Problem Answer In integrative problem 86 in Chapter 4, you were asked to calculate Carmin's gross income for 2013. This is the second phase, which provides the additional information necessary for you to calculate her taxable income, income tax liability, and additional tax (or refund due). NOTE: The gross income items from problem 86 still apply. However, some additional items might affect the amount of gross income that Carmin must report. That is, several items included in the gross income from integrative problem 86 are either not reported as gross income or need to be combined with the additional information in this problem to determine the correct treatment. Therefore, you should make the appropriate adjustments to gross income in integrative problem 86, and begin your tax calculation under the heading of Gross Income from Problem 86, As Adjusted. From this point on, any items of gross income from the information in this problem should be listed to determine gross income for tax purposes. You do not need to list all the individual gross income items from integrative problem 86 in your solution. However, you should explain the adjustments made to the phase 1 gross income figure as part of your discussion of the solution.

In filing her extension on April 15, 2013, she makes a state tax payment of $245 and a federal tax payment of $750. Her return is eventually filed on June 25, 2013. In August 2013, she receives a federal refund of $180 and a state tax refund of $60. Carmin pays $1,980 in real estate taxes on her principal residence.

She apparently interrupted the burglar because all that's missing is an antique brooch she inherited from her grandmother and $300 in cash.
