Can I Sell My House With A Tax Lien?
There are a few options for dealing with a tax lien before the sale can close. These options are: One – Dispute the tax lien with the IRS, Two – Request a certificate of discharge from the IRS, which will detach the lien from the house so that it can be sold, but does not absolve you from the tax debt. Three – Satisfy the delinquent tax and pay off the debt. Four – Pay off the lien amount at closing. Five – Wait for the debt to expire if the tax lien is low.
Who Gets to Claim the Child on Taxes With 50/50 Custody?
It overall depends on the agreement. Generally, the parent who has custody for the greater part of the year gets to claim the child as a dependent. According to the IRS “Custody Ratio Tiebreaker Rule”, if custody is split exactly 50/50, the parent with the higher adjusted gross income (AGI) gets to claim the child for tax purposes.
