The Blacks own a ski condo located at 123 Buncombe Lane, Brian Head, UT 84719. The condo was rented for 189 days during 2023 and used by the Blacks for 21 days. The rental activity does not rise to the level to qualify for the QBI deduction. Pertinent information about the condo rental is as follows:
Line Item DescriptionAmountRental income$25,000Mortgage interest reported on Form 109812,000Homeowners' association dues4,200Utilities4,400Maintenance4,600Depreciation (assume fully depreciated)0
The above amounts do not reflect any allocation between rental and personal use of the condo. The Blacks are active managers of the condo.
Skylar runs a small car wash in Las Vegas as a sole proprietor. The business name is A1A Car Wash and is located at 4900 Cutler Ave NE, Las Vegas, NV 89146. The employer identification number is 19-3451234. She uses the cash method of accounting and does not track inventory of the sundries she sells (air fresheners, etc.). She therefore does not have beginning or ending inventories and recognizes the cost as supplies expense. The business code for a car wash is 811192. Her financial results for 2023 were as follows:
Line Item DescriptionAmountRevenues:Car Wash$32,100Sundries3,200Total$35,300Expenses:Payroll$22,000Utilities2,000Depreciation0Taxes1,000Licenses300Sundries cost600Insurance900Advertising500Total$27,300Net profit$8,000
The business office at the car wash is not conducive to any type of work. It is basically a glorified broom closet. As a result, Skylar has a home office in their primary residence (which they rent). The office is 200 square feet in their 2,000 square foot apartment. They pay rent of $16,000 per year and their 2023 utilities are $1,200.
In 2019, Walter loaned his friend, Hank Shorter $5,000. In 2023, Hank declared bankruptcy and Walter is certain he will never get paid.
Walter is attending the Las Vegas Polytechnical University, pursuing a master's degree in chemistry. His employer has an education assistance program that paid Walter $5,250 in 2023. His total 2023 tuition was $10,000. The remaining tuition was paid for through the Los Gatos Hermanos Foundation scholarship for adult learners.
Walter has been experimenting with a new candy formula in his garage chemistry lab. He has been working on a new blueberry flavor that tastes more like real blueberries. For the past few years, he has spent between $1,000 and $2,000 per year on this venture but has never made any money. In 2023, a bakery in town bought some of Walter's formula for $800 to try a new blueberry muffin formula but did not purchase any additional formula after the first attempt. Walter spent $1,000 on lab supplies during 2023. Walter does not realistically expect to ever turn a profit, he just does not care for the existing artificial blueberry flavors.
