Question number 5 ( Color Paint Shop ) Color Paint Shop, Inc. is an accrual basis taxpayer that paints automobiles. During 2018, the company painted Sams car and was to receive $1,000 payment from his insurance company. Sam was not satisfied with the work, however, and the insurance company refused to pay. In December 2018, Color and Sam agreed that Color would receive $800 for the work, subject to final approval by the insurance company. In the past, Color had come to terms with customers only to have the insurance company negotiate an even smaller amount. In May 2019, the insurance company reviewed the claim and paid the $800 to Color. An IRS agent thinks that Color should report $1,000 of income in 2018 and deduct a $200 loss in 2019.
