Problem
Warner and Augustine Robins, both 33 years old, have been married for 9 years. They live at 638 Russell Parkway, Macon, GA 31207. Augustine's Social Security number is 445-81-1423 and Warner's is 798-09-8526. Warner is the president of Dragon Lady Corporation located in Macon. The Dragon Lady stock is owned 40 percent by Warner, 40 percent by Augustine, and 20 percent by Warner's father. Warner's Dragon Lady wages and income tax withholding for 2016 are:
Earnings from Dragon Lady $151,700
Federal tax withheld 8,000
State tax withheld 3,970
The Robins' other income includes interest on a savings account at Georgia National Bank of $450. In April, Warner canceled a small certificate of deposit at Georgia National Bank and had to pay a $320 penalty on this early withdrawal of savings.
During the year, Warner and Augustine paid the following amounts (all of which can be substantiated):
Home mortgage interest $34,800
Real estate taxes on personal residence 5,650
General state sales tax 2,120
Auto loan interest 4,800
Medical insurance 10,400
Other medical expenses 3,600
Income tax preparation fee 750
Charitable contributions:
A painting to the Macon Museum of Arts for exhibition (fair market value established by qualified appraisal) 34,550
Church 2,600
Tree Huggers Foundation (a qualified charity) 3,000
Central Georgia Technical University 5,000
Safe-deposit box 300
The tax basis for the donated painting is $25,000 and the painting has been owned by Warner and Augustine for 5 years.
Dragon Lady does not cover health insurance for its employees. In addition to Warner and Augustine's health insurance premiums shown above, Augustine required surgery which cost $6,720 for which only $3,100 was covered by insurance. Warner had to drive Augustine 258 miles each way to a surgical center.
On January 1, 2016, Warner sold land to Dragon Lady Corporation for $75,000. He acquired the land 5 years ago for $160,000. No Form 1099-B was filed for this transaction.
Dragon Lady Corporation does not have a qualified pension plan or Section 401(k) plan for its employees. Therefore, Warner deposited $11,000 ($5,500 each) into traditional IRA accounts for Augustine and himself (neither are covered by a qualified plan at work).
