Walter (age 55) is happily married to Skyler (age 47) Heisenberg and they have two children:Walter Jr. (21) and Todd (16)

Walter's SSN is given on his W-2, Skyler's is 555-88-1234, Walter Jr's is 555-99-3241, and Todd's is 555-00-0012.

Walter Jr. is a full-time student at UNM, he doesn't work and lives on campus (away from home).

Todd lives at home and makes $5,000 a year doing a paper route

Walter and Skyler also pay all long-term care expenses for Skyler's mother, Doris, and Skyler's cousin, Robert.The Heisenburg's pay 100% of each individual's total cost of living.

Walter has provided you with his W-2 and a 1099-INT (See supplemental file. The forms show the year 2015 on them but assume that they are for 2018)

Walter paid $15,000 in alimony and $12,000 in child support to his ex-wife Marie (SSN 455-85-6527) in 2018.

Walter received a state tax refund of $600 in 2018 from his 2017 state income tax return.Walter claimed $25,000 in itemized deductions in 2017 of which $4,500 was state income taxes.

Skyler runs a bookkeeping business from home.She has provided a hand-written sheet of expenses for the business.She uses the cash method to record income and expenses.She has owned and operated this business for several years and is not required to file 1099's.She wants to maximize her depreciation this year.Also, she says that she only sponsored her niece's soccer team because they agreed to put her company name on the back of their jerseys.Also, the "Home Internet Connection" is set up separately from their personal connection as Skyler doesn't like her business connection to be 'bogged down'. The Quickbooks course was taken at a non-accredited tech school and was only taken for her to help with her business.The tax prep fees are the amount that their past CPA charged just to prepare the Schedule C on their prior return.(see supplemental file)

Walter paid $500 in medical expenses this year (not including the long-term care costs mentioned above)

Real estate taxes on their personal residence totaled $2,450 and they paid $12,700 in mortgage interest on their personal residence.They also paid $12,500 to remodel the downstairs bathroom.

They paid $500 in property taxes on their personal vehicles.New Mexico assesses property taxes on vehicles based on the age of the vehicle.

Walter gave $5,600 in cash to the United Way this year.He also donated several hundred shares of stock that he has held for several years to his local church.The stock had an original cost of $1,050 and was worth $16,090 when he gave it to the church.
