Shauna Coleman is single. She is employed as an architectural designer for Streamline Design (SD). Shauna wanted to
determine her taxable income for this year (2022). She correctly calculated her AGI. However, she wasn't sure how to
compute the rest of her taxable income. She provided the following information with hopes that you could use it to
determine her taxable income.
a. Shauna paid $4,688 for medical expenses for care related to a broken ankle in October. Also, Shauna's boyfriend,
Blake, drove Shauna (in her car) a total of 115 miles to the doctor's office so she could receive care for her broken ankle.
b. Shauna paid a total of $3,420 in health insurance premiums during the year (not through an exchange). SD did not
reimburse any of this expense. Besides the health insurance premiums and the medical expenses for her broken ankle,
Shauna had Lasik eye surgery last year and paid $3,020 for the surgery (she received no insurance reimbursement).
She also incurred $458 of other medical expenses for the year.
c. SD withheld $1,820 of state income tax, $7,515 of Social Security tax, and $14,580 of federal income tax from Shauna's
paychecks throughout the year.
d. In 2022, Shauna was due a refund of $258 for overpaying her 2021 state taxes. On her 2021 state tax return that she
filed in April 2022, she applied the overpayment toward her 2022 state tax liability. She estimated that her state tax
liability for 2022 will be $2,320.
e. Shauna paid $3,220 of property taxes on her personal residence. She also paid $508 to the developer of her
subdivision because he had to replace the sidewalk in certain areas of the subdivision.
f. Shauna paid a $208 property tax based on the state's estimate of the value of her car.
g. Shauna has a home mortgage loan in the amount of $224,000 that she secured when she purchased her home. The
home is worth about $404,000. Shauna paid interest of $12,380 on the loan this year.
h. Shauna made several charitable contributions throughout the year. She contributed stock in ZYX Corporation to the
Red Cross. On the date of the contribution, the fair market value of the donated shares was $1,080 and her basis in the
shares was $432. Shauna originally bought the ZYX Corporation stock in 2009. Shauna also contributed $308 cash to
State University and religious artifacts she has held for several years to her church. The artifacts were valued at $508
and Shauna's basis in the items was $308. Shauna had every reason to believe the church would keep them on display
indefinitely. Shauna also drove 200 miles doing church-related errands for her minister. Finally, Shauna contributed
$1,220 of services to her church last year.
i. Shauna paid $258 in investment advisory fees and another $158 to have her tax return prepared (that is, she paid $158
in 2022 to have her 2021 tax return prepared).
j. Shauna is involved in horse racing as a hobby. During the year, she won $2,520 in prize money and incurred $10,800 in
expenses. She has never had a profitable year with her horse-racing activities, so she acknowledges that this is a
hobby for federal income tax purposes.
k. Shauna sustained $2,020 in gambling losses over the year (mostly horse-racing bets) and had only $208 in winnings.
