U.S. Tax Law with 2019 Revisions

Comprehensive Problem 4-2B

In 2019, Professor Patricia (Patty) Pt retired from the Palm Springs Culinary Arts Academy (PSCAA). She is a single taxpayer and is 62 years old. Patty lives at 98 Colander Street, Apt. 206D, Henderson, NV 89052. Professor Pt's Social Security number is 565-66-9378. In 2019, Patty had just a few months of salary from her previous job:

Wages	$9,800
Federal tax withheld	450
State tax withheld	0

Patty owns a rental condo located at 392 Spatula Way, Mount Charleston, NV 89124. The condo rented for 60 days of 2019 for $850 a month but a mold problem was discovered in the condo, her renters moved out, and she was unable to rent the apartment after the repairs (although she vigorously pursued new tenants). Patty actively manages the property herself. The following are the related expenses for the rental house:

Real estate taxes	$3,900
Mortgage interest	9,100
Insurance	561
Depreciation (assume fully depreciated)	0
Homeowners' Association dues	1,260
Repairs	1,195
Gardening	560
Advertising	1,200

The condo was purchased on August 31, 1980. Professor Pt handles all rental activities (e.g., rent collection, finding tenants, etc.) herself.

In 2019, Patty sold her beloved home for almost 30 years for $380,000 on February 27, 2019. Her basis in the home was $120,000 and she acquired the home sometime in July of 1989 (she could not remember the day).
