We received a 1099-B form, but we did not sell or trade any assets this year. My husband’s company was acquired, and the form seems to capture proceeds from broker transactions due to this acquisition. The term ‘proceeds’ suggests we made money and should pay taxes on it, but our account after the sale shows no increase in value, nor did we receive any cash. What are these ‘proceeds’ and why am I paying taxes on them?

I'm filling out Form 7004 and need to determine if my LLC qualifies as a partnership under Regulations section 1.6081-5. The LLC is formed in Delaware but conducts all business and keeps its books outside the US. Additionally, last year we received a penalty for late filing of Form 1065, which we filed despite having no income or expenses. What should I do to avoid penalties and correctly file this year?

My daughter received an SSA-1099 for her social security survivor and disability benefits from her mother's death. I am the overseer on the account. Do I or does she need to pay taxes on that money? Box 5 is $132,126. I am a painting contractor, have my daughter as a dependent, and we live in California.

Our employer contributed $600 to our HSA in 2023, but we later realized we were ineligible due to Medicaid. We corrected the contributions and withdrawals with correction forms. What are the tax implications and procedures for filing once we receive the refund, and what are the tax implications of the employer's donation? We haven't filed our taxes yet, so our portion shouldn't have an excise tax, but we're unsure of the employer's donation tax implications and how they might report it on the W-2. Do we need to get the employer to fix it, or is it their responsibility?
