Q. if I marry will my wife pick up any responsibility for my IRS debt?

October 15, 2016

A: Depending on the nature of the tax liability and when assessed, it is possible the ten year

statute of limitation has run on collection rights. You would need to have the timing reviewed

to confirm if the right to collect has expired.

If the statute is still open, the only certain way in a community property state is to file as

"married filing separate". A pre-nup clearly addressing the debt would also be required.

However, there are other considerations to be aware of...such as whether the addition of

her income into the household changes your apparent "currently non-collectible" status.

Speaking with your tax advisor is highly advisable (enrolled agent or CPA).

Q. In California. If an out of state LLC buys a mobile home in California, does the LLC have any obligation to ..?

October 15, 2016

A: Depends. More information is required. As a very generalized response...If the manager is domiciled in CA

and is conducting the business of the LLC then the LLC would be required to register, file returns

and be subject to the fees.

It is highly recommended you contact a CA tax attorney to have your specific situation evaluated.

Q. I filed my taxes in march and paid the fee online, but I haven't received a confirmation of receipt. Is that normal?

October 15, 2016

A: Your payment would serve as a quasi form of confirmation. Check your bank

account for the withdrawal. It would have occurred within 24 hours unless you

specified a later date.

If you e-filed, you can also obtain an electronic postmark from your software

or tax professional.

You may alternately contact the IRS and request your account transcript for

the relevant tax year. This transcript will evidence the return receipt and summary of

tax return information.
