PLEASE EXPLAIN…arrow_forwardDuring 2020, Jackie sent her brother Junnie $2,500 via a telegraphic transfer through El Banco Prieto. The bank’s remittance clerk made a mistake and credited Junnie with $250,000 which he promptly withdrew. The bank demanded the return of the mistakenly credited excess, but Junnie refused to do so. The BIR entered the picture and investigated Junnie. Would the BIR be correct if it determines that he earned a taxable income under the facts? No, it was not her fault that the funds in excess of $2,500 were credited to him. Yes, income is a taxable income regardless of the source No, he had no income because he had no right to the mistakenly credited funds. No, the funds in excess of $2,500 were in effect donated to her.arrow_forward
- You are a CPA and do tax returns for individuals. A woman enters your office and asks you to complete her tax return. During your meeting, she mentions that she is expecting about $5000 in refund, and needs that to pay off a debt, that will result in a $1000 fine if she does not pay in the next month. You complete her tax return, but the refund is much lower than she expected, only $1000. She is very mad, and consults with another CPA. The other CPA determines that you made a significant mistake, but the period to file returns has passed. It will cost $500 to file an amendment. What damages is the woman likely entitled to? Group of answer choices A. None, because accountants can't be perfect B. $500, because that is all that is needed to make it right C. $500, and potentially $1000, because of the consequential damages of not being able to pay off her loan on time D. $4000, because that is the difference between the proper refund and your mistake.arrow_forward• Cynthia is an electrician, age 29, and single. • Cynthia has investment income and has a consolidated broker’s statement.• Cynthia began a cleaning service business in 2020.
