She also worked part of the year for Delta Airlines. Delta paid her $10,000 in salary, and withheld federal income tax of $1,125, state income tax of $300, Cincinnati city income tax of $125, Social Security tax of $620, and Medicare tax of $145.
  3. The Gonzaleses received $800 of interest from State Savings Bank on a joint account. They received interest of $1,000 on City of Cincinnati bonds they bought in January with the proceeds of a loan from Third National Bank of Cincinnati. Page C-9They paid interest of $1,100 on the loan. Armando received a dividend of $540 on General Bicycle Corporation stock he owns. Lourdes received a dividend of $390 on Acme Clothing Corporation stock she owns. Armando and Lourdes received a dividend of $865 on jointly owned stock in Maple Company. All of the dividends received in 2019 are qualified dividends.
  4. Armando practices under the name Armando Z. Gonzales, DDS. His business is located at 645 West Avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio 45211, and his employer identification number is 01-2222222. Armandos gross receipts during the year were $111,000. Armando uses the cash method of accounting for his business. Armandos business expenses are as follows:

Advertising

$ 1,200

Professional dues

490

Professional journals

360

Contributions to employee benefit plans

2,000

Malpractice insurance

3,200

  1. In June, Armando decided to refurbish his office. This project was completed and the assets placed in service on July 1. Armandos expenditures included $8,000 for new office furniture, $6,000 for new dental equipment (seven-year recovery period), and $2,000 for a new computer. Armando elected to compute his cost recovery allowance using MACRS. He did not elect to use 179 immediate expensing, and he chose to not claim any bonus depreciation.
  2. Lourdess mother, Maria, died on July 2, 2014, leaving Lourdes her entire estate. Included in the estate was Marias residence (325 Oak Street, Cincinnati, Ohio 45211). Marias basis in the residence was $30,000. The fair market value of the residence on July 2, 2014, was $155,000. The property was distributed to Lourdes on January 1, 2015. The Gonzaleses have held the property as rental property and have managed it themselves. From 2015 until June 30, 2019, they rented the house to the same tenant. The tenant was transferred to a branch office in California and moved out at the end of June. Since they did not want to bother finding a new tenant, Armando and Lourdes sold the house on June 30, 2019. They received $140,000 for the house and land ($15,000 for the land and $125,000 for the house), less a 6 percent commission charged by the broker. They had depreciated the house using the MACRS rules and conventions applicable to residential real estate. To compute depreciation on the house, the Gonzaleses had allocated $15,000 of the propertys basis to the land on which the house is located. The Gonzaleses collected rent of $1,000 a month during the six months the house was occupied during the year. You may assume that the rental activity is considered an investment activity (not a trade or business). They incurred the following related expenses during this period:

    Property insurance

    $500

    Property taxes

    800

    Maintenance

    465

    Depreciation (to be computed)

    ?

  3. The Gonzaleses sold 200 shares of Capp Corporation stock on September 3, 2019, for $42 a share (minus a $50 commission). The Gonzaleses received the stock from Armandos father on June 25, 1993, as a wedding present. Armandos father originally purchased the stock for $10 per share on January 1, 1970. The stock was valued at $14.50 per share on the date of the gift. No gift tax was paid on the gift.
  4. Armando and Lourdes have given you a file containing the following receipts for expenditures during the year:

    Prescription medicine and drugs (net of insurance reimbursement)

    $ 376

    Doctor and hospital bills (net of insurance reimbursement)

    2,468

    Interest on credit cards (consumer purchases)

    595

    Cash contribution to St. Matthews church

    9,080

    Payroll deductions for Lourdess contributions to the United Way

    150

  5. The Gonzaleses filed their 2018 federal, state, and local returns on April 12, 2019. They paid the following additional 2018 taxes with their returns: federal income taxes of $630, state income taxes of $250, and city income taxes of $75.
  6. The Gonzaleses made timely estimated federal income tax payments of $1,500 each quarter during 2019. They also made estimated state income tax payments of $300 each quarter and estimated city income tax payments of $160 each quarter. The Gonzaleses made all fourth-quarter payments on December 31, 2019. They would like to receive a refund for any overpayments.
