My mother passed away in November 2017, and her estate was divided among her three children. Two sisters received an additional sum of approximately 150 thousand, which they agreed to gift half to me. One sister now wants me to pay her 11K to cover taxes she says she owes in Oregon and to the IRS. I live in California and am concerned about potential tax liabilities for the gifted amount. What are my tax responsibilities, and can my sister deduct the gifted amount from her taxes?

I formed a living trust in 2017 and used to report all my rental income under a family partnership. Do I need to file a 1041 tax return from now on, or can I continue to report under a partnership return? Would it be beneficial to report the rental income in a trust tax return?

A client of mine donated $15,000 directly from his IRA distribution of $60,000. Should I show $60,000 on line 15a of Form 1040 and $45,000 on line 15b? If so, do I have to manually adjust the taxable amount for the charity?
