Total federal income tax liability 13-64: Betty, whose tax rate is 33%, is in the business of breeding and racing horses. Except for the transactions below, she has no other sales or exchanges and she has no unrecaptured net Sec. 1231 losses. Consider the following transactions that occur during the year: A building with an adjusted basis of $300,000 is destroyed by fire. Insurance proceeds of $500,000 are received, but Betty does not plan to replace the building. The building was built 12 years ago at a cost of $430,000 and used to provide lodging for her employees. Straight-line depreciation has been used. Four acres of the farm are condemned by the state to widen the highway and Betty receives $50,000. The land was inherited from her mother 15 years ago when its FMV was $15,000. Her mother purchased the land for $10,300. Betty does not plan to purchase additional land. A racehorse purchased four years ago for $200,000 was sold for $550,000. Total depreciation allowed using the straight-line method amounts to $160,000. Equipment purchased three years ago for $200,000 is exchanged for $100,000 of IBM common stock. The adjusted basis of the equipment is $120,000. If straight-line depreciation had been used, the adjusted basis would be $152,000. An uninsured pony, with an adjusted basis of $20,000 and FMV of $35,000, that her daughter uses only for personal use is injured while attempting a jump. Because of the injury, the uninsured pony has to be destroyed by a veterinarian. 13. Question a- What amount of Sec. 1245 ordinary income must be recognized? 14. Question b- What amount of Sec. 1250 ordinary income must be recognized? 15. Question c- Will the loss resulting from the destruction of her daughter's pony be used to determine net Sec. 1231 gains or losses? 16. Question d. For purposes of computing a Section 1231 gain or loss, INCLUDE any unrecaptured Section 1250 gain, if any, in a Section 1231 gain, if any. Per the IRC, an unrecaptured Section 1250 gain is part of the Section 1231 gain, but is taxed at a higher maximum tax rate of 25%. 17. Question e- After all of the netting of gains or losses is completed, will the gain resulting from the involuntary conversion of the building be treated as LTCG? 18. Question f- What is the amount of her Sec. 1231 gain that is unrecaptured Sec. 1250 gain? 10-48: John and Ellen Brite (SSN 000-00-1111 and 000-00-2222, respectively) are married and file a joint return.

The purchase price included the following: New store building $60,000 (FMV) Land 18,000 (FMV) Equipment (5-year recovery) 11,000 (FMV) Inventory: 3,000 light bulbs $ 6/bulb (cost) On June 30, 2015, Brite-On sold the 7-year recovery period equipment for $12,000. Brite-On leased a $30,500 car for $500/month beginning on January 1, 2015. The car is used 100% for business and was driven 14,000 miles during the year. Brite-On sold 8,000 light bulbs at a price of $15/bulb during the year. Also, Brite-On made additional purchases of 4,000 light bulbs in August 2015 at a cost of $7/bulb. BriteOn had the following revenues (in addition to the sales of light bulbs) and additional expenses: Service revenues $64,000 Interest expense on business loans $4,000 Auto expenses (gas, oil, etc.) $3,800 Taxes and licenses $3,300 Utilities $2,800 Salaries $24,000 John and Ellen also had some personal expenses: Medical bills $4,500 Real property taxes 3,800 State income taxes 4,000 Home mortgage interest 5,000 Charitable contributions (cash) 600 The Brites received interest income on a bank savings account of $275. John and Ellen made four $5,000 quarterly estimated tax payments. For self-employment tax purposes, assume John spent 100% of his time at the store while Ellen spends no time at the store. Additional Facts: Equipment acquired in 2010: The Brites elected out of bonus depreciation and did not elect Sec. 179. Equipment acquired in 2015: The Brites elected Sec. 179 to expense the cost of the 5-year equipment but elected out of bonus depreciation.

Depreciation including Section 179 deduction 21. Deductible lease expense (reduced by lease inclusion) 22. Recognized gain on sale of 7 year equipment 23. Total itemized deductions after AGI limitations (assume AGI is 80,326) 24. Income tax per 2015 MFJ rate schedule in this semester's textbook inside cover.

Also use all other information required from the inside cover of this semester's textbook for standard deduction, personal and dependency exemption and phase-outs. 25. Self-employment tax (see discussion 7-11 and 7-12 and Chapter 14). Use inside cover of textbook to compute social Security -2015 and Self-Employment Tax -2015 rates and dollar limitations.
