    I have a small library of resources for these questions. I suggest you start one.

     

    "without thinking"." There are only a few tax issues that can be solved "without thinking."  What do you mean?

    Don't let the tax tail wag the dog.

    There are legal issues; fees, etc.

    I don't mean to be mean, but you need to do some research on your own.
