A taxpayer suffered a $20,000 capital loss early this year (from selling some securities) and is considering two alternatives for generating income.

The first alternative is to find part-time employment at the local university teaching courses on taxes. The second alternative is to purchase a fixed-upper bungalow and spend his evenings and weekends cleaning, repairing, and painting it, then sell the fixed up property.

The taxpayer estimates that his income before taxes would be about $45,000 from either alternative. Evaluate the taxpayer's options.
