I ran a small business selling collectible card game cards for 3 years and stopped in September 2021, planning to restart in January 2023. I have been acquiring inventory since then. Can I write off the cost basis of these purchases as I sell them once I restart my business? Are there time limits on how long before starting a business you can acquire inventory for it and write it off? If I buy a box of cards for $100 and sell it for $120, do I need to pay tax on the full $120? I have detailed records of all purchase transactions.

I am looking to retire and need to find out the exact amount of taxes on my Social Security and pension to see if I can move forward with retirement applications. I am currently 69, located in Vineland, New Jersey, and have no dependents. My typical filing status is single (divorced). Last year, I made a little over $90,000, and my estimated pension is $39,835.80. My estimated Social Security when I turn 70 is between $3,100 - $3,400 a month. Combined, this just about covers living expenses without taxes. I will have no other income besides Social Security and Pension. How much will be taken out of my Social Security and Pension for taxes each year, and will this amount remain the same every year? If I substitute teach after retirement, how would that be taxed?

I have an amended 1099 with a realized long-term gain of $1852.00, but my 1040-X indicates an adjusted gross income net change of $3389. I am using TurboTax software. Why is my correct adjusted income more than $1852, and what could be causing this discrepancy?

Fidelity issued an unexpected automatic RMD before I had a chance to do it myself, resulting in underwithheld taxes. I could pay the extra in my next estimated tax payment, but that would mean uneven estimated payments. Would that potentially result in a penalty? Could any penalty be avoided if I put in enough to amount to 110% of last year's taxes? If that won't work, could I have Fidelity make another distribution and put it all into tax payment?
