For the past 2 or 3 years, I have received a 1099-misc form for income from board work in a micro-cap, employee-owned company, paid in illiquid penny-stock shares that cannot be sold due to the company's financial difficulties. Is there any mechanism to defer declaring this income, such as marking the year-end value of the stock to zero due to its illiquidity, even though it theoretically has value?

I bought a house in 2017 with the plan to flip it in 2018. Do I report the purchase, real estate taxes paid, mortgage interest paid, and repairs made to the house on my 2017 tax return, or do I wait until my 2018 tax return? Additionally, how do I handle this gain for tax purposes under a 1031 exchange?
