empty storefront-donation of space no rent

Our nonprofit 501 c 3 public charity status, a self-help group of persons, recently was given a donation of a place(empty storefront owned by a local businessman) to do a food distribution to the poor. We were there approx 5 maybe 6 months. Is the owner eligible for a tax donation for use of his property? He then had us move to a storefront next door for 3 months and on both occassion rented it to for profit businesses. We are currently without a place to distribute food. We would like your input about possibly giving him a tax receipt for the donation of his place. We are told the building are possibly an already tax write off since they were empty for a long period prior to our occupation. We only utilixe it 10 hours a week or less.

California FTB

How can I get a straight answer?

I coordinated the production of an event in 04/05 in San Diego, CA I was there for 5 days. I wanted to bring my own workers but by CA law was not allowed to so I followed the law and hired union workers to unload trucks, operate audio-visual equipment and load trucks. This is required by California law. I was in CA for a total of 5 days, have not been back since (over 3 years now) I have received a request to file a corp tax return for 2005 or answer questions verifying why I do not feel I need to file a corp tax return. After answering the questionnaire I felt certain this would just go away, but for months the FTB has continued to ignore me and send invoices demanding $35,000.00 be paid for the sales I made while in CA.

The sales were made in Texas to a Texas/New York corporation. and no sales were made while in CA.

By California definition I am a foreign entity. The franchise tax is imposed in this state and is measured by the income of the corporation from California sources. I generated NO INCOME from CA sources.

QUESTION: Can someone make this go away? at a reasonable cost.

Alternative Minimum Tax

If I am subject to paying the AMT and have legal fees pursing an employement claim for compensation, is there a means for me to claim these fees as a deduction? If so, on which line item of which form would I use to capture it?

quit claim

My mom owns a house that is paid for. Under the title, she placed ''unmarried'' even though she is married to my dad who lives in Taiwan and is not a citizen. About 2 years ago, she put my brother's name on the deed, hoping to eventually erase her name from the deed (because she feels badly about lying). But now, I guess it kind of looks like my brother is the husband...anyhow, she just wants her name off the deed with the least amount of tax remifications. She also wants to put my name on the deed, thinking that it might decrease the tax on the capital gain if we choose to sell it one day. Do you think that she could give it to us as a gift? The house is worth about 1 million dollars, and we bought it years ago for 400,000. Please let us know...thanks

Income taxes for deceased spouse

I have been physically but not legally separated from my spouse since 2005. He recently passed away and I have learned he has not filed his tax returns or paid any taxes (he was 1099 - self employed). I have filed separately and am concerned his tax liability may transfer to me since we married in the state of California; I currently reside in another state and have done so since Feb 2005. I am afraid to sign any tax forms; although its filing jointly. I also found INS is waiting on his taxes to be filed; he was sponsoring his brother to come and attend college (via a green card). He was self employed and also did not file corporate taxes for 2005 or 2006, may name was never tied to his business but since I am considered the surviving spouse will I be liable for it all? Thanks You
