Determine the tax consequences (including character) of the transactions described above. I believe the best thing to do is to create a grid analyzing income categories (like those created in the lectures and homework) and provide a key to each transaction and explanations below the grid. If there are long-term capital gains, please specify the rate(s) for such gains. Simple citation or labeling (e.g., 1231 or capital) will suffice. You do not have to actually compute a tax - notation of rate category will suffice. If something is vague or you feel an explanation is warranted, a simple discussion or bullet point will suffice. Provide all your work on this problem in one spreadsheet (Excel) or Word document (do not provide numbers in Excel and explanations in Word). If you use open source documents or Apple products - no worries - I can open them. If you are working with Google docs, you can provide me with a link. Do not upload .pdfs.
