In 2016, David lost his job. David paid for one month of insurance out-of-pocket and then the family went without insurance for September through December 2016. They are not eligible for any exemptions from health care coverage.

Required:

Complete the Jaspers' federal tax return for 2016. Use Form 1040, Schedule A, Schedule B, Form 2441, the Shared Responsibility Payment Worksheet, and the Flat Dollar Amount Worksheet.

Make realistic assumptions about any missing data. If an amount box does not require an entry or the answer is zero, enter "0". Enter all amounts as positive numbers. If required, round any answer to the nearest dollar (unless instructed otherwise on the tax form). Assume alternative minimum tax is not a factor.
