Note: This problem is for the 2023 tax year.
Alfred E. Old and Beulah A. Crane, each age 42, married on September 7, 2021. Alfred and Beulah will file a joint return for 2023. Alfred's Social Security number is 111-11-1109. Beulah's Social Security number is 123-45-6780, and she has chosen to use "Old" as her married name. They live at 211 Brickstone Drive, Atlanta, GA 30304.
Alfred was divorced from Sarah Old in March 2017. Under the divorce agreement, Alfred is to pay Sarah $1,250 per month for the next 10 years or until Sarah's death, whichever occurs first. Alfred paid Sarah $15,000 in 2023. In addition, in January 2023, Alfred paid Sarah $50,000, which is designated as being for her share of the marital property. Also, Alfred is responsible for all prior years' income taxes. Sarah's Social Security number is 123-45-6788.
Alfred's salary for 2023 is $150,000. He is an executive working for Cherry, Inc. (Federal I.D. No. 98-7654321). As part of his compensation package, Cherry provides him with group term life insurance equal to twice his annual salary. His employer withheld $20,800 for Federal income taxes and $8,000 for state income taxes. The proper amounts of FICA taxes (Social Security and Medicare) were withheld.
Beulah recently graduated from law school and is employed by Legal Aid Society, Inc. (Federal I.D. No. 11-1111111), as a public defender. She received a salary of $43,800 in 2023. Her employer withheld $5,300 for Federal income taxes and $2,400 for state income taxes. The proper amounts of FICA taxes (Social Security and Medicare) were withheld.
Alfred and Beulah received taxable interest income of $500. Alfred and Beulah received a $1,900 refund on their 2022 state income taxes; they claimed the standard deduction on their 2022 Federal income tax return. Alfred and Beulah paid $4,500 interest and $1,450 property taxes on their personal residence in 2023. They paid sales taxes of $1,400, for which they maintain the receipts. Alfred and Beulah have never owned or used any digital assets, and they do not want to contribute to the Presidential Election Campaign.
