Are you lucky to be alive and taking care of your taxes? Toby Mathis and Jeff Webb of Anderson Advisors answer your tax questions. Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.

Highlights/Topics:

If a non-profit (NP) organization opened a trading account and got options income less than $50,000, does the NP file an income tax return (besides a 990-N)? If you have gross receipts less than $50,000, you only need to file a 990-N (e-Postcard)
Are losses from gambling deductible? If you have gambling losses, they are deductible on Schedule A as long as you have gambling winnings on tax return
I have a rental property that is owned by my self-directed IRA. Does it need to be in an entity or is it safe in the IRA? Individual owner of an IRA is always personally reliable for the acts of the IRA, so put in an LLC or self-directed IRA
How do you claim the solar credit on your personal residence? Use Form 5695 - Residential Energy Credits; put in how much you paid for solar and multiply times percentage credit (26%)
Doing a cost segregation on a condo that was purchased out of my inherited trust to pay off other beneficiaries. Can I take bonus depreciation? Yes, and you can write-it off twice if you inherit it
Can I include my roof replacement for the solar tax credit? You can write-off roof if for dual usage; roof replacement is not part of the solar installation and labor
How is the in-home office deduction being treated since most of us have been working from home? Still a red flag for realtors? If you are an employee, there is no home-office deduction; the home office is only for sole proprietors and if you’re being taxed on Schedule C and receive a 1099, then you can deduct reasonable expenses
