  When contemplating a divorce, is it better to first start filing your own taxes?
  
  Last year - I was told by moderators to keep each distinct question on its own thread. Hence, this question is a different question-- and it should therefore be its own thread. The other question had to do with how to get legal advice. This question is about the order of events. Different...

  How to talk with tax preparer if you're afraid you did an illegal thing?
  
  Thank you - this is exactly what I wanted to know. I thought this might be the case, but I have zero experience in working with lawyers. Yes, my friend does know I'm asking questions on her behalf. This is part of how I'm helping her. Basically think of the kind of person who's in hiding...

  What is the name of your state? -- NY State This isn't me, but a friend, who left her husband w/o getting divorced and has never notified officialdom of her current address. Basically, these weren't wise moves to make, and there may have been one or two other unwise actions, and she wants to...

  Filing taxes as a non-resident of NY State
  
  It's kind of obvious that the question is how to handle the address in such a case. I've read the relevant instruction books and they weren't clear.

  Filing taxes as a non-resident of NY State
  
  The question is about filing taxes in NY State. It concerns a person who is living apart from their spouse, and the two desire to file taxes separately. The person is not earning any income - but has some interest income, and a foreign government paid pension. We understand how to report the...

  Trading domain names - business or investment?
  
  As someone who has looked into domain name investing -- I think you could structure the reporting to the IRS either of the two ways you describe. Yes, the domains you purchase constitute a kind of inventory that you're selling. It would be little different from a business selling trading cards...
