The Spicers will prepare only one joint tax return, their Form 1040, along with all the required schedules and forms, including the Schedule C where the income and expenses for Bill's Market are reported. A Form 4797 is completed for the business property dispositions; the

sale of the stock is entered on the Form 8949; the net gain on the equipment disposition and the gain or loss on the stock are both included on the Spicer's Schedule D. The depreciation recapture, if any, is also entered on Form 4797 and is transferred directly to the Spicers' Form 1040.

Two other items are not included on the Schedule C—the health insurance for William and his family (which is deducted on page 1 of the Form 1040 as a deduction for AGI) and the charitable contribution (which is included with the Spicers' personal charitable deductions on their Schedule A). June is allowed to deduct 14 cents per mile for the 1,200 miles driven ($168) for her volunteer work along with her out-of-pocket charitable expenses of $232.

Their other itemized deductions are $14,000 for mortgage interest, $7,800 for R/E taxes and $680 for Personal Property taxes. Their dividend income is taxed at the Capital Gain rate, while the rest of their income is taxed at the regular rates.
