Spencer Duck (SSN 000-22-1111) is single and his eight-year-old son, Mitch, lives with him nine months of the year in a rented condominium at 321 Hickory Drive in Ames, Iowa. Mitch lives with his mother, Spencer’s ex-wife, during the summer months. His mother provides more than half of Mitch’s support and Spencer has agreed to allow her to claim Mitch as her dependent. Spencer has a salary of $39,000 and itemized deductions of $4,000. Taxes withheld during the year amount to $3,221. On July 14 of the current year, he sold the following assets:
• Spencer received a K-1 from a partnership indicating that his share of the partnership STCL is $200.
• Land was sold for $35,000. The land was received as a property settlement on January 10, 2001, when the land’s FMV amounted to $30,000. His ex-wife’s basis for the land, purchased on January 10, 1991, was $18,600.
