Determine whether the taxpayer in each of the following situations is in constructive receipt of income. If not, explain when the income will be constructively received.
Regan is an employee of BIF Manufacturing, earning $3,000 per month. She purchases merchandise from BIF costing $2,000 in January of the current year. To pay for the merchandise, BIF agrees to deduct $75 per month from her pay, reducing it to $2,925 per month before other withholdings.
Answer: see the attached file.
My question:
I don't understand why $75 is the constructive receipt of income. Regan is not receiving anything and it is not available to him. Also, why would Regan include $3,000 include in gross income? isn't it 3000-75?
Firm B, a calendar year, cash basis taxpayer, leases lawn and garden equipment. During December, it received the following cash
payments. To what extent does each payment represent current taxable income to Firm 8?
Required:
a. $522 repayment of a loan from an employee. Firm B loaned $500 to the employee six months ago, and the employee repaid the
loan with interest.
b. $600 deposit from a customer who rented mechanical equipment. Firm B must return the entire deposit when the customer returns
the undamaged equipment.
c. $10,000 short-term loan from a local bank. Firm B gave the bank a written note to repay the loan in one year at 5 percent interest.
d. $888 prepaid rent from the customer described in part (b). The rent is $12 per day for the 74-day period from December 17 through
February 28.
The following is an example of a recurring expense which is deductible by a calendar-year taxpayer in full in the year of payment:
(a.) The taxpayer purchases six months of business insurance on September 15, 2016 for a cost of $800.
(b.) The taxpayer pays $10,000 for two years of rent for the office building in advance.
