Bert, who is an accountant, made an arrangement with Harold the dentist. Bert would do Harold's tax work if Harold would take care of Bert and his family's dental work. During the year, Bert estimated that the value of his services to Harold was $500 and that Harold gave Bert and his family $600 worth of dental services. In December, Bert did a consulting assignment on a weekend and received $700. No Social Security or taxes were withheld.
During the year, they had $15,000 withheld for federal taxes.
