The Byrds provide over half of the support of their two children, Cynthia (born January 25, 1994, Social Security number 123-45-6788) and John (born February 7, 1998, Social Security number 123-45-6786). Both children are full-time students and live with the Byrds except when they are away at college. Cynthia earned $6,200 from a summer internship in 2018, and John earned $3,800 from a part-time job.

During 2018, the Byrds provided 60% of the total support of Bruce's widower father, Sam Byrd (born March 6, 1942, Social Security number 123-45-6787). Sam lived alone and covered the rest of his support with his Social Security benefits. Sam died in November, and Bruce, the beneficiary of a policy on Sam's life, received life insurance proceeds of $1,600,000 on December 28.

The Byrds had the following expenses relating to their personal residence during 2018:

Property taxes	$5,000
Qualified interest on home mortgage (acquisition indebtedness)	8,700
Repairs to roof	5,750
Utilities	4,100
Fire and theft insurance	1,900

The Byrds had the following medical expenses for 2018:

Medical insurance premiums	$4,500
Doctor bill for Sam incurred in 2017 and not paid until 2018	7,600
Operation for Sam	8,500
Prescription medicines for Sam	900
Hospital expenses for Sam	3,500
Reimbursement from insurance company, received in 2018	3,600

The medical expenses for Sam represent most of the 60% that Bruce contributed toward his father's support.

Other relevant information follows:

When they filed their 2017 state return in 2018, the Byrds paid additional state income tax of $900.

During 2018, Alice and Bruce attended a dinner dance sponsored by the Lowell Police Disability Association (a qualified charitable organization). The Byrds paid $300 for the tickets. The cost of comparable entertainment would normally be $50.

The Byrds contributed $5,000 to Lowell Presbyterian Church and gave used clothing (cost of $1,200 and fair market value of $350) to the Salvation Army. All donations are supported by receipts, and the clothing is in very good condition.

Via a crowdfunding site (gofundme.com), Alice and Bruce made a gift to a needy family who lost their home in a fire ($400). In addition, they made several cash gifts to homeless individuals downtown (estimated to be $65).

In 2018, the Byrds received interest income of $2,750, which was reported on a Form 1099INT from Second National Bank, 125 Oak Street, Lowell, MA 01850 (Employer Identification Number 98-7654322).

Bruce paid $400 for an annual subscription to the Journal of Franchise Management and $741 for annual membership dues to his professional association.

Neither Alice's nor Bruce's employer reimburses for employee expenses.

The Byrds do not keep the receipts for the sales taxes they paid and had no major purchases subject to sales tax.

All members of the Byrd family had health insurance coverage for all of 2018.

This year the Byrds gave each of their children $2,000, which was then deposited into their Roth IRAs.

Alice and Bruce paid no estimated Federal income tax. Neither Alice nor Bruce wants to designate $3 to the Presidential Election Campaign Fund.

Required:

Make realistic assumptions about any missing data.

If an amount box does not require an entry or the answer is zero, enter "0".

Enter all amounts as positive numbers.

It may be necessary to consider the information provided on other schedules before completing Form 1040 information.

When computing the tax liability, do not round your immediate calculations. If required, round your final answers to the nearest dollar.
