Inheritance Theft from Charity
What is the name of your state? NJ Quite frankly, my family is not made of great people; that's why I'm leaving it all to charity. But I am concerned that after I die, there may be some funny business on my brokerage accounts (both individual and IRAs), either before they notify my broker of my...- ryanf1475

Is pre-marital money still separate property if I transfer to new brokerage account?
OK, so I am "gifting" it to myself? Is that legit? That almost seems like some legal gymnastics. In any case, I guess the complicating factor here is the (presumed?) rule that if an account is established and funded during marriage, then its contents would be marital?- ryanf1475

Is pre-marital money still separate property if I transfer to new brokerage account?
Thank you, but those rules don't answer my question. My question is probably best answered by an attorney who's been through such cases and witnessed how this is hashed out in court (if one is out there).- ryanf1475

Is pre-marital money still separate property if I transfer to new brokerage account?
Hello all! Let's say that I have a premarital brokerage account. After getting married, I open a new brokerage account and transfer the holdings of the old account to the new broker via ACATS transfer (which means I don't sell any securities--I'm just changing the broker). Are those securities...- ryanf1475

Discrepancies in worksheets (both from IRS)
Got the refund of $75 from HRB that I paid for their Premium product. NEVER AGAIN!! -

Discrepancies in worksheets (both from IRS)
Thank you. I will call H&R Block tomorrow and request refund. I thought I was safe with a big brand like H&R Block--not so. -

Discrepancies in worksheets (both from IRS)
Update: Wow! After some back-and-forth with H&R Block customer service, plus a promised return call that was never returned, they gave me a free code for "Tax Pro Review" since the rep was not qualified to answer my question about the worksheet. (For some foreshadowing, this "pro" is actually... -

I've done this before, only to find a one-thousand dollar mistake that he made, but thanks for the tip. -

Discrepancies in worksheets (both from IRS)
FYI, I re-did the HRB sections and to no avail. I put in a request with customer service, should hear back in 48 hours. I think I'll be using TurboTax next year, unless this turns out to be my fault. Will let you know what they say. -

Discrepancies in worksheets (both from IRS)
Right, but HR Block is not using that worksheet from Pub 509. They are using the Instructions worksheet. I will try to re-do my Form 2555 to see if that changes anything. Maybe it's wrong because answered their questions out of order. -

Discrepancies in worksheets (both from IRS)
Ah, thank you! But that means H&R Block is wrong? I have checked the PDF version of my return before submitting (I haven't submitted yet), and they are clearly using the form from the Instructions, not Pub 509--and yet the Form 2555 is included in the return, so I know that I filed it. How can... -

Discrepancies in worksheets (both from IRS)
Right, but the standard worksheet also calculates the largest deduction (and for people covered by employer plan). So, they are functionally the same. But why does the standard worksheet (in 1040 Instructions) NOT take into account the excluded income from Form 2555, while the other worksheet... -

Discrepancies in worksheets (both from IRS)
Yes, this is what I'm trying to figure out. The titles are slightly different, but don't they serve the same purpose? What am I missing? I posted the forms here for convenience (https://ryansphotoperday.blogspot.com/2021/05/oid.html) (click on them to see them more clearly), but the real crux of... -

Discrepancies in worksheets (both from IRS)
Hello again, I find myself needing to use the IRA Deduction Worksheet, but I found two versions which are frustratingly different: #1: "Worksheet 1-2. Figuring Your Reduced IRA Deduction for 2022" found here: https://www.irs.gov/publications/p590a#en_US_2022_publink1000230468 #2: "IRA... -

"Taxable" vs. "Includible" Compensation?
Thank you, but that begs the question of why they choose to call it "includible compensation" rather than just "compensation"? Is it to prevent contributions, for example, that come from income that has been excluded by the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion? Or would such excluded compensation be... -

"Taxable" vs. "Includible" Compensation?
Hello, I sure wish the IRS would clarify their language. I just want to confirm something. Scenario A: I am able to earn a taxable total of $5k for the year, contribute the full $5k to my Traditional IRA, and pay no taxes. Here, my contribution is limited to my "taxable compensation" for the... -

Is a Donor Advised Fund (DAF) really worth it?
Hello, and thanks in advance for your reply. I have been reading about donor-advised funds (DAFs), but I'm failing to see any real advantage. I understand how "bundling" works, but I could also bundle directly to charities with the same effect of maximizing my giving, right? It seems the only... -

What is the real effect of reinvested dividends on separate property?
Maybe this varies from state to state, but let's say a young chap owns a brokerage account worth 1 million dollars of various securities before his marriage. For a couple of months after his marriage, the dividends are reinvested into the same account, totaling a few hundred dollars. Then, he...- ryanf1475

Do I really need a lawyer for prenup?
I know the general advice is not to use a template from the internet for a prenup, but can anyone give me more insight about why not? I live in New Jersey. Is it really worth paying a lawyer several thousand dollars to create / review the contract? Thank you.- ryanf1475
