Your clients, Chandler and Monica Bing have hired you to complete their 2019 tax

return (2019 tax year). They wish to pay the minimum amount of taxes possible in this

tax year.

Disregard AMT.

They have provided you with the following information.

General information

(All ages as of Dec 31, 2019)

They provide the majority of the support and home for their two adopted children, Jack

and Erica. The children were NOT adopted in 2019.

They also provide 100% support for "Uncle Joey." Joey is not biologically the uncle to

Erica or Jack, but he does live with the Bings full-time in his "Joey room." Joey's only

source of income in 2019 is a settlement from a jam related injury he sustained in the

amount of $1,500 for bodily injury and $4,000 for compensatory damages.

Monica's mother, (Judith Geller) lives near Monica and Chandler in her own apartment

which Monica pays for ($15,000 per year - including utilities) starting in May after her

dad died. Except for $80,000 which Judith received in Sept. 2019 as an inheritance

from her deceased husband's estate (her husband died in May. 2019), she has no other

source of income (assume she receives no social security).

The Bing's friend Phoebe died in January 2019 and she left a lump sum of $200,000 in

life insurance proceeds to the Bings, which Chandler invested in mutual stock funds and

an interest-bearing cash account at Edward Jones - see below.

Monica's friend Richard gifted an antique mustache comb to Chandler. Its fair market

value is $1,100 and Richard's cost to acquire the comb was $50.

Chandler won $1,200 from a Texas Lotto game. He paid $250 total for several tickets

and retained the receipts. Chandler lost gross $300 rolling dice. He had no other

winnings and has documentation.

Chandler's information

Chandler works as an advertising executive. He received a W-2 (see attached).

Chandler is eligible for a bonus each year. Based upon his performance in 2019 he will

receive a $10,000 bonus. The bonus is paid in January 2020.

His firm does NOT reimburse him for any out of pocket expenses that he may incur.

Chandler adopted a duck and a chick from a local pet store. Adoption fees were $30.

Monica's Information

Monica is a cash basis, self-employed chef with her own restaurant. She didn't receive

any 1099-Misc forms, but her total deposits in her business bank account for 2019 show

$251,723. In addition to amounts collected from the restaurant, she also received a

payment of $5,000 in cash on Dec 31, 2019 from a former catering client for a catering

job she performed in late 2017. She did not receive a Form 1099 for this amount and

she did not put this amount in her bank account.

Monica rents a space to have her restaurant, but Monica also uses a small room (100
