BUS-121 Spring 2017 Chapter 3 – Form 1040 Name: Instructor: Frank Caperino Supplemental Tax Assignment Due: Thursday, Sep 29

Sam and Janet Evening need help with their taxes. They have no children. Below are the numbers you will need to help them complete their tax return. Follow the first and second tax exercise example handouts and fill in their Form 1040 tax return. (Hint: Do you see the asterisks next to certain lines? Hmmm?) The itemized deductions from Schedule A on line 40, the personal exemptions on line 42, and the tax on lines 44 and 47 (and a few other lines) are already computed for you. You do not need to complete Schedule A, Itemized Deductions. (5 points)

Wages, salaries, tips, etc. from Form(s) W-2 (gross income) $41,950

Taxable interest (gross income) 50

IRA deduction (adjustment to income) 1,000

Student loan interest deduction (adjustment to income) 1,000

Itemized deductions (from Schedule A – line 40) 18,000

Personal exemptions (2 persons * $3,950 – line 42) 7,900

Taxes (already computed from tax tables – lines 44 and 47 and a few others...) 1,413

Federal income tax withheld from W2 form (line 64) 1,800

Note to online students: You can use the Form 1040 on pages 2 and 3 of this document. They are very similar to the two Form 1040 tax handouts from this chapter. This requires you to print the two pages, hand-write the information, scan the two pages, and submit them as a single or multiple pdf or graphic files. Or you could demonstrate your advanced document handling skills and use the IRS-supplied Form 1040 pdf file that is on the class web page or available directly from the IRS web site (www.irs.gov). Using Adobe Acrobat Reader (or any of the many other pdf-enabled programs), you can type the above information directly into the Form 1040 form, save it, and submit it directly as a pdf file. Won’t you be proud of yourself?! (Currently, the legal problem with saving data to pdf files is that a signature must still be hand-written. Therefore, you still need to print the document and sign manually before it is a legal document. There are currently a few systems that allow for “digital signatures” but eventually, there will be a standard “digital signature” protocol that allows people to digitally “sign” all contracts and other legal documents. When you file your tax returns electronically, you are “digitally signing” the tax return according to the specifications created by the IRS and used by the vendors who offer electronic filing.)

Reprint of other part of assignment from handout / assignments / notes document for chapter 3: Required: Tax questions for the IRS (www.irs.gov or 800-829-1040) – Be careful! Make sure your information is current! 1) What are the maximum amounts that can be contributed to a Traditional IRA, Roth IRA and 401(k) per year? 2) What is the maximum amount of capital loss that can be deducted from your income taxes per year? 3) How long is the extension of time to file your income taxes that Form 4868 gives a taxpayer? 4) What percentage(s) of the estimated taxes should an individual taxpayer pay through withholding? Careful! 5) What are the names of the 2 or 3 types of educational tax credits available to college students & their parents? (5 points) – When researching the above questions, make sure you find the data for 2015!

Important Note: There are two parts to this assignment! The Form 1040 above � and the IRS questions below f.
