Have you considered using an inheritance to buy a house? I had the chance to help a client think through this toward the end of last year. They were building new and needed to have their down payment ready at the beginning of this year for an estimated move-in of Fall 2024. Situations like this can appear to be relatively straightforward. Take the money you inherited, and then use what you need for the down payment. But the reality is that there can be unexpected tax consequences for certain types of inheritances. In this client's case, they had inherited a Traditional IRA. That means that the money in the account hadn't been taxed yet....and yes, that it would be taxed when it is taken out...even by the beneficiary! The trick here was that it would only be taxed when it is actually taken out of the account, not the moment they inherited it. But instead of waiting to take it all out when they needed it (January 2024), we explored some different alternatives. It turned out that in their case, due in part to certain tax credits and the marginal tax bracket they were in, they could save around $2k in taxes by taking SOME of the money out in 2023, and the rest in 2024, splitting the "income" from the IRA over multiple years. In the grand scheme, $2k was a small percentage of the money they inherited. But by itself, it is still a nice chunk of change! Even situations that seem like they don't need much thought can mean thousands of dollars in different outcomes. #taxplanning #inheritance #IRAstrategy

TAX TIP OF THE WEEK - Looking to pass wealth on to your kids? 🚼 Piling money into savings accounts while they are under 18 can have some unforeseen tax consequences, however, there is 1 type of gift that comes with tax perks 🎁 ... There are 2 tax traps ☠️ with just transferring money into their savings accounts: 1️⃣ Interest earned from these accounts (if more than £100/annum) couldn't as your income, so you could end up paying tax on it. 2️⃣ Gifts of more than 3k per annum will count towards the annual exemption meaning it could be subject to inheritance tax. The way around this is to make gifts out of unused income, as long as it is regular & doesn't impact your own normal standard of living it is outside of Inheritance tax. To get around the income tax trap you could consider making the gifts to a registered pension plan for your children, ok they may not get access to it until they are 55, but HMRC will top up any contribution made by 20%. 💵 Nice of them to give you something for a change.. Hope you found this useful. 🤔 👋 Daniel Welling Adam Morris

Trouble with the IRS? The consequences of unresolved tax debt can be severe and far-reaching, and as tax debt grows, individuals may find themselves in hot water with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Taxpayers may receive notices and demands for payment from the IRS, signaling the urgency of addressing their tax liabilities. The IRS has the authority to pursue aggressive collection actions to recover unpaid taxes. This can possibly mean issuing tax liens, garnishing bank accounts or wages, and even seizing assets!

The usual tax position for couples who live together with their spouse or civil partners is that property income held in joint names is divided 50:50. This is regardless of the actual ownership structure. However, where there is unequal ownership and the couple want the income taxed on that basis a notification must be sent to HMRC together with proof that the beneficial interests in the property are unequal. This is done using Form 17 - Declare beneficial interests in joint property and income. #BeneficialInterest #JointProperty

Day 11 of the “Tax Commandments” What you thought there would only be 10😂 11. Thou shall not in most cases believe you can have your tax debt settled for “Pennies on the Dollar”! Especially if you’re still employable, kinda healthy, less than 55 years old, own real property, married to someone with assets etc. The conditions to get an offer considered and accepted has changed considerably over the last 10-15 years. You can thank those commercials that led to so many bullshit offers being submitted. These firms in many cases collect a retainer (sure you can make payments), gather your financial information, submit an offer that has “no chance in hell of being accepted”! Then in certain cases offer you the “installment agreement” option (more fees) and you could have done it yourself. IRS has at minimum 10 years to collect, California (income tax) at minimum 20 years. Oh and an installment agreement tolls the statute of limitations on collecting. If you’ve got assets or potential they will wait your ass out, seizing, placing liens and levies on anything they think is yours. Of course or wait for you to marry someone that foolishly puts your name on joint property. Sure it can happen, settling for “pennies on dollar”, but probably not for you! Put those fees towards your tax debt if you more than likely won’t qualify. “Tax Moses”
