I took a new job this year and moved to a neighboring state, 100 miles away from my home. I have rented an apartment near my new job to avoid a 3-hour commute and go home to my family on weekends. 1. Is the apartment considered a deductible business expense? 2. In which state do I pay state taxes? 3. To whom do I pay local taxes?

We are married with 2 children and have filed jointly for 19 years. This year, I became a 1099 employee, and we see we now don't qualify for the child tax credit because we made too much. Would it be better for us to file married but separately? If that was best, who would claim the kids and who gets all the charitable deductions, etc.?

I inherited a property from my mom after she passed away in 2009. The property market value was less than $100K at that time. Now I want to sell the property, and its market value is greater than $100K. I want to bring the money back to the US after the sale. What are the tax implications and what documents or forms do I need to report this?
