George Large worked as a salesman for Toyboat, Inc. He received a salary of $80,000 ($8,500 of federal income taxes withheld and $1,800 of state income taxes withheld) plus an expense reimbursement from Toyboat of $5,000 to cover his employee business expenses. George must make an adequate accounting to his employer and return any excess reimbursement; none of the reimbursement was related to the meals and entertainment. Additionally, Toyboat provides George with medical insurance worth $7,200 per year. George drove his car a total of 24,000 miles during the year, and he placed the car in service on June 1, 2015. His log indicates that 18,000 miles were for sales calls to customers at the customers offices and the remainder was personal mileage. George uses the standard mileage rate method. Assume his business miles were driven evenly during the year. George is a college basketball fan. He purchased two season tickets for a total of $4,000.
