I have owned a property for 12 years, lived in it for 7 years, and rented it for 5 years. I am reporting rental income and filing US taxes, and I pay taxes in India, getting credit due to the Double Tax Avoidance treaty. If I sell the property, how much tax will I pay in the US and how much in India? In India, I am in the 25% tax bracket (highest). How will depreciation be accounted for in the US, and can I use any accrued tax credits from India to cover the US property sale tax?

Once I prepare the partnership tax return and issue K-1s to each partner, do these trust groups FBO for the husband and wife require filing any tax returns?

We had an investment with Provident Group, which was rolled over into an investment in a Dominican Republic Resort in 2010, but it was determined to be a Ponzi scheme and closed after one month. Provident has been reaching out for years to close the account, but we never did because they wanted to charge a fee. Now, they are threatening to send a message to the IRS as a write-off, making us responsible for the income, which would be added to our taxable income. Can I use the IRS provision in Rev.Proc 2009-20? If I didn't close the account yet but will now, can I still claim the loss for the Ponzi scheme?
