Noah (731-23-2104) and Lauren James (734-23-1111)(both under 65 years old) are married with two children, Gabriella (734-23-2222) who is eight years old, and Ian (734-23-3333) who is 12 years old. They live at 14 Elizabeth Way, Adams, TN 37010. They sold the following investments during the current tax year. They received Forms 1099-B for each of these, but the forms indicated that the investment company did not report the bases to the IRS. Note that the basis and price are for the total amounts, not per share. 100 shares RST Corp.acquired on11/10/2022 Basis $5,859 Sold on 8/8/2023 Price$3,310.60 shares Alf Corp acquired on 10/18/2022 Basis $1,520 sold on 10/15/2023 Price $1,764. $1,000 bond, TF Co. acquired on 5/4/2021 Basis $624 Sold on 10/15/2023 Price $1,261.50 shares Lee Corp. acquired on 9/15/2015 Basis $3,919 Sold on 11/14/2023 Price $5,836.20 shares Red Corp. acquired on 7/1/2015 Basis $2,136 Sold on 12/6/2023 Price $ 926. The Jameses carried over a $625 short-term capital loss and a $1,214 long-term capital loss from the previous tax year. They also had $1,400 of ordinary dividend income, which does not include any qualified dividends and $1,600 of interest income which includes $500 of tax-exempt interest.
Noah had taxable wages of $70,125 with $602 withheld for federal income taxes, and all FICA taxes were correctly withheld and reported. He does not have a retirement plan at work.
Lauren was a full-time student pursuing a degree in education and paid $10,400 in tuition. She attended school at the University of Tennessee - Adams (EIN 67-7891234, address: 123 College, Adams, TN 37010) for ten months full-time, but took two months in the summer off. She did not keep track of the cost of books, and she received no scholarships. She is a sophomore, but the previous year was on a full scholarship so she didn't have any education expenses. You may assume she received a 1098-T and any other required paperwork and has never taken any education credits or deductions in the past.
They paid $4,750 for childcare while she attended school. The childcare center is named Children First, its EIN is 56-6789123, and its address is 27 Michael Drive, Adams, TN 37010. They made charitable contributions during the year of $1,800 in checks to Toys for Tots and $700 of children's clothing to Goodwill (valued using the thrift-store method). They also paid $1,540 of interest on Noah's student loans. They also each contributed $1,800 to an IRA. They do not own a home. They own one car, and the license plate fee this year was $300, of which $120 was ad valorem. The sales tax rate in their location is 9.5%.
They had no virtual currency transactions during the year.
