Can someone help me fill out the tax forms for this problem, please?

Warner and Augustine Robins, both 33 years old, have been married for 9 years. They live at 638 Russell Parkway, Macon, GA 31207. Augustines Social Security number is 445-81-1423 and Warners is 798-09-8526. Warner is the president of Dragon Lady Corporation located in Macon. The Dragon Lady stock is owned 40 percent by Warner, 40 percent by Augustine, and 20 percent by Warners father. Warners Dragon Lady wages and income tax withholding for 2016 are:

Earnings from Dragon Lady

$151,700

Federal tax withheld

8,000

State tax withheld

3,970

The Robins other income includes interest on a savings account at Georgia National Bank of $450. In April, Warner canceled a small certificate of deposit at Georgia National Bank and had to pay a $320 penalty on this early withdrawal of savings.

During the year, Warner and Augustine paid the following amounts (all of which can be substantiated):

Home mortgage interest

$34,800

Real estate taxes on personal residence

5,650

General state sales tax

2,120

Auto loan interest

4,800

Medical insurance

10,400

Other medical expenses

3,600

Income tax preparation fee

750

Charitable contributions:

A painting to the Macon Museum of Arts for exhibition (fair market value established by qualified appraisal)

34,550

Church

2,600

Tree Huggers Foundation (a qualified charity)

3,000

Central Georgia Technical University

5,000

Safe-deposit box

300

The tax basis for the donated painting is $25,000 and the painting has been owned by Warner and Augustine for 5 years.

Dragon Lady does not cover health insurance for its employees. In addition to Warner and Augustines health insurance premiums shown above, Augustine required surgery which cost $6,720 for which only $3,100 was covered by insurance. Warner had to drive Augustine 258 miles each way to a surgical center.

On January 1, 2016, Warner sold land to Dragon Lady Corporation for $75,000. He acquired the land 5 years ago for $160,000. No Form 1099-B was filed for this transaction.

Dragon Lady Corporation does not have a qualified pension plan or Section 401(k) plan for its employees. Therefore, Warner deposited $11,000 ($5,500 each) into traditional IRA accounts for Augustine and himself (neither are covered by a qualified plan at work).

Required: Complete the Robins federal tax return for 2016. Use Form 1040, Schedule A, Schedule B, Schedule D, and Form 8949 to complete this tax return. Make realistic assumptions about any missing data and ignore any alternative minimum tax. Do not complete Form 8283, which is used when large noncash donations are made to charity
