My sister and I inherited bank accounts and a house, with the will stating a 50/50 split. My sister is living in the house. Who pays the insurance, tax, and all expenses? Do we use the estate money for expenses?

I became a US resident in 2014 and still have a Collective Retirement Account (CRA) in the UK, similar to a 401(k). I want to close this account and access the money now, even though it's usually done at retirement age in the UK. Do I pay US income tax on the full amount I withdraw? As I am no longer a UK resident, do I pay tax there too? Also, is there a way to transfer the money from the CRA into my 401(k) in the US without paying taxes yet? If I leave the account in the UK, would I pay tax on it every year in the US or just when I make a withdrawal? What would you recommend I do with the account? Does it cost me to leave it? Do I need to declare this on FBAR or any other forms?

I filed my taxes already. My daughter works part-time and I need to file her taxes online for her. I claimed her as a dependent. She is 16 years old. How can I do this?

An EMT works 24-hour shifts and is required to eat his meals on the employer's premises, for which he spends $25 a day. Station dues cover meals, incidentals, and living expenses while on shift. Should the per diem of $51 be deducted, or should the actual costs of food be deducted?

I noticed that my prior tax preparer left out some asset entries on my 2012/2013/2014 tax returns. These assets were fully depreciated in 2011. Do I need to enter these back in for 2015 taxes, or were they fully depreciated in 2011? Additionally, my prior Tax Preparer did not depreciate my home office from 2005 to 2011, and I made errors in depreciation entries for 2012 and 2013. How should I correct these issues, and can I catch up on the missing depreciation for the years 2005 to 2011?
