As a new independent contractor, I had $115K in revenue/income and approximately $30K of out-of-pocket expenses (travel/entertainment) for which the client reimbursed me. Should I be charged income tax on $115K or the combined $145K? If it's $145K, can I deduct the expenses?

My AGI is larger than my actual income. I am retired on a pension and social security. My income for SS and retirement totals $61,000, but my AGI says $99,000 according to IRS software. How is that possible?

I have a client who has 30 secured notes and receives interest income from them (130K). The notes are secured by real estate, some of which are wrapped by other notes on which he pays interest (42K) to the wrap owners. He also has auto expenses (6K), legal expenses (9K), rent expense (16K), and repairs (32K). It is a 2-owner partnership. Prior accountant put interest income on K1 and interest expense and the remaining in Form 1065 as ordinary. I believe if anything, they all are investment interest and the rest investment expenses. Please advise.

Should I form an LLC if my husband and I file jointly, he owns an LLC, and I am a freelancer on a 1099? Our combined income is about $200K, and we don't own a home, so we generally don't claim itemized deductions.

How should I report the sale of a duplex, where half is my personal residence and the other half is part of a deferred exchange, on Form 8949, given that I received a 1099-S for half of the gain?
