Note: This problem is for the 2018 tax year.
Logan B. Taylor is a widower whose wife, Sara, died on June 6, 2016. He lives at 4680 Dogwood Lane, Springfield, MO 65801. He is employed as a paralegal by a local law firm. During 2018, he had the following receipts:
| Salary | $ 80,000 | |||
| Interest income— | ||||
| Money market account at Omni Bank | $300 | |||
| Savings account at Boone State Bank | 1,100 | |||
| City of Springfield general purpose bonds | 3,000 | 4,400 | ||
| Inheritance from Daniel | 60,000 | |||
| Life insurance proceeds | 200,000 | |||
| Amount from sale of St. Louis lot | 80,000 | |||
| Proceeds from estate sale | 9,000 | |||
| Federal income tax refund (for 2017 tax overpayment) | 700 |
Logan inherited securities worth $60,000 from his uncle, Daniel, who died in 2018. Logan also was the designated beneficiary of an insurance policy on Daniel's life with a maturity value of $200,000. The lot in St. Louis was purchased on May 2, 2013, for $85,000 and held as an investment. As the neighborhood has deteriorated, Logan decided to cut his losses and sold the lot on January 5, 2018, for $80,000. The estate sale consisted largely of items belonging to Sara and Daniel (e.g., camper, boat, furniture, and fishing and hunting equipment). Logan estimates that the property sold originally cost at least twice the $9,000 he received and has declined or stayed the same in value since Sara and Daniel died.
Logan's expenditures for 2018 include the following:
| Medical expenses (including $10,500 for dental) | $11,500 | |||
| Taxes— | ||||
| State of Missouri income tax (includes withholdings during 2018) | $4,200 | |||
| Property taxes on personal residence | 4,500 | 8,700 | ||
| Interest on home mortgage (Boone State Bank) | 5,600 | |||
| Contribution to church (paid pledges for 2018 and 2019) | 4,800 |
Logan and his dependents are covered by his employer's health insurance policy for all of 2018. However, he is subject to a deductible, and dental care is not included. The $10,500 dental charge was for Helen's implants. Helen is Logan's widowed mother, who lives with him (see below). Logan normally pledges $2,400 ($200 per month) each year to his church. On December 5, 2018, upon the advice of his pastor, he prepaid his pledge for 2019.
Logan's household, all of whom he supports, includes the following:
| Social Security Number | Birth Date | |
| Logan Taylor (age 48) | 123-45-6787 | 08/30/1970 |
| Helen Taylor (age 70) | 123-45-6780 | 01/13/1948 |
| Asher Taylor (age 23) | 123-45-6783 | 07/18/1995 |
| Mia Taylor (age 22) | 123-45-6784 | 02/16/1996 |
Helen receives a modest Social Security benefit. Asher, a son, is a full-time student in dental school and earns $4,500 as a part-time dental assistant. Mia, a daughter, does not work and is engaged to be married.
Federal income tax of $4,500 was withheld from Logan's wages.
Required:
Determine the Federal income tax for 2018 for Logan by providing
the following information that be reported on Form 1040, Schedule A
Schedule D, and Form 8849. Complete the tax advice letter.
Make realistic assumptions about any missing data.
If Logan has any overpayment on his income tax, he wants the refund sent to him.
Assume that the proper amounts of Social Security and Medicare taxes were withheld.
Enter all amounts as positive numbers.
If an amount box does not require an entry or the answer is zero, enter "0".
When computing the tax liability, do not round your immediate calculations. If required round your final answers to the nearest dollar.

The DoNotMissSnow Company is evaluating an asset that may increase sales by $120,000 every year for 4 years. There is no expected change in net operating working capital. The company's cost of capital is 6%. The proposed asset costs $400,000, will require $20,000 to modify for operations, and falls in the 3-year class MACRS for depreciation rates: .33, .45, .15, and .07 for years 1 through 4, respectively. At the end of the 4 years, it is expected that the asset may sell for $30,000. The company's tax rate is 21%. a) What is the initial outlay for this project? b) What are the operating cash flows in Years 1 through 4? c) As part of the terminal cash flow in Year 4, what is the after-tax salvage value of the asset? d) What is the net present value of this proposed asset investment? Should it be accepted or rejected?

. Mr. Smith, a 52-year old patient, is admitted to the coronary care unit with the diagnosis of acute inferior myocardial infarction. The patient has a history of smoking two packs per day of cigarettes for 35 years, and he drinks a six-pack of beer on weekend nights, but does not drink the rest of the week. He is the sole financial support for his family. He is a consultant for a company and is out of town during week days. Over the past year, Mr. Smith has gained 20 pounds. He is 5 foot 6 inches, weighing 200 pounds. His diet consists mostly of fast food. He rarely exercises. His wife cares for their three teenage children. The eldest son, 17 years of age, totaled the family car when drinking and driving 2 days ago and he is in the local children’s hospital in the intensive care unit in critical condition. Mr. Smith developed chest pain and slumped over in his chair during an argument with his wife about their teenage daughter, who is 15 years of age and wanted to get birth control pills. The wife is in the waiting room while the nurses settle Mr. Smith into his room. The youngest son, 13 years of age, is at a friend’s house. The teenage daughter is staying at the bedside of the critically ill eldest son. The wife blames her eldest son for her husband’s heart attack and told the emergency department nurse that she does not care to see her son at all. (Learning Objectives 6, 10, and 11) What maladaptive responses to stress may have contributed to Mr. Smith’s development of an illness? Based on the case study, what family assessment data may be used to determine coping strategies being currently used by the family in crisis? What nursing interventions should be used to promote effective coping for the patient and his family?
