I was a contractor for part of the year and made about $8,400. I have some deductions I'd like to make (travel, new computer, etc.) and was wondering if that comes off the top of the $8,400. For example, if I made $8,400 and bought a computer for $2,000, would my gross income technically be $6,400? Additionally, how do IRA or 401k contributions affect this amount, and when do I need to set these up to qualify as a 2017 deduction?

My wife and I file jointly. She has a TIN but is not a U.S. citizen. She continues to receive a widow's pension from the bank where her husband worked. Is that amount taxable?

Is it possible to open an LLC with only one member? Can this member be an employee of the company? If so, can compensation be divided between salary and distribution of profits? Which type of taxation exempts the distribution of profits to the partner from charges? Does the partner residing in the country need to be legally in America? If the work visa is expired, what is the procedure to open the company? Is taxation as an S-Corporation the best option for a company that invoices $1,200,000 a year with costs and expenses totaling $800,000 and a member's salary of $120,000 per year? Our main activity is subletting apartments per season; is there any activity related to this field where the taxation is more interesting for the company?

I am transferring from WI to AK for a new government job, and the move is not being paid for by the government. I would like to ship my vehicle to avoid driving in the winter. I have an estimate of $5000.00 to ship it. Will this cost along with the airline ticket, rental car, and hotel cost while I find housing be tax deductible?
