- Jane has a full‐time job employed as a teacher, but is an avid DIY renovator. In December 2015 she bought a bungalow, repainted it inside and out, and carried out a “makeover” of the garden while living in it. A real estate agent approached her and convinced her that she could make a quick profit if she put the house on the market. She did this in February 2016 and sold it for $100,000 profit after expenses. Encouraged by this, Jane plans to repeat the exercise on a regular basis. She asks you for tax advice, as she has heard that house sales can be taxable in some circumstances. What are the tax rules that apply specifically for sales of residential property? Will any of the exemptions apply to this sale or to future sales that Jane might make?Betty Boop started a small toy factory, Boopy Doop, Inc., in her garage and incorporated it in March of 2014 as a calendar-year corporation.

The computer cost $2,700 but had a fair market value of only $900 at conversion and the tools, which had cost $1,500, were valued at $1,100.

Her work is quite creative, and it has been so popular with friends and others that she has decided to quit her job with an aerospace company and manufacture pottery full time.
