I have a question about 1099-B. I'm trying to complete my taxes for the tax extension that's due today. I have a statement from Scottrade, my old investment broker. I'm trying to figure out how to input the 1099-B information into my TurboTax. It's very confusing as opposed to the other items in my other taxes. FYI, I'm an independent contractor. 1) Do I need to include a copy of the 1099-B statement that Scottrade provided to me, along with my Form 1040 to the IRS? 2) On my form 1099-B worksheet, I'm not sure what to fill out here. I have a net loss of -454, but I'm not sure what row to add that into. Also under Form 8949 type from Scottrade, there's a cost basis that's been reported to the IRS of 4,319. But again, not sure where to add that. 3) Other than that, there's a lot of check boxes on my 1099-B Worksheet that I don't know what to check off. Any help you can provide would be appreciated.

We lived in Wisconsin until 2012, when we lost our job and our house went into foreclosure. We moved back to Minnesota and filed appropriate taxes for both states in 2012 and just Minnesota taxes in 2013. Our house was sold at sheriff's auction in March 2013. In August of this year, we received a letter stating that as nonresidents, the sale of our house must be reported on a Wisconsin income tax return. We sent a letter to the Wisconsin Dept of Revenue explaining why we do not need to file but received a notice estimating individual tax owed for 2013. We contacted the Dept of Revenue, who told us this is an error and to disregard the notice. Can/should we disregard this notice, and what should we do at this point?

I have a tax liability of $55K with the IRS, including late fees. The IRS recently asked for a $9K payment by next week and a monthly payment plan of $760. I am concerned about my savings being at risk and want to know if I should make the lump sum payment and set up the payment plan, or if there are other strategies to handle this situation, such as filing a form 911 or an Offer in Compromise, especially given my medical issues and the potential for a tax refund from prior years.

I am a consultant for an LLC and the owner is offering me 10% of the LLC with voting rights. The company has $2,000,000 in revenue but also $2,000,000 in debt, with no hard assets and very little inventory and receivables. The company has some value in intellectual property. How will I be taxed when I take ownership in the LLC? Can I mitigate taxes by having another LLC take ownership of the shares? Is there any way to mitigate the tax liability?
