We are selling a piece of land in Vermont that was inherited 25+ years ago. I need to budget for capital gains taxes but do not know what to budget. The land is currently in land use, could be used as residential, and is a wooded lot over 100 acres. The selling price is $200,000. The owner's only income is SSI, and he is a partial owner in an LLC and INC, neither of which generally shows much profit. Based on his 2020 Individual 1040, his taxable income is $12,300. What should I plan for federal and Vermont state capital gains taxes?

I am an author of Christian children's books self-published on Amazon. A person wrote a one-star review falsely claiming my book contains vulgar language not suitable for 10-year-olds, which has cost me thousands of dollars in sales. My book has won nine major awards and has numerous 5-star reviews. Is this slander, and can I sue Amazon or the person who wrote the review?
