Explanation of Solution

Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT): AMT is a tax system imposed by congress to collect a minimum amount of income tax for each year from the taxpayers who generated the income more than modest economics income. The AMT uses economic income as the tax base rather than the regular income tax base.

Determine the AMT adjustment for the year 1998 of F Acres.

Step 1: Determine the value of personal real property.

AssetAmount ($)
Total value of the apartment300,000
Less: Land(90,000)
Depreciable Basis of the Apartment210,000

Step 2: Compute the MACRS deduction for regular income tax.

The apartment purchased by L on February 21, 1998. Hence, according to the MACRS table (in chapter 8), the rate for year 1(1998) is 3.182%.

MACRS Deduction forRegular Income Tax Purposes]=Depreciable Basis Amount×Rate=$210,000×3.182%=$6,682

Step 3: Compute the depreciation deduction for AMT purposes.

According to ADS straight-line table, the rate for year 1(1998) is 2.188%.

Depreciation Deduction for AMT Purposes]=Depreciable Basis Amount×Rate=$210,000×2.188%=$4,595

Step 4: Determine the AMT adjustment for the year 1998(First Year) of F Acres.

AMT Adjustment=[(MACRS Deduction forRegular Income Tax Purposes)(Depreciation Deduction forAMT Purposes)]=$6,682$4,595=$2,087(Positive)

Hence, the AMT adjustment for 1998 shows a positive amount of $2,087.

Explanation of Solution

Determine the AMT adjustment for the year 2019 of F Acres.

Step 1: Compute the MACRS deduction for regular income tax.

According to the MACRS table, the rate for 2019 is 3.637%.

MACRS Deduction for Regular Income Tax Purposes]=Depreciable Basis Amount×Rate=$210,000×3.637%=$7,638

Step 2: Compute the depreciation deduction for AMT purposes.

According to ADS straight-line table, the rate for 2019 is 2.500%

Depreciation Deduction for AMT Purposes]=Depreciable Basis Amount×Rate=$210,000×2.500%=$5,250

Step 3: Determine the AMT adjustment for 2019 of F Acres.

AMT Adjustment=[(MACRS Deduction for Regular Income Tax Purposes)(Depreciation Deduction for AMT Purposes)]=$7,638$5,250=$2,388(Positive)

Therefore, the AMT adjustment for 2019 shows a positive amount of $2,388.

Determine the AMT adjustment for the year 2019 of S One Apartment.

Step 1: Compute the MACRS deduction for regular income tax.

According to the MACRS table, the rate for 2019 is 0.455%.

MACRS Deduction for Regular Income Tax Purposes]=Depreciable Basis Amount×Rate=$210,000×0.455%=$3,185

Step 2: Compute the depreciation deduction for AMT purposes.

MACRS Deduction for Regular Income Tax Purposes]=Depreciable Basis Amount×Rate=$210,000×0.455%=$3,185

Step 3: Determine the AMT adjustment for the year 2019.

AMT Adjustment=[(MACRS Deduction forRegular Income Tax Purposes)(Depreciation Deduction for AMT Purposes)]=$3,185$3,185=$0

Therefore, the AMT adjustment for 2019 of S One Apartment is $0.
