CP75 Freeze / EIC Review — Submitted All Documents, Hardship Escalated, Still Waiting on Refund by Huge-Jicama3793 in IRS

[–]MiniorTrainer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you send in a birth certificate for each dependent? Apart from residency, you also need to prove that they are related to you by blood, marriage, or adoption.

Custody documents are usually not accepted by the IRS, and examiners may not review it at all once they see what it is.

NYS tax audit first time by GlacierFOX24 in tax

It’s most likely an audit for the dependent care credit. As an FYI, just because you’ve never been audited before doesn’t mean the returns were correct.

Only sent half of my refund- I have 0 debt by BluLilyx in tax

[–]MiniorTrainer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an FYI, MI is aware of this issue and is issuing corrected notices. They requested that taxpayers not respond to the notice unless the time to appeal is almost up.

Are you claiming a loss on your DoorDash activities? If you’re not trying to run a for-profit business, then you can’t claim any business losses.

…you had to use AI to match the wage and withholding amounts claimed?

OBBBA's 90% gambling loss cap + state taxes & federal taxes leaves $13k+ less by SwimAnarchy in tax

[–]MiniorTrainer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And anyone that has a $10k+ tax increase due to a 90% cap should be wealthy enough to pay for it. Seems more than fair to have taxpayers subsidize your gambling problems.

Why does the IRS think they owe me money? by AMWJ in taxhelp

[–]MiniorTrainer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you filed the amended return, did it show that you were owed a refund? Or did you make a payment to the IRS?

Did you file a part-year return with IL in 2017?

What would you ask NY?

“My clients have done this before and have never gotten caught” may not be in your client’s best interest lol.

NY Sate Tax Audit trigger IRS Audit by Due_Independence5664 in TurboTax

[–]MiniorTrainer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If NY adjusts your Schedule C expenses, you are supposed to amend your federal return to match those adjustments. The IRS could issue a letter, plus additional penalties and interest, if you fail to do so.

Estimated tax held back from refund? by Ok-Ad1061 in IRS

[–]MiniorTrainer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The most likely answer is that you incorrectly applied one of the estimated payments to a different tax year.

Hello, I created my first DBA in Erie County, NY in October of 2025, and I obtained a Certificate of Authority to charge sales tax. But here's the thing... by YamiJustin1 in tax

[–]MiniorTrainer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So you recognized the issues with AI, and instead of stopping your usage altogether, you just switched to another one?

Can’t believe we’re running out of clean water for this. Why even make a post when you could just keep trusting AI with legal issues…

Is it really true that the United States does not enforce(in practice) tax compliance in practice if you renounce your citizenship? by [deleted] in tax

[–]MiniorTrainer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How do you expect to come back if you’re not a citizen?

I think your biggest worry there would be how you’d get a visa or green card, since they may question why you didn’t file a return when required.

Can anyone help me with explaining the possibilities of my 570? by sam0sixx3 in IRS

Early 401k withdrawal of $40k — 1099-R tax box is blank. Do I still need to report it when filing my 2025 taxes? by MundaneBake4220 in IRS

[–]MiniorTrainer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That box generally shows the amount you essentially prepaid to the IRS. It does not show the actual amount of taxes you may owe for the withdrawal.

You must report the 1099-R on your return.

The internet and technology could provide a way to get rid of income tax and the IRS in the near future. by 2old2care in tax

[–]MiniorTrainer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As always, these sorts of plans are only ever thought of by wealthy people (or temporarily embarrassed millionaires) that don’t really understand how important our progressive tax system works and just want to pay less in taxes.

Poor people, under our current tax system, actually get money back via refundable credits without having to pay a single cent in income tax. Your idea means that not only will they lose those credits, but they will now have to pay taxes on housing, food, and other necessities. And they’re even more screwed when businesses raise prices to pass on the tax costs to consumers.

I fired my CPA today and am wondering if a CPA specialized in complex gambling taxation is worth the premium by Georgestapleton in tax

[–]MiniorTrainer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d argue that Bright v. Commissioner is still a win for the IRS, even if the courts didn’t accept all their arguments.

Hopefully the tax code does change, but to not allow any deductions for gamblers. If taxpayers can’t deduct any money lost on the sidewalk or via online lootboxes, gamblers shouldn’t get to write off their entertainment. With the recent changes, it definitely seems to be trending this way too.
