Step 2 Tax Return Figures for 2020 Tax Forms

Form 1040

• Line 11, AGI $161,857
• Line 24, Total tax 30,660
• Schedule 1
• Line 22, Adjustments to income $13,253

Schedule A

• Total itemized deductions $40,400

Schedule C

• Line 28, Total expenses $23,790

Schedule D

• Line 16 $(6,100)

In the comprehensive problem, some amounts change. Please follow steps 1 and step 2

For example step 1,

Dan's commission is 150,000 instead of 125,000

Federal estimated tax payments are 26,000 instead of 20,000

State estimated taxes are 2,500 instead of 2,200

Taxpayers made 15,000 in cash contributions instead of 9,000

The amounts also change for Dan's activity trade stocks. You would follow step 1 under schedule D. and then Schedule C the square feet change as well to 3,000.

Now Step 2 is the figures for the 2020 tax return form, so, comprehensive problem and step 1 must match the amounts on Step 2
