Hello, I have a tax question. My employer is withholding 40% of my moving bonus for tax purposes. I understand that the IRS says supplemental income should be taxed at either 22% or added to my net income, which does not qualify for the 40% bracket. I would like to know if I'm eligible for a tax rebate on the bonus.

I have a 401k from my former employer. Should I do a direct rollover into a Roth IRA? What would be the best strategy in this situation?

I have a portfolio of buy-to-let properties all mortgaged. In my will, I have tried to avoid inheritance tax by bequeathing monies up to the inheritance tax threshold to family and friends, leaving the rest to a charity. My understanding is that on my death, the mortgages must be redeemed. My concern is that if this is done by my executors, they will have to sell most of the portfolio to pay off the mortgages and also to pay capital gains tax. If title can pass to the charity before the mortgages are redeemed, then the charity can sell to pay back the mortgages without having to pay CGT. Is this latter course possible?

I am registered in the District of Columbia as a one-member LLC and file my Federal Taxes under Schedule C of the 1040. I have one CPA who says I do not have to file the DC D-20 Corporate Franchise Tax because I have elected to file a Federal Schedule C. However, DC keeps trying to get me to file a D-20 and deduct the payments on my DC D-40 income tax return. I need a reference to a law, regulation, or DC filing procedure that supports not having to file a D-20, not just an opinion.
