Question

Marcy Tucker received the following items this year. Determine to what extent each item is included in her AGI. (Leave no cells blank - be sure to enter "0" wherever required.) A $25,000 cash gift from her parents. A $500 cash award from the local Chamber of Commerce for her winning entry in a contest to name a new public park. $8,000 alimony from her former husband, which he paid under the terms of their 2011 divorce decree. $100,000 cash inheritance from her grandfather.

Answer 1

Answer: A. $0

B. $500

C. $8,000

D. $0

Explanation:

A. $0.

The $25,000 is a cash gift from her parents which is a cash gift from relatives and so is not included in the AGI.

B. $500

The entire amount is included in her AGI as winnings from competitions are included in AGI calculations.

C. $8,000

Alimony payments are included in AGI calculations so the whole alimony figure is to be included.

D. $0

Cash inheritance is not to be included in AGI calculations for tax purposes so the entire figure of $100,000 should not be included.
