What is a fair income and capital gains tax rate for the rich to pay?
In 2006 the top 2% paid 60% of all income taxes but earned only 30% of the income.
Shouldn't we lower their tax rate to make it more fair?
What is considered income to a trustee?
I am a trustee of a complex trust as well as the primary beneficiary.
All income is distributed to the primary beneficiary annually.
I received a payment from the trust for reimbursement expenses and for payment of my time as trustee.
Is any or all of this taxable income to me?
Can the trust give me a gift up to $13,000 annually?
Is the reimbursement treated differently than the compensation for services?
Does it need to show on the K1?
Can the trust give a secondary beneficiary a gift without issuing a K1 to the secondary beneficiary?
Thank you. If you have any IRS sources that would be helpful.
Ways to reduce income tax when you began making IRA withdrawals?
Any ideas to save on income tax before one has to start making withdrawals from IRA?
I thought one way would be if you're 67 years old and you know you will have major medical expenses in these next 2 years, should you withdraw some out of your IRA since you will be able to deduct the medical expenses from your taxes? Otherwise, if you wait till 70 1/2, then you will not have the deduction benefit.
Any other ways to save income tax when you start making IRA withdrawals?
