PrepareForm 8949, Schedule D, and Form 4797for the taxpayer, being careful to fill in all applicable boxes. Use tax year 2015 forms.

Taxpayer Mark Mullins/Your Name, SS# 111-23-4444

When preparing Form 8949, assume for simplicity purposes that none of these transactions were reported to the taxpayer on a Form 1099-B.

For any scenarios in which not all dates are provided, make up a date that fits with the scenario for reporting on any applicable IRS forms. (For example, scenario e states the land was purchased 4 years ago; so an assumption of any day in 2009, like June 30, 2009 for example, would be acceptable.)
