- Donald Jefferson and his wife, Maryanne, live in a modest house located in a Los Angeles suburb. Donald has a job at Pittsford Cast Iron that pays him $50,000 annually. In addition, he and Maryanne receive $2,500 interest from bonds that they purchased 10 years ago. To supplement his annual income, Donald bought rental property a few years ago. Every month he collects $3,500 in rent from all of the property he owns. Maryanne manages the rental property, and she is paid $15,000 annually for her work. During 2015, Donald had to have the plumbing fixed in the houses that he rents as well as the house in which he and Maryanne live.

Sharon pays Keith wages of $100,000 per annum – whereas if she had hired someone else to do the work she would have paid the person only $55,000.

Keith is 17 years of age. Discuss the tax treatment of these payments to Keith when the business is conducted as: general partnership (with Sharon and another person Melanie as partners) corporation (with Sharon as sole shareholder) trust (with a corporation set up to act as Trustee. Sharon is the sole shareholder of the corporate trustee, and both Sharon and Keith are potential beneficiaries).arrow_forwardJack is a lawyer who is a member at Ocean Spray Country Club where he spends $7,200 in dues, $4,000 in business meals, and $2,000 in green fees to entertain clients.

- Your clients, Adam and Amy Accrual, have a 21-year-old daughter named April. April is single and is a full-time student studying for her bachelor’s degree in accounting at California Poly Academy (CPA) in Pismo Beach, California, where she lives with her roommates year-round. Last year, April worked at a local bar and restaurant four nights a week and made $18,000, which she used for tuition, fees, books, and living expenses. Her parents help April by sending her $300 each month to help with her expenses at college. This is all of the support given to April by her parents. When preparing Adam and Amy’s tax return, you note that they claim April as a dependent for tax purposes. Adam is insistent that they can claim April because of the $300 per month support and the fact that they “have claimed her since she was born.” He will not let you take April off his return as a dependent.
