- Carlos opens a dry cleaning store during the year. He invests 30,000 of his own money and borrows 60,000 from a local bank. He uses 40,000 of the loan to buy a building and the remaining 20,000 for equipment. During the first year, the store has a loss of 24,000. How much of the loss can Carlos deduct if the loan from the bank is nonrecourse? How much does Carlos have at risk at the end of the first year?arrow_forwardRobert A. Kliesh, age 41, is single and has no dependents. Roberts Social Security number is 111-11-1115. His address is 201 Front Street, Missoula, MT 59812. He does not contribute to the Presidential Election Campaign fund through the Form 1040. Robert works as a financial analyst and is very well regarded in his field. This year his salary totaled 650,000. His professional success has allowed him to purchase investments in real estate and corporate stocks and bonds. He also spends time volunteering with various organizations that help people develop financial literacy skills. Examination of Roberts financial records provides the following information for 2018. a. On January 16, Robert sold 1,000 shares of stock for a loss of 12,000. The stock was acquired 14 months ago for 17,000 and sold for 5,000. On February 15, he sold 400 shares of stock for a gain of 13,100. That stock was acquired in 2010 for 6,000 and sold for 19,100. b. He received 30,000 of interest on private activity bonds that he purchased in 2015. He also received 40,000 of interest on tax-exempt bonds that are not private activity bonds. c. Robert received gross rent income of 190,000 from an apartment complex he owns. He qualifies as an active participant in the activity. The property is at 50 Big Sky Resort Road, Big Sky, Montana, 59716. d. Expenses related to the apartment complex, acquired in 2009, were 225,000. e. Roberts taxable interest income, all from corporate bonds, totaled 23,000. Because he invests only in growth stocks, he receives no dividend income. f. He won 60,000 in the Montana lottery. g. Robert was the beneficiary of an 800,000 life insurance policy on the life of his uncle Jake. He received the proceeds in October. h. In February, Robert exercised an incentive stock option that was granted by his employer in 2015. The strike price of the option was 10 per share. On the date of exercise, the fair market value of the stock was 25 per share. Robert purchased 400 shares with the option; as of the end of the year, he still owns the stock (current FMV 20 per share). i. Robert incurred the following potential itemized deductions. 5,200 fair market value of stock contributed to the Red Cross (3,000 stock basis). He had owned the stock for two years. Robert also made cash contributions of 8,000 to qualified organizations during the year. 4,200 interest on consumer purchases. 8,900 state and local income tax. 15,000 of medical expenses that he paid on behalf of his administrative assistant, who unexpectedly took ill. 8,000 paid for lottery tickets associated with playing the state lottery. 750 contribution to the campaign of the Democratic candidate for governor of Montana. Because Robert lived in Montana, he paid no state-income tax. Robert made estimated Federal tax payments of 210,000, and he was covered by health insurance for the entire tax year. Use Forms 1040 and 6251 and Schedules A, B, D, and E to compute the tax liability (including AMT) for Robert A. Kliesh for 2018. Omit Forms 8283, 8582, and 8949.
