Prepare the 2016 Federal income tax return for the Butlers. (1) Form 1040, (2) calculation of Capital gain (including LT or ST), and (3) calculation of tax

Hints: 1) Take the standard deduction

2) Dont forget to check the box for the filing status

3) Review the rules as for what qualifies as a student for purposes of the Qualifying Child tests.

See IRS publication 501 page 13. 4) Make sure you are not using 2017 information (i.e. personal exemptions, standard deduction, tax brackets etc.).

5) Normally interest and capital gains would require additional forms (Schedule B and Schedule D). However for this assignment do not prepare those forms/schedules, simply enter the appropriate amount directly onto form 1040.
