    Boot received is 3500

    Realized gain is 20000- (35000-180000)= 3000;

    Recognized gain lesser of the two above – 3000.

    Basis of new automobile is old basis + boot paid – boot received +gain recognized= 17000+3000+1000-3500=17500.

    Finally done!!! Experience-pending. Ethics- Pending.

    For calculation of MACRS Depreciation if the table is given, don't we need to apply Half year convention as in 6/12, or does the table giving % already has that in it?

    Ninja Sim 41,

    Andrea and Buffy formed a partnership in June of Year 1 and began operations on September 1 of Year 1. The partners share profits and losses 40% and 60%, respectively. Andrea contributed office furniture to the partnership that has an adjusted basis of $30,000 and a fair market value of $45,000. Buffy contributed $33,000 in cash and three personal computers that have an adjusted basis of $12,000 and a fair market value of $12,000. The partnership borrowed $12,000 from the bank to purchase office supplies; both partners are personally liable for the debt.

    Using the MACRS table below, complete the table following to determine the partnershipโ€™s tax depreciation expense for Year 1. Assume that none of the original cost of any asset was expensed by the partnership under the provisions of Section 179 and that the partnership elected not to claim first-year bonus depreciation on any asset.

    Explanation of Depreciation:

    Office furniture is classified as 7-year property; the depreciation expense for the first year is $4,287, which is $30,000 x 14.29%.

    Personal computers are classified as 5-year property; the depreciation expense for the first year is $2,400, which is $12,000 x 20%.

    FAR : 68, 74, 83 Thank you God ๐Ÿ™‚

    Wiley says you divide by 20,000 for MFJ and 10,000 for single, SO

    4000 * ((185,000-181,000)/20,000)=$800

    Hot diggity dog!

    @CPAMommy – that makes sense! Now, if we could only figure out why that guy got to be HOH with his parents. I looked everywhere – it says “dependent children” for HOH.

    Does this sound right? He is allowed to file HOH as long as he supports them 50% and maintains their household, whether it is with him or their own house, AND he can claim them as dependents. He can claim them as dependents IF they file a joint return solely for a refund. Their income (not including social security) is less than the exemption amount, so I think it is safe to say that they were going to get a refund, right?

    Sorry Kemy. I'm not on the forum full time tonight. Trying to weed through the entity MCQs between today and tomorrow (400 total–yikes!), but I'll check in to post questions and try to answer some every once in a while.
