I work remotely for a company based in Nebraska, but I physically work in Arizona and have never been to Nebraska. Nebraska withheld taxes on my W2, and now I'm being told I need to file taxes for both states and may end up paying more. Should I be double taxed on my income, and what steps should I take to resolve this issue?

I have a taxpayer who took $50,000 out of an IRA for home improvements, including a roof, siding, and garage remodel. I'm trying to understand if there's a way to avoid penalties or taxes on this withdrawal, as I've only seen information about a $10,000 penalty-free withdrawal for building or rebuilding a home. Is there a loophole I'm missing?

I have a question about distribution at age 73. We receive retirement funds directly to our bank in checking. I contributed to my retirement plan for 30 years. What is RMD (Required Minimum Distribution), and did we need to take it last year?

I lived in a house in NJ for 4 years (principal residence) with ownership in my spouse's and my name. I created a single-member LLC and sold the house to the LLC at market price. I paid both the transfer tax and transfer fee during the transaction. Can I claim the transfer tax or/and the transfer fee back as a refund while filing taxes? Also, what would be the cost basis for the LLC—the fair market value at the time of the sale to the LLC in 2023, or the fair market value in 2018 when my spouse and I jointly bought the house? And do I need to declare the gain from the sale to the LLC in my tax return?
