(The client was too busy to calculate this figure and they have asked you to complete this for them as a separate engagement from the preparation of the tax returns) Detailed Task 1) After completing the few items that Daisy Music Village was not able to provide to you in its prepared draft financial statements, using only the blank forms available at: www.IRS.gov, prepare Daisy Music Village's Federal income tax return (Form 1120) for the 2019 Tax Year - including the following schedules and forms (you must attach these forms in the required order as detailed by the IRS): Schedule D Form 1125-A Schedule G Form 1125-E Form 3800 Form 4562 Form 4797 Form 5884 Form 8824 Form 8949 Form 8994 The required portions of Schedule M-3 2) For any part of the tax return where a statement is required, you must attach a statement to the end of the tax retum as the last attachment to the 1120 return (before the information returns) - with a reference to what form and line of the return it applies to, as well as the name of the taxpayer and the EIN of the taxpayer on the top of each statement page. 8 3) Also, [THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT] prepare and include filing extension forms for BOTH Form 1120 AND for the 1099 forms (two 1099-MISC forms and two 1099 DIV forms) for the 2019 tax year (attach these extensions behind the 1120 form (and behind the forms/schedules attached to the 1120)). You will also need to prepare the two 1099-MISC forms and two 1099-DIV forms If an extension form has a required date field on the form, use the date that would have been the last day that the extension form would have been required to be filed 4) All of the repairs and maintenance services were performed to Daisy Music Village by another corporation (Repairs R Us, Inc. - 578 Culture Drive - Jacinto, TX 75011; EIN - 77-1581297; Phone (713) 555-5556. 5) The entertainment expenses were for tickets for the Houston Rockets NBA basketball team. Daisy Music Village took out its biggest clients and vendors to discuss business matters at all of the games. 6) In addition to signing the tax return as the paid preparer, for purposes of this project also actually sign the return as the taxpayer (keeping in mind you would not do this in real practice). 7) You do not need to prepare any payroll tax returns or forms (such as the W-2 or W-3) for the client (Maggie handles the payroll tax returns herself for the corporation). Other Important Items: 1) The landlord for the warehouse that Daisy Music Village rents is Kevin Lee. Kevin's address is 578 Jay Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025. His tax ID is 20-1484863 and his phone number is (650) 555-8888. 2) All of the amounts paid in 2019 for accounting services was paid to Jones and Miller, LLP. 3) Daisy Music Village Corporation is not a subsidiary in an affiliated group or a parent-subsidiary group. 9 4) Daisy Music Village Corp. purchased 6,000 shares in Jadis Corporation, a U.S.-based corporation that specializes in the management of junkyards on October 5, 2012 for $60,000. Jadis Corp. had 19,500 shares outstanding throughout 2019. On October 31, 2019, Daisy Music Village received a $204,000 dividend check from Jadis Corporation. Jadis Corporation's Employer Identification Number is 77-2573648. 5) The two shareholders in Daisy Music Village Inc. had the same ownership in the corporation throughout the year. 6) Daisy Music Village has an $10,000 NOL carryover into the 2019 tax year. 7) For Schedule K of Form 1120, you are given that the answers to question nos. 14, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 and 25 are "no" and the checkbox to no. 8 is to be unchecked. 8) Your client has asked you to file the return with the fewest number of required schedules filled-out on the 1120 form as legally possible. 9) $60,000 of cash distributions from Daisy Music Village Corp. were made in 2019. Each of the two shareholders received cash distributions based on their percentage ownership in the corporation. All cash distributions were paid on December 30, 2019. 10)On 10/15/2001, the corporation issued common stock to its two initial (and still current) shareholders with the two shareholders paying the following amounts for the stock: $780,000 for Kimberly and $220,000 for Don 11) If there is an amount due for the year on the 1120, the client (as a corporation) will need to pay the IRS electronically (i.e., not via check). However, for purposes of this tax retum project, if tax is due for the year you do not need to prepare any payment documentation - simply show the amount due on the appropriate line(s) of the 1120 tax return accordingly. 10 Also, if tax is due for the year, you do not need to calculate any penalties or interest - just the base tax due. On the other hand, if there is a refund due to the client on the 1120 tax return for the year, the client wants to receive the refund in the form of a check (i.e. they do not want any portion of the refund credited to next year's Federal income taxes). 12)All amounts contributed to charitable organizations for the year were made in cash, all of the charities were IRS-qualified charities, and the charities all provided the client with the required documentation in a timely manner. 13)All wages paid to shareholders are ordinary, necessary, and reasonable in amount, with none being disguised dividends. 14)All expenses - including wages paid to shareholders - are ordinary, necessary, and reasonable, with none being disguised dividends. 15)None of the entertainment expenses are lavish or extravagant. 16)None of the wages are includable in cost of goods sold. 17) All of the corporate bonds that were owned either at the beginning of the year or at the end of the year mature more than five years after the end of the 2019 tax year and the client did not expect to sell them or convert any of them into cash until they mature. The small sale of corporate bonds in 2019 was unexpected and it was not easy to sell these particular bonds as they were not readily traded on an exchange (they were not liquid assets that were readily convertible into cash). 18)For Schedule K of Form 1120, you are given that the answers to question nos. 14, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 and 25 are "No" and the checkbox to no. 8 is to be unchecked. 11 19)For Schedule J, you can skip lines 3; 5a; 5b; 5d; 5e; 9a-9f; 10; 12; 13; 15; 17; 18; 20a-20d; 21and 22. Any other parts that are applicable in Schedule J must be completed. For a non-skip line in Schedule J, you will need to determine if a figure goes on that line. There is a possibility that at least one non-skip line in Schedule J is still not applicable. If not applicable, simply put "O" for that line. 20) For Form 3800, you skip: all of Part I (but put down O for line 6); Lines 10a-c, 18-26 and 31-35 of Part II 21) Your client allows you to discuss its tax return with the IRS. 22) The client has never had its financial statements audited nor has it ever had to restate its financial statements. Final Project Notes: 1) VERY IMPORANT: Your group must e-mail an electronic copy of the project to me by the due date and time (at the beginning of class) either through Canvas or at: joel.busch@sjsu.edu 2) Please have the group member names included in the e-mailed submission. 3) VERY IMPORTANT - You are to only work on this project only with your fellow group members. 4) Late submissions (after the beginning of class on December 1, 2020) of the project are subject to a significant reduction of points. 5) A separate peer-review report must be completed for each team member by each team member and e-mailed to me by December 3. 12 Business 123A Corporate Tax Return Project - Ver. 1.1 Facts You (The Paid Tax Preparer) Your name is William Baker.

(The client was too busy to calculate this figure and they have asked you to complete this for them as a separate engagement from the preparation of the tax returns) Detailed Task 1) After completing the few items that Daisy Music Village was not able to provide to you in its prepared draft financial statements, using only the blank forms available at: www.IRS.gov, prepare Daisy Music Village's Federal income tax return (Form 1120) for the 2019 Tax Year - including the following schedules and forms (you must attach these forms in the required order as detailed by the IRS): Schedule D Form 1125-A Schedule G Form 1125-E Form 3800 Form 4562 Form 4797 Form 5884 Form 8824 Form 8949 Form 8994 The required portions of Schedule M-3 2) For any part of the tax return where a statement is required, you must attach a statement to the end of the tax retum as the last attachment to the 1120 return (before the information returns) - with a reference to what form and line of the return it applies to, as well as the name of the taxpayer and the EIN of the taxpayer on the top of each statement page. 8 3) Also, [THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT] prepare and include filing extension forms for BOTH Form 1120 AND for the 1099 forms (two 1099-MISC forms and two 1099 DIV forms) for the 2019 tax year (attach these extensions behind the 1120 form (and behind the forms/schedules attached to the 1120)). You will also need to prepare the two 1099-MISC forms and two 1099-DIV forms If an extension form has a required date field on the form, use the date that would have been the last day that the extension form would have been required to be filed 4) All of the repairs and maintenance services were performed to Daisy Music Village by another corporation (Repairs R Us, Inc. - 578 Culture Drive - Jacinto, TX 75011; EIN - 77-1581297; Phone (713) 555-5556. 5) The entertainment expenses were for tickets for the Houston Rockets NBA basketball team. Daisy Music Village took out its biggest clients and vendors to discuss business matters at all of the games. 6) In addition to signing the tax return as the paid preparer, for purposes of this project also actually sign the return as the taxpayer (keeping in mind you would not do this in real practice). 7) You do not need to prepare any payroll tax returns or forms (such as the W-2 or W-3) for the client (Maggie handles the payroll tax returns herself for the corporation). Other Important Items: 1) The landlord for the warehouse that Daisy Music Village rents is Kevin Lee. Kevin's address is 578 Jay Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025. His tax ID is 20-1484863 and his phone number is (650) 555-8888. 2) All of the amounts paid in 2019 for accounting services was paid to Jones and Miller, LLP. 3) Daisy Music Village Corporation is not a subsidiary in an affiliated group or a parent-subsidiary group. 9 4) Daisy Music Village Corp. purchased 6,000 shares in Jadis Corporation, a U.S.-based corporation that specializes in the management of junkyards on October 5, 2012 for $60,000. Jadis Corp. had 19,500 shares outstanding throughout 2019. On October 31, 2019, Daisy Music Village received a $204,000 dividend check from Jadis Corporation. Jadis Corporation's Employer Identification Number is 77-2573648. 5) The two shareholders in Daisy Music Village Inc. had the same ownership in the corporation throughout the year. 6) Daisy Music Village has an $10,000 NOL carryover into the 2019 tax year. 7) For Schedule K of Form 1120, you are given that the answers to question nos. 14, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 and 25 are "no" and the checkbox to no. 8 is to be unchecked. 8) Your client has asked you to file the return with the fewest number of required schedules filled-out on the 1120 form as legally possible. 9) $60,000 of cash distributions from Daisy Music Village Corp. were made in 2019. Each of the two shareholders received cash distributions based on their percentage ownership in the corporation. All cash distributions were paid on December 30, 2019. 10)On 10/15/2001, the corporation issued common stock to its two initial (and still current) shareholders with the two shareholders paying the following amounts for the stock: $780,000 for Kimberly and $220,000 for Don 11) If there is an amount due for the year on the 1120, the client (as a corporation) will need to pay the IRS electronically (i.e., not via check). However, for purposes of this tax retum project, if tax is due for the year you do not need to prepare any payment documentation - simply show the amount due on the appropriate line(s) of the 1120 tax return accordingly. 10 Also, if tax is due for the year, you do not need to calculate any penalties or interest - just the base tax due. On the other hand, if there is a refund due to the client on the 1120 tax return for the year, the client wants to receive the refund in the form of a check (i.e. they do not want any portion of the refund credited to next year's Federal income taxes). 12)All amounts contributed to charitable organizations for the year were made in cash, all of the charities were IRS-qualified charities, and the charities all provided the client with the required documentation in a timely manner. 13)All wages paid to shareholders are ordinary, necessary, and reasonable in amount, with none being disguised dividends. 14)All expenses - including wages paid to shareholders - are ordinary, necessary, and reasonable, with none being disguised dividends. 15)None of the entertainment expenses are lavish or extravagant. 16)None of the wages are includable in cost of goods sold. 17) All of the corporate bonds that were owned either at the beginning of the year or at the end of the year mature more than five years after the end of the 2019 tax year and the client did not expect to sell them or convert any of them into cash until they mature. The small sale of corporate bonds in 2019 was unexpected and it was not easy to sell these particular bonds as they were not readily traded on an exchange (they were not liquid assets that were readily convertible into cash). 18)For Schedule K of Form 1120, you are given that the answers to question nos. 14, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 and 25 are "No" and the checkbox to no. 8 is to be unchecked. 11 19)For Schedule J, you can skip lines 3; 5a; 5b; 5d; 5e; 9a-9f; 10; 12; 13; 15; 17; 18; 20a-20d; 21and 22. Any other parts that are applicable in Schedule J must be completed. For a non-skip line in Schedule J, you will need to determine if a figure goes on that line. There is a possibility that at least one non-skip line in Schedule J is still not applicable. If not applicable, simply put "O" for that line. 20) For Form 3800, you skip: all of Part I (but put down O for line 6); Lines 10a-c, 18-26 and 31-35 of Part II 21) Your client allows you to discuss its tax return with the IRS. 22) The client has never had its financial statements audited nor has it ever had to restate its financial statements. Final Project Notes: 1) VERY IMPORANT: Your group must e-mail an electronic copy of the project to me by the due date and time (at the beginning of class) either through Canvas or at: joel.busch@sjsu.edu 2) Please have the group member names included in the e-mailed submission. 3) VERY IMPORTANT - You are to only work on this project only with your fellow group members. 4) Late submissions (after the beginning of class on December 1, 2020) of the project are subject to a significant reduction of points. 5) A separate peer-review report must be completed for each team member by each team member and e-mailed to me by December 3. 12Step by Step Solution
