From her fathers estate, she received stock valued at $30,000 (his basis was $12,000) and her fathers house valued at $90,000 (his basis in the house was $55,000). 9.

10. Paige owns 1,000 shares of Grubstake Mining & Development common stock. Grubstake is organized as an S corporation and has 100,000 shares outstanding (S corp. ID number 45-4567890). Grubstake reported taxable income of $200,000 and paid a distribution of $1.00 per share during the current year.

The $150 fourth-quarter state payment was made on December 28, 2020. Paige would like to receive a refund for any overpayment. 14. Because of her busy work schedule, Paige was unable to provide her accountant with the tax documents necessary for filing her 2019 state and federal income tax returns by the due date (July 15, 2020).

As part of the refinancing arrangement, she also obtained a $10,000 home-equity loan. She used the proceeds from the home-equity loan to reduce the balance due on her credit cards.
