Matthew's 2018 bonus was $6,000 (received in 2019), and his 2019 bonus was $7,000 (received in 2020).

This total includes a $3,000 payment for work she performed in 2018 and does not include $5,000 she billed in December for work performed in late 2019. In addition, Courtney has a $6,400 unpaid invoice for work done in 2017. This client was convicted of arson in August 2016 and is now serving a 5-yeur sentence in a state prison.

She uses the standard mileage method to deduct business costs related to the Acura. During 2019, Courtney drove the car a total of 10,000 miles When the Mumfords purchased their home on February 2, 2017, they set aside 300 square feet (out of a total of 2,400 square feet) of living space for Court- ney's office. The Mumfords do not use the simplified method for computing the home office deduction. As of January 1, 2019, the home had an adjusted basis of $240,000 ($40,000 of which is attributable to the land for purposes of line 37 of Form 8829.

On June 29, 2019, she pur- chased a fireproof file cabinet for $800 to safeguard the blueprints of her struc- tural designs and construction plans. Whenever possible, Courtney prefers to avoid depreciating capital expenditures over time One of Courtney's dients was interested in building a shopping center on a tract of land she owned in Lincoln County Courtney inherited the property from her uncle when he died on June 6, 1999. At that time, the land was valued at $40,000 It has since heen rezoned for commercial use and has a current value of $200.000 On February 10, 2019.

This content is not final and may not match the muliche FI 5 6 On September 2, 2019, Courtney sold a tract of land in McCook County to a farmer who owned the adjoining property. The land was inherited from the same uncle who died in 1999 and was valued at $30,000 on June 6, 1999. Under the tens of the sale, Courtney received cash of $20,000 and a note receivable to be paid in four equal installments at 1-year intervals from the date of sale. Each note calls for the payment of $25,000 plus simple interest of 8%. To the extent allowed by law, Courtney wants to defer recognition of gain for as long as possible. In early 2018, Matthew learned that one of the restaurant's best servers, Mindy Smith, was suffering domestic abuse at the hands of her husband Billy. When Billy started to abuse their 5-year-old daughter as well, Mindy decided it was time to leave. Before they left on April 14, 2018, Matthew loaned Mindy $5,500 to help her relocate with her daughter. Matthew had her sign an interest-free note due in 1 year. Matthew never heard from Mindy again. In late 2019, Matthew learned that Billy tracked Mindy and their daughter down and killed both of them before committing suicide. Given these tragic circumstances, Matthew has no expecta- tion that the loan will ever be repaid. APPENDIX E Practice Set Assignments --Comprehensive Tax Return Problems 7. On August 5, 2017, Matthew purchased 1,000 shares of Farmers Markets America (FMA) common stock for $16 a share as part of its initial public offering. The corporation was formed to establish and operate farmers' markets in mid-size cities throughout the United States.

Matthew was pleasantly sur- prised when Sarah paid him back (plus interest of $500) on December 20, 2019. On March 20 of each year, Courtney's parents send a generous gift of cash as a birthday present. Just as she has done for the past 7 years, Courtney immediately invested the cash in her children's $ 529 college savings plans. 9.
