Lanceworks for the convention bureau of the local Chamber of Commerce, and Wanda is employed part-time as a paralegal for a law firm.During 2023, the Deans had the following receipts:Line Item Description Amount AmountSalaries ($60,000 for Lance, $43,000 forWanda) $103,000Interest incomeCity of Albuquerque general purpose bonds $1,000Ford Motor company bonds 1,100Ally Bank certificate of deposit 400Total 2,500Child support payments from John Allen 7,200Annual gifts from parents 26,000Settlement from Roadrunner Touring Company 90,000Lottery winnings 600Federal income tax refund (for tax year 2022)400Wanda was previously married to John Allen. When they divorced several years ago, Wanda wasawarded custody of their two children, Penny and Kyle. (Note: Wanda has never issued a Form8332 waiver.) Under the divorce decree, John was obligated to pay alimony and child supportthealimony payments were to terminate if Wanda remarried.In July, while going to lunch in downtown Santa Fe, Wanda was injured by a tour bus. Because thedriver was clearly at fault, the owner of the bus, Roadrunner Touring Company, paid her medicalexpenses (including a one-week stay in a hospital). To avoid a lawsuit, Roadrunner alsotransferred $90,000 to her in settlement of the personal injuries she sustained.The Deans had the following expenditures for 2023:Line Item Description Amount AmountMedical expenses (not covered by insurance) $7,200TaxesProperty taxes on personal residence $3,600State of New Mexico income tax (includes amount withheldfrom wages during 2023)4,200Total 7,800Interest on home mortgage (First National Bank)6,500Charitable contributions (cash)3,600Life insurance premiums (policy on Lance's life)1,200Contribution to traditional IRA (on Wanda's behalf)6,500Traffic fines 300Contribution to the reelection campaign fund of the mayor of Santa Fe 500Funeral expenses for Wayne Boyle 6,300The life insurance policy was taken out by Lance several years ago and designates Wanda as thebeneficiary. As a part-time employee, Wanda is excluded from coverage under her employer'spension plan. Consequently, she provides for her own retirement with a traditional IRA obtained ata local trust company. Because the mayor is a member of the local Chamber of Commerce, Lancefelt compelled to make the political contribution.The Deans' household includes the following, for whom they provide more than half of the support:Line ItemDescription Social Security Number Birth DateLance Dean (age 42)123-45-678612/16/1981Wanda Dean (age 40)123-45-678708/08/1983Penny Allen (age 19)123-45-678810/09/2004Kyle Allen (age 16)123-45-678005/03/2007Wayne Boyle (age 75)123-45-678506/15/1948Penny graduated from high school on May 9,2023, and is undecided about college.

Gross income includes all income,unless the tax law provides for a specific exclusion. Individual taxpayers have two categories ofdeductions: (1) deductions for adjusted gross income (deductions from gross income to arrive atadjusted gross income) and (2) deductions from adjusted gross income. As a general rule,personal expenditures are disallowed as deductions in arriving at taxable income. However,Congress allows specified personal expenses as deductions from AGI (commonly referred to asitemized deductions). AGI is an important subtotal that serves as the basis for computingpercentage limitations on certain itemized deductions such as medical expenses, charitablecontributions, and certain casualty losses.Complete Schedule 1 for Lance and Wanda Dean for 2023.SCHEDULE 1(Form 1040)Department of the TreasuryInternal Revenue ServiceAdditional Income and Adjustments to IncomeAttach to Form 1040,1040-SR, or 1040-NR.Go to www.irs.gov/Form1040 for instructions and the latest informatioName(s) shown on Form 1040,1040-SR, or 1040-NRLance H and Wanda B DeanPart I Additional Income8a8b fill in the blank 5223fefbbfdff938c8d8e8f1 Taxable refunds, credits, or offsets of state and local income taxes ..............................2a Alimony received .................................................................b Date of original divorce or separation agreement (see instructions):3 Business income or (loss).
