Eligible Dividends $ 7,920

Taxable Capital Gains 23,360

Because his farming activities are secondary to his business activities, his losses are restricted.

In each of the four years 2016 through 2019, Bob needs $24,618 in Taxable Income to absorb his personal tax credits.

When he has a choice, Bob would prefer to deduct maximum net capital loss carry overs. He will also carry back any current losses to the earliest possible year.

Prior to 2016, because of significant health issues, Bob had no amounts of Tax Payable. This means that it would not be useful to carry back any type of loss to years prior to 2016.

Required: Calculate Bobs minimum Net Income For Tax Purposes and Taxable Income for each of the four years. Indicate the amended figures for any years to which losses are carried back. Also indicate the amount and types of loss carry overs that would be available at the end of each year.
