- 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?arrow_forwardHoward buys wrecked cars and stores them on his property. Recently, he purchased a 1991 Ford Taurus for 400. If he can sell all of the usable parts, his total proceeds from the Taurus will be over 2,500.

What are Howards income recognition issues?arrow_forwardWade paid 7,000 for an automobile that needed substantial repairs. He worked nights and weekends to restore the car and spent 2,400 on parts for it. He knows that he can sell the car for 13,000, but he is very wealthy and does not need the money. On the other hand, his daughter, who has very little income, needs money to make the down payment on a house. a. Would it matter, after taxes, whether Wade sells the car and gives the money to his daughter or whether he gives the car to his daughter and she sells it for 13,000? Explain. b. Assume that Wade gave the car to his daughter after he had arranged for another person to buy it from his daughter. The daughter then transferred the car to the buyer and received 13,000. Who is taxed on the gain?arrow_forward
- Glen Campbell owns a small office building adjacent to an airport. He acquired the property 10 years ago at a total cost of $608,000—that is, $70,000 for the land and $538,000 for the building.
