1Terry Greene, age 24, social security number 943-95-1210, is unmarried

2 Terry received his degree in accounting from Eastern University on May 7, 2017. The day after graduation, Terry rented a stretched limousine (cost $250 plus $60 for gasoline and $20 tip for the driver) to move himself and his personal belongings approximately 180 miles to Asheville in order to assume the presidency of Lakeway Products. A standard rental car would have cost Terry $50. On the way, Terry stopped for a meal that cost $10. Terry worked 30 weeks after graduation. Based on the financial strength of his ownership of Lakeway Products, Terry purchased his personal residence at 1478 Maple Avenue (ZIP code 28801) (only two blocks from his business) on July 17h for a $190,000 cash down payment and a $1,350,000 mortgage. Terry also paid $3,100 for attorney fees in connection with purchase of the property. The $190,000 came from the sale proceeds on June 2, 2017 from a house in Jamestown that Terry had bought on August 6, 2016 for $80,000 that he used as his principal residence during his senior year

3. Terry's aunt, Doris Freeman (Aunt Doris), died on December 2, 2016. Terry was the sole beneficiary of his aunt's $4,000,000 estate, primarily comprised of Lakeway Products, which is a proprietorship that sells flooring products at retail. Date of death valuation was used. The estate was settled and its assets were distributed to Terry on April 30, 2017.

4. During 2017, Terry provided over one-half of the support of his widowed mother, Irene, age 72, social security number 141-74-3621, who lived in a retirement community in Raleigh for the entire year. Irenes only income during the year was $3,975 from her taxable pension at Specialty Design Co., and $6,210 in social security benefits.

5. During Ashevilles annual Biltmore House Centennial Celebration, Terry was out of the country. Terry took advantage of his absence to rent his house for 7 days to a historical society that used the house as guest quarters and entertainment facilities for some of its associates during the celebration. Included in the total expenses of operating the house for the year are the following amounts allocable to the week of rental: $500 interest on house mortgage*, $250 real estate taxes*, and $113 for utilities/insurance and other forms of overhead.

6. In order to recover some of the costs of his gardening hobby, Terry occasionally sells some of the flowers to friends for special occasions, such as funerals and weddings. Receipts in 2017 were $1,400. Expenses for the gardens included $2,000 for purchases of plants, $3,200 for contract labor, $430 allocable real estate taxes* and $800 in chemicals (fungicides, fertilizers, etc.).

7. A tornado struck Asheville during September 2017 killing several stately trees at Terry's residence and at Lakeway Products. Costs of replacing the trees were $2,800 at Terry's residence and $2,400 at Lakeway Products. The replacements restored the properties to pre-storm values and that the cost bases attributable to the damaged trees were $4,000 and $4,300, respectively. After several months of negotiation, Terry collected $1,300 on April 5, 2018 from the insurance carrier for the loss at his residence. No further recovery is expected.

8. On August 13, 2017 Tony Jamison, a high school buddy, became enamored with Terry's Madison High School ring. Since Terry now wears his college ring, he sold the high school ring to Tony for $180 for which he paid $115 in May 2013. Also, on May 8, 2017, Terry sold Tony for $50, a bicycle which he used while Eastern University. Terry bought the bicycle for $310 on July 14, 2012.

9. On 6/1/17 Terry donated a painting inherited from Aunt Doris to the First Baptist Church, 412

Briarwood Lane, Asheville, North Carolina 28801. The church planned to sell the painting and use the cash to pay for new hymnals in memory of Aunt Doris. The painting appraised for $4,600. Its fair market value in Aunt Doris's estate was $3,100.
