Part 1- Tax Computation

Compute Dan and Freidas 2014 icome tax payable (or refund due) If you use tax forms for the computations you will need Form 1040 and Schedules A, B and E

Part 2 Tax Planning

Dan plans to reduce his work schedule andonly work half time for WJJJ in 2014. He has been writing songs for several years and wants to devote his time to developing a career as a songwriter. Because of the uncertainty in the music business, however, he would like you to make all computations assuming that he will have no income from song writing in 2014. To make up for the loss of income Freida plans to increase the amount of time she spends selling real estate. She estimates that she will be able to earn $90k in 2015. Assume that all other income and expense items will be approximately the same as they were for 2014. Assume that Sam will be in enrolled in college as a full time student for the summer and fall semesters. Will the Butlers have more or less disposable income (after Federal income tax) in 2015? Write a letter to the Butlers that contains your advice and prepare a memo for the tax files.

**Please help! It will be much appreciated!! A filled out 1040 form / Sched A / Sched B based off of this problem or even just Tax Computations for the Net payable (or refund due) for 2014 will be very beneficial/helpful.
