I sold some stocks in 2013 and neglected to claim the sale on my taxes because I didn't receive a 1099 from the clearing house. The IRS has assessed taxes on the entire sale amount, not the gain. The brokerage firm doesn't have the purchase price information needed to calculate the gain. My investment account was transferred to three different firms over the years. How do I report this to the IRS and where can I find the historical purchase prices?

As part of an acquisition, former owners will be paid a non-compete over 3 years and will also be employees of the acquirer. Are these payments includible in the W-2? Or is there a position to say the first one is part of the sale proceeds? Or are all three (even after employment begins) part of the sales proceeds?

If I have a self-proprietorship and my wife works for me, do I pay her and then file a W2 for her wages? If my self-proprietorship has a defined benefit contribution plan, can she participate as an employee?

I am preparing a 2014 S-Corp return for a client who did not take any salary, but has K-1 income of $75,000. Should I subject any or all of her K-1 income to self-employment tax on her personal tax return, or should I show it as a distribution?

I am a self-employed massage therapist who has been living off a divorce settlement for the past two years. I am now considering buying a home but need tax returns to qualify for a mortgage. Should I file taxes on money I don't owe just to get the paperwork needed for a mortgage, or should I continue renting and file taxes on future income?
