- Alton Newman, age 67, is married and files a joint return with his wife, Clair, age 65. Alton and Clair are both retired, and during 2018, they received Social Security benefits of 10,000. Both Alton and Clair are covered by Medicare. Altons Social Security number is 111-11-1119, and Clairs is 123-45-6786. They reside at 210 College Drive, Columbia, SC 29201. Alton, who retired on January 1, 2018, receives benefits from a qualified pension plan of 2,750 a month for life. His total contributions to the plan (none of which were deductible) were 168,250. In January 2018, he received a bonus of 2,000 from his former employer for service performed in 2017. No income taxes were withheld on this bonus by his former employer (Amalgamated Industries, Inc.; EIN 12-3456789; 114 Main Street, Columbia, SC 29201). Although Amalgamated Industries, Inc., accrued the bonus in 2017, it was not paid until 2018. Clair, who retired on December 31, 2017, started receiving benefits of 1,400 a month on January 1, 2018. Her contributions to the qualified pension plan (none of which were deductible) were 74,100. On September 27, 2018, Alton and Clair received a pro rata 10% stock dividend on 600 shares of stock they owned. They had bought the stock on March 5, 2011, for 20 a share. On December 16, 2018, they sold the 60 dividend shares for 55 a share. On October 10, 2018, Clair sold the car she had used in commuting to and from work for 17,000. She had paid 31,000 for the car in 2012. On July 14, 2010, Alton and Clair received a gift of 1,000 shares of stock from their son, Thomas. Thomass basis in the stock was 35 a share (fair market value at the date of gift was 25). No gift tax was paid on the transfer. Alton and Clair sold the stock on October 8, 2018, for 24 a share. On May 1, 2018, Clairs mother died, and Clair inherited her personal residence. In February 2018, her mother had paid the property taxes for 2018 of 2,100. The residence had a fair market value of 235,000 and an adjusted basis to the mother of 160,000 on the date of her death. Clair listed the house with a real estate agent, who estimated it was worth 240,000 as of December 31, 2018. Clair received rent income of 6,000 on a beach house she inherited three years ago from her uncle Charles. She had rented the property for one week during the July 4 holiday and one week during the Thanksgiving holiday. Charless adjusted basis in the beach house was 150,000, and its fair market value on the date of his death was 240,000. Clair and Alton used the beach house for personal purposes for 56 days during the year. Expenses associated with the house were 3,700 for utilities, maintenance, and repairs; 2,200 for property taxes; and 800 for insurance. There are no mortgages on the property. Clair and Alton paid estimated Federal income tax of 2,000 and had itemized deductions of 6,800 (excluding any itemized deductions associated with the beach house). If they have overpaid their Federal income tax, they want the amount refunded. Both Clair and Alton want 3 to go to the Presidential Election Campaign Fund. Compute their net tax payable or refund due for 2018, using the appropriate tax rate schedule (not the Tax Tables). If you use tax forms for your computations, you will need at a minimum Form 1040 and Schedule D. Suggested software: ProConnect Tax Online.arrow_forwardDarrell is an employee of Whitneys.
