"1.I am a partner in a family-owned commercial rental building. The building is held in a holding company called Lauer Holdings, LLC. My 3 sisters are also partners. I devote roughly 10 hours per month to this activity. This business/ building is located at 404 S. Main St. Kouts, IN 46347. I never conduct partner duties during training hours. I evaluate real estate transactions and determine which properties to purchase. 2.I am a licensed CPA and I assist family and friends in preparing their taxes and/or helping with booking. I do not hold myself out as a business open for tax preparation. Only help family and friends if they request. I devote roughly 15 hours/month to this on average. 3.I am an adjunct professor for North Park University in Chicago, IL. I teach their individual taxation course. This part-time/ temporary employment. On average, 5hrs/mo."
