- Paul Barrone is a graduate student at State University. His 10-year-old son, Jamie, lives with him, and Paul is Jamies sole support. Pauls wife died in 2018, and Paul has not remarried. Paul received 320,000 of life insurance proceeds (related to his wifes death) in early 2019 and immediately invested the entire amount as shown below. Paul had 42,000 of taxable graduate assistant earnings from State University and received a 10,000 scholarship. He used 8,000 of the scholarship to pay his tuition and fees for the year and 2,000 for Jamies day care. Jamie attended Little Kids Daycare Center, a state-certified child care facility. Paul received a statement related to the Green bonds saying that there was 45 of original issue discount amortization during 2019. Paul maintains the receipts for the sales taxes he paid of 735. Paul lives at 1610 Cherry Lane, Bradenton, FL 34212, and his Social Security number is 111-11-1111. Jamies Social Security number is 123-45-6789. The university withheld 2,000 of Federal income tax from Pauls salary. Paul is not itemizing his deductions. Part 1Tax Computation Compute Pauls lowest tax liability for 2019. Part 2Tax Planning Paul is concerned because the Green bonds were worth only 18,000 at the end of 2019, 5,000 less than he paid for them. He is an inexperienced investor and wants to know if this 5,000 is deductible. The bonds had original issue discount of 2,000 when he purchased them, and he is curious about how that affects his investment in the bonds. The bonds had 20 years left to maturity when he purchased them. Draft a brief letter to Paul explaining how to handle these items. Also prepare a memo for Pauls tax file.arrow_forwardMartha is a self-employed tax accountant who drives her car to visit clients on a regular basis.
