Instructions Note: This problem is for the 2018 tax year. Logan B. Taylor is a widower whose wife, Sara, died on June 6, 2016. He lives at 4680 Dogwood Lane, Springfield, MO 65801. He is employed as a paralegal by a local law firm. For 2018, he reported the following receipts. Salary $ 80,000 $300 Interest income- Money market account at Omni Bank Savings account at Bosne State Bank City of Springfield general purpose bonds Inheritance from Daniel 1,100 3,000 4,400 Life insurance proceeds 60,000 200,000 80,000 9,000 Amount from sale of St. Louis lot Proceeds from estate sale Federal income tax refund (for 2017 tax overpayment) 700 In 2018, Logan inherited securities worth $60,000 from his deceased uncle, Daniel. Logan also was the designated beneficiary of an insurance policy on Daniel's life with a maturity value of $200,000. The lot in St. Louis was purchased on May 2, 2013, for $85,000 and held as an investment. Because the neighborhood has deteriorated, Logan decided to cut his losses and sold the lot on January 5, 2018, for $80,000. The estate sale consisted largely of items belonging to Sara and Daniel (e.g., camper, boat, furniture, and fishing and hunting X Instructions $80,000. The estate sale consisted largely of items belonging to Sara and Daniel (e.g., camper, boat, furniture, and fishing and hunting equipment). Logan estimates that the property sold originally cost at least twice the $9,000 he received and has declined or staved the same in value since Sara and Daniel died. Logan's other 2018 expenditures include the following. $11,500 Medical expenses (including $10,500 for dental services) Taxes $4,200 4,500 8,700 State of Missouri income tax (includes withholdings) Property taxes on personal residence Interest on home mortgage Contribution to church (paid pledges for 2018 and 2019) 5,600 4,800 Logan and his dependent were covered by his employer's health insurance policy for all of 2018. However, he is subject to a deductible, and dental care is not included. The $10,500 dental charge was for Helen's implants. Helen is Logan's widowed mother, who lives with him (see below). Logan normally pledges $2,400 ($200 per month) each year to his church. On December 5, 2018, upon the advice of his pastor, he prepaid his pledge for 2019. Logan's household, all of whom he supports, includes the following.

Asher, a son, is a full-time student in dental school and earns $4,500 as a part-time dental assistant. Mia, a daughter, does not work and is engaged to be married. Federal income tax of $4,500 was withheld from his wages. Required: Compute Logan's 2018 Federal income tax. If Logan has any overpayment on his income tax, he wants the refund sent to him. Assume that the proper amounts of Social Security and Medicare taxes were withheld. Logan does not want to contribute to the Presidential Election Campaign Fund.
