I inherited an IRA from my mother who passed away last year. Do I have to pay taxes on the IRA Does it go directly on my Income Thanks.?

Yes, you will have to pay taxes. You can take the money lump sum and pay the taxes this year, or you can roll it over into an inherited IRA and pay the taxes as the money is distributed. You will be taxed at your normal marginal tax rate.


Can you give your property away owing taxes?

Yes, you can give your property away owning taxes, unless there is a lien or other legal document held by the IRS or taxing authority that prohibits you from doing so. Examples of such restrictions against giving the property away might be where your personal income taxes are delinquent or your property taxes are delinquent and the property is collateral guaranteeing payment of the debt.If the property is free of delinquencies, the person accepting the property is doing so subject to the outlying property taxes. For example, if you gave real estate to a person they probably need to pay the real estate taxes before they could purchase title insurance or mortgage the property.


What are the benefits of taxes?

Taxes are collected to run the country. They pay for Medicaid, Food Stamps, Section 8 Housing, and things that help support lower income families. They also pay the Salaries of the State Employees, from the Dog Catcher and Teachers to the Governor. They also pay Federal employees, from the Military to the President. Taxes benefits are not always obvious, but the above is what are some benefits, or people that benefit from them. National and State Parks are maintained by tax money. Museums and Historic districts are often maintained by tax money. Military equipment is paid for by tax money. Police officers and Firemen (if not volunteer) are paid with tax money. Roads are paved, and the winter snow is cleaned away with salt, plows, and employees paid by tax money. The problem with taxes is that, at times, the government wastes tax money on needless projects. They also use pork barrel spending to pay for projects in certain representative's districts, to get them to vote for certain legislation. This does not benefit all, and if you consider "The Bridge to No Where", sometimes, it is an obvious waste. Taxes have to be paid to keep the country running. And, the list of benefits can probably be added to.

How might loaning money to immigrants have helped the economy?
