Answer: B. a 2 point capital gain

Explanation:

Municipal Bonds have to be amortized using the straight-line method and this applied to both newly issued or bonds being traded at a premium.

The bond in question is trading at 105 and so has a 5 point premium which needs to be amortized at 1 point a year for 5 years. As it was bought after two years, the amortization was 2 points which means the cost of the bond should be;

105 - 2 = 103

Yet it was sold for 105. The gain is therefore

= 105 - 103

= 2 point capital gain

Which of the following expenses is NOT deductible when a taxpayer uses the simplified method of calculating the home-office dedu
Rasek [7]

The simplified method of computing home office expenses limits the number of home office expenses allowed to a fixed amount regardless of the amount of business income or the size of the home office.

<h3>How do you calculate home office deductions?</h3>

A business owner can calculate the home office deduction in two ways: regular and simplified. The regular method would require you to use Form 8829 to calculate your deduction, which would include figures for the area of your home and the total hours it was used for business purposes, your business income, and other business expenses.

If you itemize deductions and use the simplified method for a taxable year, you can deduct home expenses that would otherwise be deductible as itemized deductions on Form 1040 or 1040-SR, Schedule A, without reducing these expenses by the amounts allocable to the simplified method.
