Question:
Warren and Young Kim are married taxpayers, filing jointly. They live at 777 Kingston Place, Anaheim, CA 92805. They are both retired. Their SSNs are Warren, 412-34-5670; and Young, 412-34-5671. Their birth dates are as follows: Warren, January 8, 1947; and Young, August 21, 1947.
They own their home, which they paid off in 2007, and another home
that they paid for in cash as an investment (Warren considers it
his pension). Their investment home was rented for the entire year
and is located just one block over at 9021 Jasmine Way. The
following income and expense information relates to the rental
activity. For the purpose of this return problem, do not consider
passive activity rules or limitations.
| Rental income | $ | 27,600 | ||
| Real estate taxes | 7,952 | |||
| Utilities | 1,603 | |||
| Mortgage interest | -0- | |||
| Repairs and maintenance | 3,616 | |||
| Depreciation | See following information | |||
They placed the rental home into service on March 1, 2010, and of
the $515,000 purchase price, $426,000 was allocated to the
land.
In addition to the rental, they received interest of $1,086 from
American Credit Union and $2,200 from Bank of California. Social
security benefits were $13,910 for Warren and $8,822 for Young,
respectively.
Prepare the Kims’ federal tax return for 2016. Use Form 1040,
Schedule B, Schedule E, and Form 4562. Assume they do not qualify
for any credits (although they may). The taxpayers had qualifying
health care coverage at all times during the tax year. For any
missing information, make reasonable assumptions.
