Prepare the 2019 Federal income tax return for Janice Morgan. It is required that you submit both the (1) tax return and a (2) brief explanation for each line item on the return.

Please submit the following forms:

(1) 1040, (3) Schedule 1, (4) Schedule 2, (5) Schedule A, (6) Schedule C page 1, (7) explanation (including calculation) for each line item on each form and schedule. This explanation must include loss carryforwards and ending basis for limited partnerships. Additionally, a discussion of each of the above items must be made in the explanations (i.e. items 1 through 6). Normally, this tax return would require additional forms including schedule B, D, E, SE and form 4797, and 6198, etc. However, I do not require them. Instead, the required calculations/explanations will be sufficient.

Schedule 1 Hints:

1) The Net income from the Schedule C (Writers Anonymous) will go on Schedule 1, line 3

2) Schedule 1 line 5 will include the net income/loss from the limited partnerships. These

are NOT subject to Self-Employment tax as they are passive investments

3) There should be something in line 14 of schedule 1.

4) Schedule 2, line 4 is for the self-employment tax. SE tax is separate from and in addition

to the tax calculated on form 1040 line 12.

5) The taxpayer has a refund. Form 1040 line 20.

6) The FICA cap for 2019 is 132,900

7) Assume that Janice has adequate health insurance.

8) Do not forget the Qualified Business Income Deduction (new in 2018), line 10 form

1040. Assume Janice qualifies for this deduction. In Chapter 15, we can discuss the rules in more detail. Assume that the QBID is a deduction equal to 20% of Qualified Business Income (QBI). With QBI being equal to net total of Schedule 1 line 3, 5, and 14. That is line 3 + line 5 line 14.

9) Net capital gains is positive, and goes on form 1040 line 6.

10) The deductions for traditional IRA is on Schedule 1 line 19.

11) Dont forget to check the box for filing status (single, MFJ, HOH, or MFS).
