Problem #2 Seth Davis is 26 and resides in NYC with his dependent mother (Edith, 62 years old). Seth pays for greater than 50% of Edith's living expenses. From 7am-3pm, Seth works as a waiter in a Long Island City Diner. At night, he runs an illegal high-stakes poker game in his Queens condominium. To attract wealthy players to his game, Seth paid celebrity-poker player Ben Affleck to make 2 appearances to mingle with the players. Seth receives a percentage of all money wagered during poker games. In February 2018, Seth's Montauk vacation home was completely destroyed by a Nor'easter. President Trump declared Long Island a federal disaster area due to the storm. The home was used exclusively by Seth, and it had a fair market value of $650,000. Seth's adjusted basis in the vacation house before the storm was $400,000, and he received an insurance reimbursement of $125,000 from Allstate in November of 2018.
