In addition, Larry's car (value =$15,000, cost = $20,000) was stolen during the year, and the insurance
reimbursement was only $7,000. He also had $2,000 of travel expenses related to his job that were not
reimbursed and $3,000 of federal income tax withheld from his salary.
He elects to treat his dividends as net investment income, so they are not subject to the special long-
term capital gains tax rates.
