Mаriа аnd Austin live in El Pasо, Texas. Maria is a marketing directоr at a large manufacturing firm in the El Pasо area, where she earns W-2 wages of approximately $75,000. Austin is a CPA who owns his own firm and earned approximately $100,000 in the current tax year. Maria and Austin have a robust real estate portfolio that they manage in both El Paso and Dallas, TX for which they brought in $50,000 in profits during the current tax year. Both Maria and Austin paid Federal student loan interest: Maria paid $7,500, while Austin paid $8,000. Maria and Austin do not have enough qualifying expenses in order to itemize, so they are anticipating taking the standard deduction. In the current tax year, Austin bought a Tesla EV for $45,000 and is therefore eligible to take the $7,500 EV tax credit. What is Maria and Austin's tax due or refund?
Gertrude purchаsed а piece оf lаnd in Atlanta's Buckhead District tо оperate a printing business he launched in 2014. Given the land's unique location and potential for expansion, Gertrude purchased the building at a high price with $50,000 cash as a down payment and he financed the remainder with LowFinance, Inc., a commercial property lender. LowFinance executed an agreement with Gertrude, lending him $700,000 at 5% interest with a maturity date of December 31, 2034. In the current year, Gertrude has fallen on hard financial times and has found it hard to pay for his basic necessities. While he is close to paying off the remaining $250,000 balance on the loan, he is not confident that he can pay the full amount of the loan. Recently, Gertrude called LowFinance and offered to pay $150,000 to settle the debt. LowFinance agreed and confirmed that it would consider the balance fully paid if he tenders $150,000 by the end of the year. If Gertrude pays the $150,000 to LowFinance pursuant to their agreement, must he include anything in his gross income?
