Kacie Marie Czapla
TLC Law, PLLC
I am a tax attorney and CPA with a varied work experience. I spent multiple years working for PricewaterhouseCoopers in Houston in Mergers and Acquisitions. I also spent a couple of years teaching tax accounting at SFA; I still teach part-time at TJC. Although I no longer represent the Exxons of the world, my attention to detail and knowledge of the Internal Revenue Code is substantial. In my current practice, I focus on tax and business planning, estate planning, bankruptcy, and property issues in divorce.
I was raised in North Louisiana, but as a graduate of White Oak High School, I have East Texas roots. I graduated from the University of North Texas with a degree in economics, then attended the University of Wyoming for law school. People always ask me, "How did you end up in the North Pole?" Short story really--I worked for a Senate Committee and the Chairman, Mike Enzi was from Wyoming. Meeting him and so many other Wyoming staffers (including my husband) convinced me to enroll at UW. Immediately after graduation, I obtained a Masters in Tax Law from the most prestigious and recognized tax school in the country--the University of Florida. Although I was born into a family of Tigers, I became a Gator!

- Q. Can an LLC's donation of a service be tax deductible?
- A: Services are not an eligible deduction for the charitable contribution deduction. You would have to contribute cash or property. If the winning bid is greater than the value of the item bid on, that person may receive a charitable deduction for the extra piece, BUT there are many many hoops for them to jump through. Their CPA would have to answer that question.
- Q. Do I qualify for capital gains relief on sale of my rented house?
- A: Your CPA is probably correct (at least in part). It depends on how long you used it as a rental property. I published a article in the Tax Adviser on this code section (section 121). https://www.thetaxadviser.com/issues/2019/apr/involuntary-conversion-principal-residence.html
- Q. Is there anything that can be done about car dealerships that offer “guaranteed financing” then they do not honor it?
- A: The State of Texas is unique in that there is a division of the Attorney General's office that handles consumer protection issues. I would contact them.
