John Smith is 55 years old, married to Kim (age 50 years). Kims only income is $2,000 of interest income.

John is a lawyer with his own law practice. Johns net business income from his practice (a sole proprietorship) for the current year was $86,000.

John is also a partner in a restaurant business, which incurred a total net business loss of $18,000 in the current year; as a partner in this business, Johns share of this loss is $6,000. The restaurant business also incurred a large business loss in the previous taxation year, which John was not able to fully utilize on his prior years tax return; hence, John has a non-capital loss carryover balance of $2,000.

In the current year, John received interest income (which is property income) of $1,800 from TD Bank (a Canadian bank).

In November of the current year, John disposed of various shares and marketable securities, which resulted in a taxable capital gain of $8,000, and he disposed of land for an allowable capital loss of $5,000. John has a net (allowable) capital loss carry forward (realized five years ago) of $4,000, which John would like to use as soon as possible.
