Structure their tax return so that you minimize their tax liability $($i$.$e$.$ if items can be treated in different ways, choose the most tax$-$beneficial treatment available for $2023).$ Any overpayment should be refunded. Round all line items to the nearest dollar.

Note that many items will reference you $($or require you$)$ to use and attach a form or worksheet. The only forms and worksheets I require that you complete are form $1040,$ and schedules $1,2,3,$ A$,$ C$,$ and E if needed. Do not include these if they are not needed. All other forms can be ignored.

I have to fill out a tax return and any extra schedule such as schedule $1,2,3,$ A$,$ C$,$ E for Stan and Francine. I have asked for help twice. Please help
