I received company stock as a certificate for a years-of-service award, but it was not reflected on my W-2. What do I use for the cost basis when I sell this stock in the future, and what portion, if any, is ordinary income?

Will the IRS be lenient to a taxpayer under 59 1/2 who unintentionally rolled IRA money to a checking account and then wrote a check to a new IRA custodian, forgetting about the under 59 1/2 rule? The taxpayer received a 1099-R from the original custodian, indicating an early distribution. What is the best estimate as to how the IRS will proceed?

I closed 2 IRAs in 2015. The first was no problem and was accepted by my broker. The second IRA check was refused, and I was told to cash it and take out the RMD for the now one IRA. I received a 1099-R form that combines both IRAs into one amount, with a distribution code of 7. The taxable amount is the total of the transferred IRA and the cashed IRA. How do I report this, and do I have an RMD for the IRA I cashed out?

My sister started a home daycare last year. She lives in a home owned by her husband and paid him $366 per month rent for the space used for the daycare. Can she expense the rent on her taxes for space in a home she lives in with her husband, or is she setting herself up for an audit?
