Do I have to pay taxes on my social security income, and if so, how much could I owe? I am receiving my first social security payment in July and will be 65 in May. I thought it was tax-free, but I also earn an additional $21,000 per year, which is taxable.

As a residential general contractor in Texas, I only do fixed-based contracts. I have questions about taxes related to services provided by vendors. For example, when I hire a window company to build and install a shower door, the invoice usually includes the cost, no tax, and the final cost. I add a percentage markup on their product and installation, which is included in the overall contract. I understand that the window company pays taxes at their end. However, when I buy building materials from Home Depot, I pay taxes immediately. I do not pay taxes on my overall profit, unlike on a commercial project. Can you clarify the tax implications for these scenarios?

I’m a college student who is sorting out how to fill out the 1098-T form in my taxes. If I have tuition I’m about to pay this week that was for tuition due at the end of 2023, would that payment be put into my 2023 taxes I’m currently filing? Or will it belong in my next year’s taxes since it will have been paid within 2024?
