Scott also mentioned the following:

The expenses for dues and subscriptions were his country club membership dues for the year.

The charitable contributions were made to a political action committee.

Scott does not generate income from the sale of goods and therefore does not record supplies and wages as part of cost of goods sold.

Scott placed a business auto in service on January 1, 2014 and drove it 3,901 miles for business, 3,250 miles for commuting, and 4,500 miles for nonbusiness purposes. His wife has a car for personal use.

Complete Schedule C for Scott showing Scott's net income from self-employment. Assume Scott has evidence to support his deductions. If required, only use the minus sign to indicate a net loss. When required, round amounts to the nearest dollar.

Homework Answers

Answer #1

Answer:

i) Book Expenses = TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES + TOTAL COST OF SERVICES = $29,193 + $34,035 = $63,228

ii) Total Tax expenses = $58,790

iii) Disallowed expenses for tax:

1. The expenses for dues and subscriptions (country club membership dues for the year) = $3,500

2. Charitable contributions made to a political action committee =$275

3. 50% of Meals and Entertainment expenses = 50% * $5,500 = $2,750

As such total disallowed expenses for tax = $3,500 + $275 + $2,750 = $6,525

iv) Additional expense deducted for tax:

Car expenses for 3,901 miles (for business) * 53.5 cents for every business mile = $2,087

Hence

Reconciliation of book expenses to tax expenses.

Book expenses $63,228
Less, Total disallowed expenses for tax - $6,525
Add, Additional expense deducted for tax $2,087
Total Tax expenses
$58,790
