In 2016, Sarah (who files as single) had silverware worth $10,000 (basis $6,000) stolen from her home. Sarah's insurance company

told her that her policy did not cover the theft. Sarah's other itemized deductions last year were $2,000. She had AGI of $30,000 last year. In August of 2017, Sarah's insurance company decided that Sarah's policy did cover the theft of the silverware and they paid Sarah $5,000. Determine the tax treatment of the $5,000 received by Sarah during 2017.

Answer:

C) None of the $5,000 should be included in gross income.

Explanation:

During 2016, Sarah's itemized deductions (other than the stolen silverware) were only $2,000. If Sarah wanted to deduct the stolen silverware, she could have taken a casualty loss = $6,000 - $100 - $3,000 = $2,900. Her total itemized deductions would equal $2,000 + $2,900 = $4,900.

But during that year, Sarah should have opted for a standard deduction of $6,300 which is higher than her itemized deductions. That means that Sarah didn't claim any deduction for her silverware, so any money received from the insurance company should not be included in her gross income.

Tara wants to put a small portion of every paycheck into a low-risk investment. which would be her best option?
nydimaria [60]

Tara's best option to put a small portion of every paycheck into a low-risk investment is investing in an S&P 500 index fund.

<h3>What is a paycheck?</h3>

A paycheck can be defined as a financial document that is issued by an employer to an employee as payment for the work done over a period of time.

<h3>What is risk tolerance?</h3>

In Insurance, risk tolerance can be defined as the willingness of an individual or organization to take a risk in business transactions and investments, in order to get a potentially positive reward.

Generally, the high risk that is associated with investments such as stocks, high-yield bonds, etc., is often perceived by investors to be worth the higher reward these investment brings.

In this scenario, we can reasonably infer that Tara's best option to put a small portion of every paycheck into a low-risk investment is investing in an S&P 500 index fund.

  • It conveys the nation's average economic output (or income) per person.
  • The population figure corresponds to the year's median (or mid-year) population.

The price deflator, a statistical tool, is used to convert nominal GDP to constant prices.
