Expert Solution

Part 1 answer

Margen is filing singlly

Calculation of QIB on the basis of taxable Income if taxable Income Exceeds $ 157500, the following are the calculation.

In this case Taxable Income Exceeds $ 157500

Ist Method : 50% of Companies W-2 Wages = 50% * $ 74000 = $ 37000

IInd Method : 25% of W-2 wages Plus 2.5% of unadjusted basis of all qualified properties

= 25% * 74000+ 2.5% * $ 120000

= $ 18500+ $3000 =$ 21500

Margen can choose greater deduction of QIB that is = $ 37000

Part B answer

a. Mourezky's charitable deduction would be:-

cash= $9000( in 2020 an individual gets 100%ofAGI deduction on cash contribution if done to qualified institution and church is an qualified institution

property- Fmv=$33000 ( only 50% of AGI can be claimed in case of donation of property, so( .50*60000)can be claimed

Total of Mourezky's deduction = $9000+30000=$39000

b. Casey's deduction=

cash=$4200(in 2020 an individual gets 100%ofAGI deduction on cash contribution if done to qualified institution and educational instution is an qualified institution

painting=$9500( if it is displayed at charity then Fmv is the amount of deduction but it will be limited to 50% of AGI= 15000

stock=$900( as stock is short term only cost is allowed as deduction

both stock and painting is less than 15000(50% of AGI

Total Casey charitable contribution deduction=$ 4200+9500+900=$14600

Answer part C

State Income taxes 4375
