Question:
Monica is planning to start her own accounting, tax, and financial planning business. Her uncle Gus has given her file cabinets, a desk, computer equipment, and bookcases that were in his den until he sold his house. Gus recently moved to a lakefront cottage and no longer needs the furniture and equipment. Gus’s adjusted basis for all the items is $3,500, and the fair market value is $2,000. Monica will convert 20% of her personal residence into her office and will use it exclusively for her business. Monica’s residence has a fair market value of $150,000 and an adjusted basis of $80,000 (10% is allocated to the land). What are the tax ramifications of the gifts and the conversion? What will be the depreciable basis of the property? Explain your answers in terms of the underlying concepts that govern the result.

I love tutoring. I love doing it. I find it intrinsically satisfying to see the light come on in a student's eyes.
My first math lesson that I taught was when I was 5. My neighbor, still in diapers, kept skipping 4 when counting from 1 to 10. I worked with him until he could get all 10 numbers in a row, and match them up with his fingers.
My students drastically improve under my tutelage, generally seeing a two grade level improvement (F to C, C to A, for example), and all of them get a much clearer understanding!
I am committed to helping my students get the top grades no matter the cost. I will take extra hours with you, repeat myself a thousand times if I have to and guide you to the best of my ability until you understand the concept that I'm teaching you.
