The furniture is used 100% for business. It is seven-year MACRS property. Mr. Warden elects to expense $1,000 of the cost under Code Sec. 179. Mr. Warden elected not to claim the bonus depreciation available for any business property placed in service during 2011. On July 15, 2011, Mr. Warden purchased a pickup truck for use in his business. It was driven 8,000 miles. The truck, used 100% for business, cost $47,000 and sales tax was $3,000, for a basis of $50,000. The truck is considered ve-year MACRS property. Also, it falls in the classication of a light, general-purpose truck, subject to depreciation limits. On June 15, 2007, Mr. Warden purchased xtures for the store for $6,000. The current depreciation deduction for the xtures is $536. Mr. Warden bought a brick building on July 1, 1999, $75,000 of the price being allocable to the building for depreciation purposes. No capital improvements were made. Depreciation on the building is computed by using the MACRS method. The allowable MACRS deduction for 2011 would be calculated at the rate of 2.564%. Form 4684 On September 1, 2011, a garage that had been purchased for $25,000 on July 1, 2002 and used exclusively for Mr. Warden's business was damaged by re. In order to repair the garage after the re, Mr. Warden spent $7,795. The repairs are considered to be an improvement to the property, which, prior to the casualty, was being depreciated under the MARCS method for nonresidential property. The amount of depreciation claimed prior to 2011 was $5,422. Mr. Warden uses Form 4684, Section B, to determine the recognized casualty gain or loss from the re damage to the garage. Assume that the fair market value of the garage was $24,650 before the re and it had a fair market value immediately after the re of $14,760. Assume, in completing Form 4684, that the total amount of depreciation that Mr. Warden had claimed for the garage up to the date of the re was $5,876 and that he had received $5,000 from a re insurance policy he had on the garage. After the re, and taking into account the allowable loss deduction, the cost of repair and the insurance recovery, the new adjusted basis of the garage for depreciation purposes is $22,029. Since the basis had to be adjusted, the garage will be depreciated on a straight-line method for the remainder of the original depreciation period. The allowable MACRS deduction for 2011 would be calculated based on a rate of 3.33% per year using a mid-month convention. Form 4797 On January 3, 2011, Mr. Warden sold a business truck for $550. He had purchased the truck for $5,000 on March 12, 2002. Total depreciation allowed or allowable on the truck prior to 2011 was $5,000. 2012, CCH.

School Street, Batavia, IL 60510. The Smiths are both under age 65 and le a joint 2011 tax return. Martin is permanently and totally disabled because of a fall from scaffolding, and retired from his construction job on May 21, 2011. He obtained the required statement from his physician certifying his permanent and total disability in 2011. The statement is not led with the tax return. During 2011, Martin received $6,000 in taxable disability benets and $2,000 in nontaxable social security benets. The Smiths' adjusted gross income was $14,000 (Line 37, Form 1040). Because the Smiths are both under age 65 and only Mr. Smith is retired on permanent and total disability, they check Box 4 of Part I of Schedule R. FORM 2210 - UNDERPAYMENT OF ESTIMATED TAX BY INDIVIDUALS, ESTATES, AND TRUSTS (\"SHORT METHOD\") John Jackson, a single individual, (SSN 321-65-4987) is self-employed. Jackson resides at 1425 Champaign Drive, Lake St. Louis, MO 63367. For the 2011 tax year he made three estimated tax payments of $5,000 each, on April 15, 2011, June 15, 2011, and September 15, 2011. On January 3, 2012, there was a major re at Jackson's place of business (Jackson Enterprises). Because of the re, his accounting records were destroyed and Jackson could not accurately determine his January estimated tax payment. From the sketchy information available to him, he decided that a $5,000 estimated tax payment would be sufcient. The payment was made on January 17, 2012. In completing his 2011 return, Jackson determined that his income tax liability is $30,148 and his self-employment tax liability is $14,408. His adjusted gross income for 2011 was $139,979. Based upon these facts, Jackson determines that he is liable for a penalty for the underpayment of his 2011 estimated tax. However, he reached the conclusion that if he had access to his accounting records, he would have increased his January 17, 2012, estimated tax payment in order to account for an unanticipated increase in his net prot during the last quarter of 2011. Therefore, Jackson decides to ask the IRS for a waiver of the penalty because his underpayment due to a casualty. In completing Form 2210, Jackson checks box A of Part II to indicate that he is asking for a waiver of penalty. He is entitled to use the \"short method\" to compute the penalty because he made his estimated tax payments in four equal installments on the due dates. He does not have to compute the penalty because he is seeking a waiver. Instead, Jackson enters a penalty amount of \"$0\" on Line 17 of Form 2210. He is required to submit a statement explaining the reasons why he was unable to meet the estimated tax requirements and the time period for which he is requesting the waiver. Because his request for a waiver is due to a casualty, he must also submit documentation such as re department and insurance reports. The IRS will review the information and determine whether to grant his waiver request.

FORM 6251 - ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX - INDIVIDUALS Martin Worth (SSN 211-11-1112) is a single taxpayer who resides at 1325 Wisconsin Avenue, Milwaukee, WI 53201. In 2011, his adjusted gross income (as shown on Line 37 of his Form 1040) was $73,000. Worth claimed the following itemized deductions on Schedule A: Medical ($9,725 less $5,475 [7.5% of AGI]) .... $4,250 State sales tax .................................................... 708 Real estate taxes ................................................. 5,000 Home mortgage interest.................................... 9,350 Contributions ........................................................ 2,324 Unreimbursed employee business expenses ($6,460 less $1,460 [2% of AGI]) .... 5,000 Allowable itemized deductions......................... $26,632 For the purposes of this example, it is assumed that Worth's mortgage interest relates to the purchase of his home. Worth exercised an incentive stock option. At the time of exercise the fair market value of his company's stock was $100. His option was for 1000 shares, and the option price was $50 per share. The $50,000 of \"phantom income\" is entered on Line 14 of Form 6251. Worth's 2011 regular income tax is computed as follows: Adjusted gross income . . . . . . $73,000 Less: Allowable itemized deductions . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $26,632 Personal exemption . . . . . . . . . $ 3,700 Total deductions . . . . . . . . . . . . $30,332 Taxable income . . . . . . . . . . . . . $42,668 Based on his taxable income of $42,668, Worth's regular tax for 2011 is $6,794, and this amount is entered on Line 44 of Form 1040. In completing Part I of Form 6251, Worth enters $46,368 on Line 1 because this is the amount from Form 1040, Line 41. Worth determines that the medical expense adjustment to be entered on Line 2 is $1,825. He also enters his itemized deduction for taxes of $5,708 on Line 3. Since his home mortgage interest relates to the purchase of his home, no adjustment is entered on Line 4. The amount of miscellaneous itemized deductions is $5,000. With the addition of the $50,000 adjustment from the exercise of the incentive stock option, Worth's alternative minimum taxable income (AMTI) is $108,901 which is entered on Line 28. In completing Part II of Form 6251, Worth determines that his exemption amount for AMT purposes is $48,450. Thus, his tentative AMT on Line 33 is $15,717. However, his regular tax liability of $6,794 is subtracted from this amount. Thus, his alternative minimum tax of $8,923 is entered on Line 35 of Part II and is also carried to Line 45 of Form 1040. FORM 8829: EXPENSES FOR BUSINESS USE OF YOUR HOME Myra Loy is a self-employed accountant who resides at 1028 Butterway Road, Wheaton, IL 60188.

Ms. Loy's residence has an adjusted basis of $125,000 and a fair market value of $145,000 on the date rst used as a business. The value of the land on which the residence is located is $15,000.
