Lauren and Javier were married in 2016. A year later, in 2017, they purchased their first home for $350,000. After making this house their main home for three years, the couple relocated to another state in May 2020. At first, they were reluctant to sell the house they had purchased in 2017 because they thought they might eventually move back.

Lauren and Javier will file a joint 2021 return. Their only other income for the year consisted of $198,000 in wages.

Charles and Nicolette went to Italy in November 2008, where Charles proposed marriage and presented Nicolette with a diamond ring. She accepted the proposal and the ring. On the same day, Nicolette asked Charles where he had purchased the ring. She became disappointed when he told her where he bought it, and she gave him back the ring, suggesting a different style she would like. He returned the ring to the jeweler and received a refund of $5,000. He then purchased a new ring for $12,000. Charles testified that near the end of November he “reproposed” and presented the second ring to Nicolette. The relationship soon soured and in late February 2009 Charles asked for the return of the ring. Contrary to Charles’ testimony that he gave the second ring as an engagement ring in late November, Nicolette testified that he gave the second ring to her a few days before Christmas as a holiday gift

Carey and Pat were good friends and neighbors in an upscale neighborhood near several highly rated golf courses in Arizona. During the winter, both Carey and Pat decided to rent their homes (at a premium) to groups of golfers from the New York area who wanted to get out of the snow and enjoy sunshine and golf for a couple of weeks during the winter. While their homes were rented, Carey and Pat vacationed together in Cancun. In January 2020, Carey rented his home for 14 days and received $14,000 in rent. Pat also rented his home for the same 14 days and received $16,000 in rent. Near the end of the 14-day rental period, Pat got a call from the renters, who wanted to extend their stay for one day. Pat agreed to the extension and charged the group $2,000 for the extra day. When preparing his 2020 tax return, Pat discovered that taxpayers who rent their home for more than 14 days are required to report all of their rental income on their tax returns. Pat didn’t think it was fair that he…

- Ashby and Curtis, married professionals, have a two-year-old son, Jason. Curtis works full-time as an electrical engineer, but Ashby has not worked outside the home since Jason was born. As Jason is getting older, Ashby thinks that Jason would benefit from attending nursey school several times a week, which would give her an opportunity to reinvigorate her love of painting at a nearby art studio. Ashby thinks that if she is lucky, the proceeds from the sale of her paintings will pay for the nursery school tuition. Ashby also is planning to claim the credit for child and dependent care expenses, because the care provided Jason at the nursery school is required for her to pursue her art career. Can Ashby and Curtis claim the credit for child and dependent car expenses for the nursery school expenditures?

- Aramis and Danielle Bisset, both in their mid-20s, have been married for 4 years and have two preschool-age children. Aramis has an accounting degree and is employed as a cost accountant at an annual salary of $64,000. They're now renting a duplex but wish to buy a home in the suburbs of their rapidly developing city. They've decided they can afford a $425,000 house and hope to find one with the features they desire in a good neighborhood. The insurance costs on such a home are expected to be $1,000 per year, taxes are expected to be $3,000 per year, and annual utility bills are estimated at $1,800 - an increase of $500 over those they pay in the duplex. The Bissets are considering financing their home with a fixed-rate, 30-year, 6 percent mortgage. The lender charges 2 points on mortgages with 20 percent down and 3 points if less than 20 percent is put down (the commercial bank that the Bissets will deal with requires a minimum of 10 percent down). Other closing costs are estimated at…arrow_forwardA and B got married in 2015 and had an offspring a year after.

Due to the property's prime location in Stephenville, the City of Stephenville has decided to "take" the property and turn it into a public park and venue. The City sends Jared and Melissa a letter offering to buy the property for $800,000.
