If you and your spouse own a long-held home, rental property, or brokerage account that has gone up significantly in value, the bigger tax problem ahead may not be estate tax. It may be capital gains tax.

Florida now allows married couples to use a Community Property Trust that can improve the income tax basis adjustment at the first spouse's death. In the right case, that may reduce or even eliminate capital gains tax if the surviving spouse later sells.

But it is not a universal solution. Tenants by the entirety, Florida homestead, divorce risk, and the realistic likelihood of a future sale all matter. For most Florida couples, the planning is asset-by-asset.

Our latest article breaks down who should consider this planning, the major tradeoffs, and the common misconceptions.

Owe the IRS more than you can pay? You have probably seen ads promising to settle for "pennies on the dollar."

Here is the honest version. An Offer in Compromise can be a real solution, but it is not a discount program, and it is not guaranteed just because you owe a lot or hire a firm. The IRS only accepts an offer when your finances, compliance history, and legal basis genuinely support it.

Our new article explains, in plain English, when an OIC works, what it costs, what the IRS reviews, and the obligations that continue for five years after an offer is accepted. It also covers the alternatives, because sometimes a different option is the better result.

If you owe back taxes and want to know whether an Offer in Compromise is realistic, AnidjarLaw can review your situation before you spend time and money on the wrong strategy.

When a loved one passes away, most families don't realize there's a 10-day legal clock already ticking.

Under Florida law, anyone who has custody of a decedent's original will must deposit it with the clerk of court within ten days of learning of the death. It's not optional. It's required by Florida Statutes § 732.901.

And what happens if the original can't be found? Florida law still gives families a path forward, but it looks very different from a standard probate.

We just published a new guide on the AnidjarLaw blog covering both scenarios:
- What to do when you have the original will
- How to properly file it with the court
- What happens when the original goes missing
- When intestate administration becomes the fallback

If you're navigating this right now, or want to be prepared before you have to be, this one is worth a read.

Two quick questions for our Florida neighbors:

Do you own your home in Florida? Are you married, with savings or accounts in both your names?

If you said yes to either, Florida law may already be protecting hundreds of thousands of dollars of your assets, without you having paid a cent to set it up.

But here's the part most people miss: those protections only work if they're set up correctly. And most folks don't find out theirs aren't until a lawsuit, a judgment, or a title company at closing forces the issue.

We just published a plain-language article walking through how the Florida Homestead Exemption and Tenancy by the Entirety actually work, the four most common mistakes that quietly destroy these protections, and the 45-day procedure that can clear a judgment off your closing without paying it.

If you're a homeowner, married with joint accounts, a business owner, or about to sell or refinance a home, this is worth a read.

Two deadlines every Florida business owner should have on the calendar this month:

📅 Florida annual reports — due May 1st
📅 Delaware franchise tax — due June 1st

They sound like routine paperwork. They are not.

Missing the May 1st deadline can lead to late fees, administrative dissolution, and the loss of your active status, which can disrupt banking, financing, licensing, and any deal you have in motion.

And the same is true for the governance side of your business. Operating agreements, bylaws, meeting minutes, resolutions. These are the documents banks ask for, buyers demand during due diligence, and courts examine when ownership disputes arise.

This applies whether you run a corporation with a board, an LLC with a partner, a family business owned between spouses or siblings, or a single member LLC where you are the only owner. The principles are the same. So are the risks.

We just released a full guide breaking down the deadlines, what is really at stake, and what Florida courts have actually said about businesses that let governance documentation slip.

Did you pay IRS penalties or interest for a tax deadline that fell during the COVID-19 period?

Two recent federal court decisions may give you grounds to ask for that money back. But there is a deadline, and it is closer than most people realize.

Our latest article explains what Abdo and Kwong actually held, who stands to benefit, and why July 10, 2026 is the date practitioners are watching.

One of the most underutilized tools in retirement tax planning? The Qualified Charitable Distribution.

For IRA owners age 70½ and older, a QCD allows you to transfer funds directly from your IRA to a qualifying charity, completely excluded from gross income.

The benefits go beyond a simple deduction:

• It can satisfy Required Minimum Distributions
• It lowers your Adjusted Gross Income
• It works even if you take the standard deduction
• It may reduce your Medicare premiums through lower IRMAA thresholds

The annual limit is $100,000 per taxpayer, now indexed for inflation, and the rules must be followed precisely to qualify.

We put together a comprehensive article walking through how QCDs work, who is eligible, the one-time split-interest election, and the most common mistakes to avoid.

Big news for parents and families with young children.

The U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS recently announced a new pilot program that would deposit $1,000 into a special investment account for every eligible child born between 2025 and 2028. The program is called the Trump Accounts Contribution Pilot Program, and it comes at no cost to qualifying families.

But here is the key: it is not automatic. A parent or guardian has to file an election with the IRS to set up the account and request the deposit. And timing matters. According to historical data cited in the proposed regulations, a $1,000 investment made at birth could grow to over $6,000 by the time the child turns 18. Wait too long and that number drops significantly.

We broke down everything you need to know in a detailed guide on our blog, including who qualifies, how to file using the new IRS Form 4547, important deadlines, and what this $1,000 could realistically grow into over time.

Co-own property in Florida with someone who won't cooperate? You're not stuck, but waiting usually makes things worse.

Carrying costs keep adding up. Relationships get more strained. And the longer a co-ownership dispute goes unresolved, the harder it becomes to untangle.

In our latest article, we explain what a partition action is, when it applies, and why addressing the situation early can lead to better outcomes, whether that means a negotiated resolution or court intervention.
