I am a Nonresident Alien and I live in Ensenada Baja California Mexico. I’m about to buy many electronics. Total value would be around $12,000 for my personal use. I am building my own house and I want to buy from SEARS in Chula Vista, California, but I don’t want to pay double tax (in the US and Mexico) since I am going to import the merchandise to Mexico. Is there any way to avoid the payment of taxes in Chula Vista?

Hello,

I am a Tunisian national on J1 Visa in the US. However, I have never paid taxes in Tunisia. I did my PhD and was working in France for 5 years paying taxes there. I got my visa in France. Is my tax residency France or is it Tunisia? Because if I claim it to be Tunisia, there is no two years tax treaty. If it's France, what documents I need to claim the tax refund?
Thanks

How would you close this Balance Sheet (B/S) asset on the Final Return for S-Corp?
Cost: 60K – Depreciation 32K = Book Value 28K

Auto Loan (Liability) – 22K

Auto was sold to the shareholder (S/H) for 45K (FMV).

How would you 1) zero-out this B/S item on S-Corp return, 2) where are proceeds flowing and 3) how would you show that S/H had assumed this liability (if needed)?
