I live in south florida and my family has been evicted for awhile now and weve been living in our business warehouse to keep the business alive and to keep us from being in the streets. Can i legaly live here temporarily since my mother is disabled and im her representative payee and the business is all under my name.

Now that income tax season is around they ask me for proof of living with my family since im the one whose legally financialy taking care of my brother.

All im asking is if i can put that im living in my business warehouse in the income tax return without them denying me.

>> No.1135268

What does your tax preparer say? You are less likely to be audited if you use one and they'll know a lot more about current FL tax law than 4chan.

Check your local zoning regulations. But seriously who is going to know and who is going stop you?

>I can put that im[sic] living in my business warehouse in the income tax return without them denying me.
For tax reasons your perfectly fine. Mayhaps there is a delay and you receive an audit due to the oddness of your circumstance. The IRS is not in the business of enforcing zoning laws.

What im worried about is if they give the heads up to local zoning officials in my area which then will lead to them booting me out and closing me down. Its all i have left in this world.

Have any friends that you can say you live with? Or other family?

>> No.1135287

cant you get a mail forward put on your old address? be easiest.

doubt Tax GAF either desu, but, better safe than sorry, esp if what you are claiming for depends on your living with your family. Assuming the warehouse is rented? - its your landlord/ local officials you should be worried about it. One person, OK - entire family, that aint gonna go good for long.. you need to start planning for not being dependent on living there, while you still got a roof under which to do so.

There is a low chance of getting an audit and an even lower chance that the auditor will go out of there way to fuck you over like this. Would not worry about it.

If you can't live there, get a bullshit Secuirty Guard licence. Then just say you're the on site security.

see all that? unless your zoning allows for it, nobody gives a fuck what the deal is with your mom or brother. and if you ARE meant to take care of them legally, you can be charged with criminal negligence. you're a fucking idiot if you think anybody gives a fuck what your sob story is. but, more accurately, you're probably scum and you're just looking to dodge paying for real living cause you're a greedy cocksucker. If you can afford to have a business with a warehouse, you can save a few thousand for an apartment. and if your business isn't giving that kind of money, then it's failing and you need to get a real job.

Jesus fuck you're a scumbag.

The problem is that he doesn't have a residence. Security guards are supposed to have homes themselves.

AFAIK the irs won't give a shit about code compliance. Not their problem.

Also, that warehouse gives me flashbacks of playing Halo for some reason.

P O box for mail, park the car inside the warehouse, because you don't want anything from the outside to look unusual from the past when you were not living there (don't have lights going on and off or TV/radio blaring from the outside after business hours). If anyone asks, you have a big order to fill and you are working late to finish the paperwork...

im gonna have to agree with anon.
the government doesnt give a shit about your situation, and will take everything you have.
if the business isnt making you enough profit to have a place to live, then it needs to go.

>> No.1137928

if you have some useful machinery/tools look to renting your place out a few days a week as a "maker space" and change a few dollars for membership. that should be enough to rent a cheap 1 bedroom place.

Said by two /biz/tards who have never run a business. Lots of business lose money during certain times of the year. Tourism businesses during the off season, specially stores that make their money during the Christmas season for starters. Anon is doing what it takes to stay afloat and take care of family. Good luck to you.

sure, but the ones owned by homeless people are failures.

>> No.1138218

this has way less to do with zoning being a issue then it has to do with fire code, the building inspector would boot you way faster then zoning boards would, the fire marshal does not make exceptions for shit like this, lots of people die every year trying to live like this, make shift kitchens start fires in building with minimal smoke detection, since warehouse fire safety laws are minuscule compared to housing.

you could get booted and a massive fine from the fire marshal, even worse if you are taking care of dependents and you have them living in a hazardous condition. some states would even give you jail time for shit like this, might not be fair but its dumb to risk it.

Besides, audits are rather costly for the IRS, unless you run a multimillion dollar business, it's not worth it for them.

>> No.1139233

Perhaps 'rent' somewhere for few weeks involved in the form, so you have a listed address? If you can spare enough for that, even something really shitty, wouldn't that look relatively normal? Sorry if this is useless, I'm not American, and you situation sounds fucked and as someone who cares for a parent I'm truly sorry to hear of your troubles.
