* Debra inherited the LLP stock and the QQM stock when her father passed away on May 1, 2016. Debras father purchased the LLP stock in 1965 for $35,000. The FMV of the LLP stock at the date of death was $415,500. The QQM stock was purchased by Debras father on February 6, 2015, for $49,000. The FMV of the QQM stock at the date of death was $49,600.

Debra also sold her wine collection for $38,000. She had purchased the wine on January 5, 2011, for a total of $19,000. Debra has a capital loss carryover from 2015 of $11,700: $3,000 short-term and $8,700 long-term. Debra rents a condo (no mortgage interest) and lives in Florida (no state income tax). Thus she claims the standard deduction. Complete the 2016 tax return for Debra Simon. You do not need to complete the loss carryover worksheet but do need to enter the carryover amount in the appropriate place on Schedule D. She wants to contribute to the presidential election campaign and does not want anyone to be a third-party designee. Debra had qualifying health care coverage at all times during the tax year. For any missing information, make reasonable assumptions. (List the names of the taxpayers and any income they receive in the order in which they appear in the problem. Round all intermediate calculations to the nearest whole dollar value. Input all the values as positive numbers unless otherwise stated in the forms.)
