. - What penalties does he incur?

    My client wants to know what will happen if he leaves it in the IRA and it was not to be in there?

    I said just put it into 2021 as he will be able to use it then. He wants to leave as is in 2020.

    I said find another agent and he does not want to open another account!

    Actually for keeping track of the %, that would not be a bad idea??

    Thx d
