I own a condominium in Gulf Shores, Alabama, which I have rented mainly in the summer for over 25 years. If I sell it now for an amount between $250,000 to $300,000, what approximate capital gains and taxes would I have to pay, considering I have been writing off repairs, painting, replacing some furniture, and travel costs to check on the property?

My ex-husband agreed to pay the IRS $9,136, and I had him sign a notarized promissory note. He received $5,000 from me and agreed to pay the remaining $4,136. He has since spent the $5,000 and has not paid the remainder. This debt was from my retirement funds that he spent in the 2013 tax year. I need to file a civil suit. What should I do, and is the statute of limitations still valid?

I have a penalty for late filing of partnership LLC tax returns and am looking for examples of reasonable cause. I am also checking if we could be eligible for the First Time Abatement (FTA). My LLC was registered last year (2016), made no income, filed 2016 tax returns in November, and received a penalty of $195 per month for late filing. No personal income tax of all partners has been filed.

My daughter works at a bar and receives cash tips and cash for hours worked. Her employer refuses to provide paper paychecks or W-2 forms. My daughter has not filed a tax return for 2016. She claims to have discussed this with her manager, but I suspect there is peer pressure to keep it all silent. How should she report her income, and will this get her in trouble with her job?
