@Jeremiah Hilliard, if you owned and lived in the home as a primary residence 2 of the last 5 years, you have a capital gain exclusion of $250k (gain) if you're single and $500k (gain) if you're married filing jointly on combined lien amounts up to $1.2MM on a primary and secondary residence. 

hi dan. i have run into similar situations here in the buffalo, ny area. basically, i go to the county records office and look up the recent info on the house. if there is a bank mortgage on it, they have to file paperwork with the county to register the lien on the deed. the most recent paperwork is likely your bank you will want to deal with. sometimes, neighbors know more than you think they do, so start knocking on doors too

Therefore, if you have income properties coming from 2 states, your accountant will need to file an LLC tax return in CA and need to separate out only the revenue from CA, otherwise, including revenue from other states will increase your chances of getting hit with the LLC fee.

It seems like you got one good lead from them that panned out and decided to file form 1065 immediately thereafter.  

Some countries do not require filing of tax returns so lenders here do not like to do loans for those overseas buyers.
