I checked it out pretty good and decided it was way to much a pain in the as.As in your question way to many things to go wrong and there are many Lawyers that buy all the good stuff up.Don't fall for it sounds like easy money but only for the people that want to sell you the courses and books.

ok, you need to get the records from the court houses from the counties that you are interested in buying from. the records you need are the delinquent taxes. you then pay the taxes and this is a lien on the property. you can name the interest on the money if they pay you back or you own the property.  you may want to also seek some legal advice on this matter before you get too involved so you are doing this right.\n\nthere is also a list of propetties in the newspapers around tax time.

I faced that same situation and realized that the $50 or so a month that you pay a place like ADP to do all the paperwork, file the tax forms, send in tax payments, cut checks for you, and send you W2 forms and year end summaries is a good deal.\n\nI found that when I did it myself I was spending a lot of time unproductively doing clerical work and that made the use of a company like ADP very cost-effective. Plus if anything goes wrong they just whip out their paperwork and show the IRS that all was done properly. Doing that on your own is a major headache..

Yes, but they are not normally issued to individuals.  \n\nYou can get them, but they charge an extra fee.

Is this a liquidating or nonliquidating distribution?  Was the land purchased inside the partnership? Or purchased by one of the partners ten years ago and contibuted to the partnership in the ten years since purchase?\n\nSorry but we really need more information to give relevant tax issues advice.\n\nEdit:\n\nOK - so a nonliquidating (or operating) distribution - Partnership continues to exist with exact same owners and percentages after distribution as before the distribution.  \n\nYou absolutely do not want a disproportionate contribution because things can get a little ugly under IRC section 751 with that so my recommendation would be distribute based on partnership percentages.  This can be done in two ways - distribute land in 50, 40, 10 amount and have 40% partner buy 10% partners share or distribute cash and land to even up percentages. \n\nLet's start with the all land distribution - You will show land removed from books (credit land) for $100,000 the opposite side will be debits to A (50%, B (40%) and C's(10%) capital accounts for $50,000, $40,000 and $10,000.  Each of the partners will reduce their outside basis by that amount (50k, 40k or 10k) and that will be their basis in the parcel of land they own.  (CAUTION: If any of these partners has an outside basis less than the land distributed they will, as someone said earlier, have a taxable event and will need to pay capital gains on the excess distribution!!) Now C sells his land to B for the 10k basis and has no taxable event and B's basis in the land becomes $50k (the same as A's) - (Another CAUTION: If B has intentions to sell the land shortly the portion purchased from C is now SHORT-TERM and will result in ordinary income!).  You say that the land is valued at $200k so the "deferred" tax will be picked up when each of these partner's sells their land and has to pick-up capital gain.\n\nNow the second option: you will make the total distribution to the three partner's 120k.  A's distribution will be 60% of the land - book value $60k, 50% of distributions; B's distribution will be 40% of land and $8k cash - book value $48k, 40% of distributions; C's distribution will be $12k cash - book value $12k, 10% of distributions.  Once again everyone will reduce their outside basis by the distribution amount and once again there will be no taxable event as long as the distributions DO NOT exceed outside basis.  Your journal entry will be a credit to land for $100k; a credit to cash for $12k; a debit to A's partner capital account for $60k; a debit to B's partner capital account for $48k and a debit to C's partner capital account for $12k. A and B will have deferred gain on the land that will become a taxable event when they sell the land for a gain.\n\nHopefully this covers it - if you have more questions - add details and I'm sure I (or one of the other tax professionals here) can clarify. (Also if you are set on keeping the land a 50/50 split just say that and I can give you the journal entry)

During tax time, you can usually find them at any Office supply store. I know Office Depot carries them, but if you just need one, call an accountant, they usually have them laying around or will charge you a small fee to fill it out for you.  There are 2 parts, the part you give to the employee(1099) and the part you have to send to the IRS, telling them you gave your employee a 1099.  I would call around to an accountant, eapecially if you've mever done it before, if you make a mistake filling out, it can ba a big hassel to correct it witht the IRS.  Yours might be simple, see if the assistant at the accounting office can show you, they may be halpful,  if you are paying for a form.  Accountants also, have forms like that on disk, they pay big moeny for that, so don't be mad if they charge you $14.00 for it, anything over that might be rediculous, unless they are explaining the whole thing to you then you need to pay for their time.  In ending you may find them on the IRS web site.

My experience has been that the IRS does a VERY thorough job of matching 1099's to tax returns. I've been notified by the IRS about 1099's they recieved that I was unaware of. In that instance it was an error on the part of the reporting company that accidentally attributed income to me. However, I have found that the states do a very poor job of this, since apparently they only get 1099 information that in some way is connected to their state. I have had one state in particular ask me for a tax return based on a 1099 from that state when in fact I was not a resident and had no qualifiable income. I had issued another 1099 from within my state that balanced out the first. I suspected that the problem might have been that the two 1099's were handled by different regional offices of the IRS so while one state thought I was raking in the dough, my home state  probably thought I was losing my shirt. The money had simply passed thru my hands as part of a real estate transaction. In any case, don't count on the IRS not noticing, they most certainly will!!!

Call the county (or State) tax department and ask if they auction  tax liens.....some do and some don't. Some auction the property for complete ownership to pay the tax lien, some don't....depends on the county/state\n\nMike\n\n====================

I have assisted clients in the past with this--your question is too broad to really answer properly. \nWhat did you wish to know?\nIt is critical that they be set upcorrectly, and most are set up illegally according to US laws, viewed as only for tax evasion!

They are auctioned at the clerk of the courts office. My county does it once per year. You will need to call them to see how often they due it and how to register. There are some great books out on it though. SOme investors fly to other states to do it. Texas has a great program and so does Florida. Nevada is quite good also.
