As a rental property owner, can I claim my labor in doing repairs after my rental house was trashed by tenants? I spent over 160 hours working for more than two months to replace doors, windows, baseboards, resurface kitchen cabinets, floor tiles, paint, etc. We have over $5,000 in material receipts. Can I include fair market labor?

My husband inherited a fund from his mother and he passed away in Nov 2011, and now the fund reverted to me which I sold to pay funeral expenses. I do not think this is income but want to know if I am right and if I have to pay some inheritance tax to my state of Pennsylvania? I have not made enough to pay state taxes in years and now at 65 do I owe because of this - the fund was $10,861?

Can I take money out of my SIMPLE IRA and put it back into the same SIMPLE IRA within 60 days, and have it count as a rollover (NON-taxable event)? I have had the SIMPLE IRA for 20 years.

I am 100% disabled for service-connected illness and receive Social Security, Navy disability, Westinghouse pension, and a disability check. My accountant said it's not worth filing because we only have one deduction, the house. I'm concerned about whether my Social Security is taxable and if I need to file a tax return. What should I do?

I owe back taxes due to unfiled returns, and the IRS has been taking money out of my paycheck. I have contacted them but have been unable to reduce the amount withheld. Can I get any of that money back, and how do I stop the withholding?

My step-grandfather had a remainder non-revocable trust. Wachovia / Wells Fargo was the trust administrator and executor. My step-siblings have now received $50,000 each. (Trust was under $1 million.) To figure out the possible income taxation, is the entire $50,000 taxable? Or is it the gain/loss of the stocks involved?
