Age Social Security Number 42 40 The Family (Guy) Members Father Peer Griffin 11-11-1111 Lois Pewterschmidt Griffin Mother Khild Child 222-22-2222 Meg 17 333-33-3333 444-44-4444 14 Chris Cild: Dog Stewie 1 S55-55-5555 Brian 7 n'a At year end, Peter Griffin is a safety inspector at the Happy-Go- Lucky Toy Factory. Peter Griffin's employment status has been very unstable, with sporadic periods of unemployment and numerous career changes. In years past, Peter has worked at the Pawtucket Patriot Brewery, the El Dorado Cigarette Company and the New England Patriots-just to name a few Lois Pewterschmidt Griffin is a home economist who loves to shop During the year, Lois discovered eBay- a shopper's dream! In addition to making eBay purchases, Lois sold various baby items that Stewie had outgrown (e.g. bassinet, clothing, rattles, etc.). Most of the items sold were new when purchased for Stewie because the Griffins did not keep any of Meg and Peter's baby items. Basically, after being totally disappointed by their first two children, the Griffins were certainly not planning to have a third child (i.e. Stewie was an "oops"). In any case, Lois was amazed at how easy it was to sell items on eBay. As you may or may not know, Lois was born into the wealthy Pewterschmidt family. In order to marry Peter (and who would not want to marry that hunk of burning love...), Lois had to give up her parental inheritance. However, Lois' father apparently forgot to delete Lois as a beneficiary on his life insurance policy. During the year, Lois' father died and Lois received $500,000 as one of the beneficiaries of his life insurance policy. During the year, the Griffin family had the following inflows and outflows of cash: INFLOWS: Peter salary from Happy-Go-Lucky Toy Factory (reported on Form W-2) Federal income tax withheld 88,000 7,550 5,880 5,456 1,276 RI State income tax withheld Payroll tax withheld: OASDI Payroll tax withheld: Medicare Peter unemployment compensation Lois proceeds from eBay sales 4,100 Chris wages- bag boy at Dave's Marketplace 6,600 9,700 Lois sale of Hasbro, Inc. stock (100 shares at $110 per 11,000 share) Sold 2/14/2018; Purchased 3/09/2013 at S70 per share Peter sale of JCPenney, Inc stock (500 shares at $2 per share) Sold 12/22/2018; Purchased 12/30/08 at $35 per share 1,000 Lois dividends from Hasbro, Inc. stock investment 600 Personal interest income from the Bank of Robbers (reported on Form 1099-INT) 1,800 Lois proceeds as beneficiary of father's life insurance policy 500,000 Federal income tax refund, received July 1, 2018 (on behalf of 2017 tax year) 4,400 OUTFLOWS (in alphabetical order): Contributions (paid by check) to Cartoon Revival Church (S75 / week) Contributions (used household items) to Save the Monkey Charity yard sale (Basis S3,000; FMV s450) Credit card interest 3,900 600 Groceries for family Medical and dental (after insurance reimbursements) 15,600 Peter 1,700 8,800 2,200 Lois Meg Chris none Stewie none Brian 500 Rent expense.

Medical Expense Information. Peter is overweight, a heavy drinker and accident prone. Therefore, it is no surprise that Peter had many medical procedures during the year, including a vasectomy. Peter refused to have marital relations with Lois after the vasectomy. Lois channeled her frustration into eating. She gained weight rapidly which caused her to have a heart attack which caused her to have open-heart surgery. The surgery was performed in Boston which required three round trips at approximately 50 miles each from Quohog, RI. Through diet and exercise, Lois returned to her normal weight. After Lois' fiasco she warned Meg that "eating to solve problems is the wrong thing to do" (ouch!). With that type of mother-loving-care, it is no wonder that Meg sees a psychiatrist twice a week. While Chris probably should also be receiving psychiatric care, neither he nor Stewie had any medical issues during the year. Finally, Brian has been described as "a dog who has a wit as dry as the martinis he drinks." Brian's medical expenses were for routine veterinary procedures.
