I have my parents on SSI living with me. They want to contribute $500/mo to our expenses. We claim them as dependents since we pay for the rental, utilities, provide a vehicle and pay for insurance. They have our other vehicles they can use. We also drive them if needed and provide care at home. How do I rate the vehicles we provide for tax purposes? Monthly rate? Mileage?

My sister and I owned my mother's house, and the deed was transferred for $1. When my mother passed, my sister paid me $80,000 for her portion. Now I am selling the house and planning to buy another property. Do I have to pay capital gains tax since I am buying another property in 2 years, and this property is not my original home but a second home?
