Hello! Hope y’all are well. Recently got married. Wife used to live in a no state income tax state. Now we live in the Midwest. Have two questions:

1. She works remote, so I assume eventually she will need to pay state income taxes. Any strategies to minimize that hit?
2. We have a few rental properties that we rent out (not a lot). Some are in the no state income tax state, and some with state income tax. Any strategies there around minimizing income tax?

Hey beautiful people,
I’m 27Y and work in tech. Unfortunately my carpal tunnel is getting worst slowly. I’m worry that I still have like 45 years more to be retired and can’t stop working because I have a f* mortgage to pay 😭 I have a super ergonomic workstation, but I know my hand needs a long rest, and I can’t do it… Does anyone relate? What do you recommend?

How did you get started?

I am a new investor. Started with Parag Parikh and Tata MFs and LIC IPO.

3. LIC listing gains and further performance is horrible. How much of gain I can look forward to in another 5yrs?

Thanks in advance!

VO:
When there’s more than 2 people around you at any moment,

That’s 2 more people than zero.

That’s twice as much as none,

Twice the chance that you’re done.

And done means no-fun.

And when there’s no-fun, there’s no sun.

And no-sun means you’re missing out on SUNNY-D two-for-one.

Because two-for-one, in the sun, is better than none.

Maxed out Roth IRA contributions when I wasn't eligible for 2021 (got a salary bump mid year). Do I need to recharacterize? It's a very small account that's been open for only two years.

So confused how this works and got conflicting information from Merrill.

Why is it when I owe money to a state from my annual tax filings, if I don’t pay the full amount I get charged interest. But when they owe me, they ask for additional documentation and won’t pay me interest for them stonewalling me. Not much volatility y/y in earnings.

New Jersey partnership question.

Partnerships need to use market sourcing for purposes of calculating NR withholding tax (though NJ doesn't even call this withholding anymore).

However, for purposes of calculating the NJ distributive share of income, you apply Gross Income Tax (personal income tax) rules, which is 3 factor and includes COP.

If I end up with 0% apportionment under GIT and 10% apportionment under CBT (withholding tax), the partnership pays tax upfront but NRs get 100% refund?

Anyone works at KPMG MN office in the SALT practice and can let me know how it is?

I am not from the US and taxes overwhelm me; the first few years I did them with TurboTax and it was fine but then I entered a domestic partnership and had a baby. I also bought a house (that I don’t live in), so I went to H&R Block to give it a try assuming they could advise me on optimizing my return, it seemed that they are completely transactional as the person is just typing numbers in a form. Any recommendations on how to navigate personal taxes with an actual advisor?

Hey Team

I'm on a H1B so I am supposed to pay Medicare and SS taxes, but my employer has not withheld anything- my hnr block advisor caught that but she just completed my returns assuming I don't have to pay those taxes

What is the right protocol in this case? Do I owe SS and fica taxes?
