I am retired, over 65, with income from Social Security and a small amount in interest and dividends. I determined that I do not owe any taxes for calendar year 2009. Because the interest and dividends have been reported to the IRS, do I need to submit Form 1040 showing no tax owed?

Does Section 199A apply to income from renting boat slips, reported on Schedule E, where losses are unallowed by rules, but some slips made a profit this year? Additionally, as a Real Estate Investor who rents boat slips and sells homes, does he qualify for QBI considering the safe-harbor rule?

Where do I record a sale of assets inherited from my spouse? The company that bought the tools issued a 1099-MISC as other income. I have spoken to a tax professional who says the amount I received is the fair market value at the time of his death and my gain should be zero. I inherited my husband's business and am selling off the tools and equipment. He died in 2017.
