Sunya established a qualified tuition program for each of his twins, Kim and Jim. He started each fund with $22,000 when the children were five years old. Sunya made no further contributions to his children’s plans. Thirteen years later, both children have graduated from high school. Kim’s fund has accumulated to $45,000, and Jim’s has accumulated to $42,000. Kim decides to attend a state university, which will cost $60,000 for four years (tuition, fees, room and board, and books). Jim decides to go to work instead of going to college. During the current year, $7,500 is used from Kim’s plan to pay the cost of her first semester in college. Because Jim is not going to college now or in the future, Sunya withdraws the $42,000 plan balance and gives it to Jim to start his new life after high school.
What are the tax consequences to Jim (is any amount taxable and why) of Jim’s qualified tuition program being closed?

Paul received a statement related to the Green bonds saying that there was 45 of original issue discount amortization during 2019. Paul maintains the receipts for the sales taxes he paid of 735. Paul lives at 1610 Cherry Lane, Bradenton, FL 34212, and his Social Security number is 111-11-1111. Jamies Social Security number is 123-45-6789. The university withheld 2,000 of Federal income tax from Pauls salary. Paul is not itemizing his deductions. Part 1Tax Computation Compute Pauls lowest tax liability for 2019. Part 2Tax Planning Paul is concerned because the Green bonds were worth only 18,000 at the end of 2019, 5,000 less than he paid for them. He is an inexperienced investor and wants to know if this 5,000 is deductible. The bonds had original issue discount of 2,000 when he purchased them, and he is curious about how that affects his investment in the bonds. The bonds had 20 years left to maturity when he purchased them. Draft a brief letter to Paul explaining how to handle these items. Also prepare a memo for Pauls tax file.arrow_forward
