My wife's doctor suggested a gluten-free diet, even though she tested negative for celiac disease. She feels better on this diet. Can the additional cost of gluten-free food be deducted as a medical expense on our taxes, and are there any differences in tax rules in New Jersey regarding this?

What can I do to clear up a misunderstanding with the state of North Carolina regarding my residency status for tax purposes? I moved out of North Carolina in 2008 and received a license in Tennessee. I have been overseas since 2005 working in SWA, and prior to moving from NC, I always filed for tax exemptions for Federal and State Tax each year I was still living in NC (2005, 2006, 2007).

We have an LLC in California that has elected to be taxed as a C Corp. We declared our annual bonus for 2011 on Jan 26th 2012, which resulted in late payment of bonus-related taxes to EDD and IRS. We paid the additional taxes promptly but received penalty and interest charges. Is there a way to appeal these charges, and if so, what should we write to EDD and IRS? Or, were we wrong in making the bonus payments for 2011 after the tax payment due date for the period ending Dec 31, 2011?

I sold an easement on my property to a pipeline company in 2011. I was paid by check and did not receive a 1099. How and when do I report this income to the IRS, including the specific form number?

If I have not filed my small one-person C-corporation tax since operation in 2007, how many years do I need to file to be considered current? All the income is 1099 (small insurance broker). I did not do a W2 or 1099 for myself. I am thinking of indicating that I pay myself whatever is left after all expenses. How do I account for any money taken out personally, and would it be legal to report my compensation as a dividend and pay the double corporate tax vs. W2 income to myself and be penalized for payroll tax?
