Meet the Moore Family. Your assignment is to prepare the couple's federal income tax return, Form 1040 for the year ended December 31, 2018. Please utilize the facts below and the information included in the Tax Project file attached for assignment. We will be using the 2018 federal income tax forms, rates and laws. With the new tax law changes at the beginning of this year, the 2018 tax forms are currently in draft form only (see attachment below). Since they are in a draft format, you will need to improvise to create spreadsheet which resembles the 2018 federal income tax return (Line by Line) to calculate the 2018 federal income tax liability for Mr. & Mrs. Moore. Please complete Project 1 and submit it by uploading the assignment by the required due date.
