I received a 1099 form for 2012 reflecting Unemployment Insurance that I had to return due to circumstances not in my control. I have paid back all the money to the Unemployment Insurance Agency. Why did I receive a 1099, and should I include it in my 2012 tax return? Is there a place on tax forms to list the payment made to the Employment Office?

As a Canadian Snowbird, can I deduct the time spent outside the U.S. from my 182-day stay for U.S. tax purposes, and how does this affect my situation with border guards who do not consider time spent outside the U.S. when determining the 182-day limit?

I bought a land 20 years ago in a different country and sold it last year with some profit. The country's currency has devaluated significantly, and I placed the sale proceeds in a CD in that country. The CD is maturing, and I want to transfer the money to the US. I need to know how to report the land sale, whether to report a loss in US dollars for a gain in local currency, which exchange rates to use for cost/proceed calculations, and how to report the CD and its interest.
