Question Answered step-by-step Various strategies you intend to use to obtain information from the… Various strategies you intend to use to obtain information from the university’s librariansThere are several methods for obtaining information from libraries. This information will aid in the automation of front-desk tasks. Librarians will be given questionnaires to fill out in order to provide information about the books in the library. In addition, librarians will be questioned about the types of books offered and the number of them (Ben, 2018). Nonetheless, a survey of librarians on the literature accessible in the library will be done. They’ll tell you everything you need to know about the books in the library. Explanation:Methods to utilize in order to keep track of the information gathered. Because the information gathered may be delicate and easy to forget, I shall document it through note taking. I’ll keep track of all the different types of books and how many there are. Furthermore, I can employ modern recording, in which I will enter all of the data into an excel spreadsheet on the computer (Cate, 2019). This is the simplest way to keep track of the information gathered. When using a computer, you may readily perform computations after recording the data you’ve gathered.

The information is provided in three phases, which correspond to the three major components of computing income tax—gross income, deductions and losses, and property transactions. If your instructor assigns these problems, at the end of each major segment (i.e., Chapters 4, 8, and 12), you should complete the appropriate portions of the forms indicated. If you are not using a tax software package, you should not complete the second page of Form 1040 until you have completed Chapter 12. Completing the tax return problem will help you understand the reporting procedures for the information in each major segment of the text. In addition, it will aid you in reviewing the major topics discussed in the book; it serves as an overview of the course. THE SCHNAPPAUF FAMILY In 2018, Bill and Joyce Schnappauf live in Wakefield, R.I. Bill is 53, and Joyce is 51. Bill is a district sales manager for USC Equipment Corporation, a Rhode Island firm that manufactures and distributes gaming equipment. Joyce is a self-employed author of children’s books. The Schnappaufs have three children, Will, 21, Dan, 19, and Tom, 16. In February 2019, the Schnappaufs provide the following basic information for preparing their 2018 federal income tax return: 1. The Schnappaufs use the cash method of accounting and file their return on a calendar-year basis. 2. Unless otherwise stated, assume that the Schnappaufs want to minimize the current year’s tax liability. That is, they would like to defer income when possible and take the largest deductions possible, a practice they have followed in the past. 3. Joyce’s Social Security number is 371-42-5207. 4. Bill’s Social Security number is 150-52-0546. 5. Will’s Social Security number is 372-46-2611. 6. Dan’s Social Security number is 377-42-3411. 7. Tom’s Social Security number is 375-49-6511. 8.

The Schnappaufs do not wish to contribute to the presidential election campaign. PHASE I—CHAPTERS 1–4 The first phase of the tax return problem is designed to introduce you to some of the tax forms and the supporting documentation (Forms W-2, 1099-INT, etc.) needed to complete a basic tax return. The first four chapters focus on the income aspects of individual taxation. Accordingly, this phase of the tax return focuses on the basic income concepts. 1. Bill’s W-2 is provided (Exhibit A-1). The 2018 W-2 includes his salary ($98,000), bonus ($61,000), and income from group-term life insurance coverage in excess of $50,000 ($132.48), and is reduced by his 7 percent contribution ($6,860) to USC’s qualified pension plan. The company matches Bill’s contribution to the plan. 2. The Schnappaufs receive two 1099-INTs for interest (Exhibits A-2 and A-3), two 1099-DIVs for dividends (Exhibits A-4 and A-5), and a combined interest and dividend statement (Exhibit A-6). 3. Joyce and her brother, Bob, are co-owners of, and active participants in, a furniturerestoration business. Joyce owns 30 percent, and Bob owns 70 percent of the business. The business was formed as an S corporation in 2010. During 2018, the company pays $5,000 in dividends. The basis of Joyce’s stock is $33,000. Copyright 2020 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.

The Schnappaufs receive a 2017 federal income tax refund of $818 on May 12, 2018. On May 15, 2018, they receive their income tax refund from the state of Rhode Island. In January 2019, the state mails the Schnappaufs a Form 1099-G (Exhibit A-7). Their total itemized deductions in 2017 were $20,161. 5. During 2018, Joyce is the lucky ninety-third caller to a local radio station and wins $300 in cash and a Tablet. Despite repeated calls to the radio station, she has not received a Form 1099—MISC. In announcing the prize, the radio station host said that the manufacturer’s suggested retail price for the Tablet is $720. However, Joyce has a catalog from Supersonic Electronics that advertises the Tablet for $595. 6. The Schnappaufs receive a Form W-2G (Exhibit A-8) for their winnings at the Yardley Casino in Connecticut. 7. On June 26, 2018, Bill receives a check for $15,480 from the United Insurance Corporation. Though he was unaware of it, he was the designated beneficiary of an insurance policy on the life of his uncle. The policy had a maturity value of $15,100, and the letter from the company stated that his uncle had paid premiums on the policy of $3,620 (Exhibit A-9). 8. Joyce is active in the school PTO. During the year, she receives an award for outstanding service to the organization. She receives a plaque and two $125 gift certificates that were donated to the PTO by local merchants. 9. To complete phase I, you will need Form 1040, Schedule B, and Schedule D. INSTRUCTIONS: If you are using tax software to prepare the tax return or are not completing phases II and III of the problem, ignore the instructions that follow. If you are preparing the return manually, you cannot complete some of the forms used in phase I until you receive additional information provided in phase II or phase III. Therefore, as a general rule, you should only post the information to the appropriate form and not compute totals for that form. The following specific instructions will assist you in preparing Part I of the return. a. The only form that can be totaled is Schedule B. b. Only post the appropriate information to Schedule D. Do not total any columns. More information is provided in phase III of the tax return problem. c. Do not calculate total income or adjusted gross income on page 1 of Form 1040. d. Post the appropriate information on page 2 of Form 1040, but do not total this page, compute the federal tax liability, or determine the refund or balance due. PREPARATION AID: Tax forms and instructions can be downloaded from the IRS’s home page (www.irs.treas.gov). You can also download IRS Publication 17, which is a useful guide in preparing the tax return. PHASE II—CHAPTERS 5–8 This is the second phase of the tax return problem you began at the end of Chapter 4. This phase of the tax return incorporates the material from Chapters 5 through 8 by providing you with information concerning the Schnappaufs’ deductions for 2018. They provide you with the following information. 1. Joyce writes children’s books for a variety of publishers. She has been selfemployed since 2010. As a freelance writer, Joyce incurs costs associated with preparing a manuscript for which she does not yet have a contract. During the year, Joyce makes four business trips, each 3 days long, to meet with various publishers. For shorter trips that are closer to home, she either drives or takes the train and returns the same day. On December 10, 2018, Joyce receives an advance (see below) on her next book. Under the contract, Joyce is scheduled to begin work on the book on February 1, 2019, and must have it completed by November 30, 2019. The Schnappaufs’ home has two telephones. Joyce has a separate phone number for her business. The information on Joyce’s business is listed below. Copyright 2020 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.
