Pertinent information about the rental house is as follows: Address: 1237 Pineapple St., Lihue, HI 96766 Net rental income Mortgage interest Real estate taxes Utilities Maintenance $20,65 0 7,900 2,300 2,125 2,900 The house is fully depreciated so there is no depreciation expense.

He is not covered by a qualified retirement plan at work. Irene had a retirement plan at the job from which she was laid off on January 2, 2015. The plan had a balance of $24,000.

Chapter 5 The following additional information is available for the Dr. Ivan and Irene Incisor family from Chapters 1, 2, 3 and 4. Ivan and Irene paid the following in 2015 (all by check or can otherwise be substantiated): In June, Ivan purchased a new professional digital SLR camera for $6,980. While the Incisors were on vacation in August, someone broke into their residence and stole the camera.

Be sure to save your data input files since this case will be expanded with more tax information in later chapters. Chapter 6 Ivan's grandfather died and left a portfolio of municipal bonds. In 2015, they pay Ivan $80,000 in tax-free interest. Since the bonds are private activity bonds, the $80,000 is a tax preference for purposes of the AMT. Assume for Chapters 6, 7, and 8 that Ivan's federal income tax withholding from his wages is $12,000, not $6,000. Required: Combine this new information about the Incisor family with the information from Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 and complete a revised 2015 tax return for Ivan and Irene.

The home equity interest of $900 on the purchase of an automobile is not deductible for AMT (see line 4 of Form 6251). Please also note that Page 2 of Form 6251 must be filled in to calculate the lower AMT amount on qualified dividends and that the Saver's Credit still applies. Chapter 7 On November 14, Irene purchased the building where her store is located. She paid $230,000 for the building and $100,000 for the land it is located on. Irene's store is the only business in the building. Ivan owned 1,000 shares of Behemoth Airline stock with a basis of $30 per share. The stock was purchased 6 years ago on June 10. Ivan sells 500 shares of Behemoth stock to his uncle Seth and 500 of the shares to his sister Sara for $5 per share on December 31, 2015. Assume for purposes of the continuation of this problem and the problem in Chapter 8 that the Incisors do not have $80,000 in private activity bond interest income. As a result, no AMT will be due. Required: Combine this new information about the Incisor family with the information from Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 and complete a revised 2015 tax return for Ivan and Irene. Be sure to save your data input files since this case will be expanded with more tax information in the next chapter. Chapter 8 from Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.

His basis in the land was $90,000. On August 1, 2015, he sold the land for $150,000 on the installment method. Ivan received $52,500 in the year of sale, and the balance was payable at $9,750 per year for the next 10 years, plus a market rate of interest. On May 15, 2015, Ivan and Irene sold their personal residence for $585,150 and purchased a new house for $725,000. They had owned the old house for 20 years and it had an adjusted basis of $35,075. The house had been their personal residence for all the years they were married. They moved into the new house on May 18, 2015. Required: Combine this new information about the Incisor family with the information from Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 and complete a revised 2015 tax return for Ivan and Irene. No AMT is payable.
