My mother-in-law passed away in 2023 in Illinois. She had a traditional IRA for 9 years but did not take any RMDs. We would like to make a catch-up distribution for the missed RMDs, as well as an additional one for the current year RMD while filing multiple 5329s and 1040-Xs for the missed years. I want to understand the implications to the 4 beneficiaries. Does the estate make the RMD or is it the beneficiaries? If the beneficiaries, how is 2023 handled and is there a 10% penalty assessed on them since the distribution was for more than the RMD and they are not 59 1/2, even though the distribution was to make up for past missed RMDs?

I am an Etsy seller who started my business in September 2022. I did not qualify for a 1099 from Etsy for the 2022 year, and I live in Michigan. My total profit for 2022 was $1600, but this doesn't account for the cost of merchandise. Do I still need to file a tax return?

I'm trying to retrieve my IP PIN number so I can file my taxes. I am located in Greenwood, MS, 58 years old, single, and made about $30,000 last year. I haven't received a CP01A Notice and I've tried everything to get my IP PIN but still haven't received it. What should I do?

I opened a rental car company and am in the process of purchasing vehicles from an auction. They are requiring me to complete a tax exemption form, but I'm unsure how to fill it out. Additionally, I received the articles of formation but no business license. What steps should I take to obtain a business license and correctly fill out the tax exemption form?

I am an enrolled agent and need help with a 1031 exchange and form 8824. Specifically, I need to calculate the basis of a new rental property purchased in a 1031 exchange. The old rental property was fully depreciated, sold for $1,150,000, and had closing costs of $60,000 and a mortgage payoff of $130,000. The new rental property was purchased for $1,150,000, with a new mortgage of $285,000 and prorated costs of $1,800. What is the basis of the new property?
