@Eli JermanYes, you should hire a tax professional.

On top of that, hiring tribal members for construction or operations could qualify for employment-related tax credits.

Here's a good breakdown of your options for tax collecting starting Feb 1 based on the new regulations.

We affirmed the absolute rights, set forth in your State’s LLC Law, for ANY Member to request copies of the three most recent years Federal and State tax returns issued by the LLC. 

And you now have to file three tax returns:- partnership tax return- your individual tax return reporting 1/2 of the partnership losses- your partner's individual tax return reporting their 1/2 of the partnership lossesAnd while partnership return can be DIY-ed, it probably should not be.

If anyone can advise or give insight on both greatly appreciated 

If you haven't yet found a CPA or tax professional to help you save on your tax bill each year, would you want BP to help recommend a tax professional for you? 

Unfortunately, he got behind on property taxes and was struggling to keep up with maintenance, so the place was in rough shape.

Use that loan to pay the back taxes and get things under control.

He's a CPA with a focus on strategic tax planning.
