Esther owns a large home on the Southeast Coast. Her home is surrounded by large, mature oak trees that significantly increase the value of her home. In September 2019, a hurricane damaged many of the trees surrounding her home; her region was declared a federal disaster area as a result of the hurricane’s damage. In October 2019, Esther engaged a local arborist to evaluate and treat the trees, but five of the largest trees were seriously weakened by the storm. These trees died from the disease in 2020. Esther has ascertained that the amount of the casualty loss from the death of the five trees is $25,000; however, she is uncertain in which year to deduct this loss. Discuss whether the casualty loss should be deducted in the calculation of Esther’s 2019 or 2020 taxable income.

- In 2020, Regina moved across the country from the east coast to the west coast. She was moving because the advertising agency she worked for wanted her to relocate to work with a big new client the company had landed on the west coast. Her company reimbursed $7,500 of moving expenses (her total cost for the move), and her total wages for the year were $110,000 While living on the west coast, she began volunteering for a children's hospital doing public relations for their office.

Patton wrote her will, she left a portion of her estate to the Dallas County Community College District Foundation to create a scholarship in her name. She'd grown up poor and uneducated in rural Oklahoma and wanted to give students the shot at upward mobility that she wouldn't have had had she not married into money. Her will didn't provide many guidelines for doling out the scholarships, stipulating only that recipients "must demonstrate their capacity and desire for their education as well as their need for assistance." The task of deciding which students fit those criteria fell to Daphne Hughes, who was put in charge of DCCCD's scholarship program in May 2011. Her method of doing this quickly raised eyebrows. In July 2012, an employee of El Centro college complained to district auditors that the school's scholarship committee found itself with only enough money to fund six out of more than 50 applications for the Minnie K. Patton Scholarship; the funds are supposed…arrow_forward
- Karen incurred the following expenditures in connection with her residential rental property: paved driveway, installed new kitchen cabinets, and had a new roof put on the structure. Which of these should be capitalized?arrow_forwardJared and Melissa are married. They have owned their primary residence for 10 years and have lived in it the entire time. They paid $350,000 for the house and land and it is now worth $ 900,000. Due to the property's prime location in Stephenville, the City of Stephenville has decided to "take" the property and turn it into a public park and venue. The City sends Jared and Melissa a letter offering to buy the property for $800,000. Jared and Melissa reject the offer and the case goes to trial where a judge determines the value to be $950,000 and orders the City to pay that amount for the property it claimed using eminent domain. After Jared and Melissa receive the $950,000, they decide not to buy a new house and instead they live in their camper and travel around the country. Do Jared and Melissa have to pay tax on the money they received?

Rebecca charges $4,500 for her services for the year. Tim and Shia have discovered that up to $6,000 of qualifying expenses will generate a credit for child and dependent care expenses and that qualifying expenses can include payments for housecleaning services. As a result, they ask Rebecca whether she would be interested in working several hours more per week, after Tim returns from work, for the sole purpose of cleaning the house. The couple offers to pay Rebecca $1,500 for the additional work. The net cost of the additional services would be only $1,200 [$1,500 - ($1,500 × 20%)] due to the availability of the credit for child and dependent care expenses. You learn of Tim and Shia's opportunity but think it is unfair. If you hired someone to perform similar housecleaning services at the same price, your net cost would be…arrow_forward
