As a non-resident alien engaged in a business in the United States and owning a residential property in Texas that I rent out, I need to file a 1040NR. My question is about the amount of gross rental income I have to declare in 1040NR. I understand I can deduct maintenance costs, mortgage interest, insurance costs, and depreciation, but in my resident country, I will still have to declare my worldwide income, and they will only recognize a flat 5% of gross rental income as a deduction. Therefore, I am considering splitting my rental income into 'Rent' and 'Reimbursable expenses' to lower my gross rental income in 1040NR. Will I be able to report only the 'Rent' portion as gross rental income in 1040NR and not the 'Reimbursable expenses'?

Can a Single Member LLC filing on Schedule C pay rent to another LLC (owned by the same member) for use of a building owned by the single-member? If so, how should the rent expense and income be recorded on Form 1040, specifically on Schedule C and Schedule E?

I am selling my primary home and will make approximately $67,000. Do I pay taxes on this? How much? Some of the funds will be used as a down payment on a new home and to pay off debt.

I am a tax pro and I have a client who worked as an employee in an African Country and made over $100k. He was not gone over a year, was not paid by an American Company, and there is no W2. I have his income paid and the taxes he paid to the country. I used Intuit Pro Series software. How do I enter his employee out of country income on his tax return? What do I need to look for as far as additional savings and deductions?

Our 25-year-old daughter, who lives with us, started working last year and earned $10,000. We have been told that we cannot claim her as a dependent for 2017. She was on our ACA account all year and did not get her own coverage when she started working. Is there a way to transfer (allocate?) premiums and credits from our 1040 to hers?

I filed as single last year and got married in August 2018. I legally changed my name with the SSA but didn't inform the IRS. My W-2s have my maiden name, and I plan to file jointly with my husband for tax year 2017. Should I use my maiden name or married name when filing, and is it advisable to cross out my maiden name on the W-2 and write in my married name since the SSA has my married name in its database?
