inessss [21]

Answer:

The refund claimed should be shown as a benefit due to loss carryback in 2018.

Explanation:

Since Tanner, Inc. incurred a financial and taxable loss for 2018. and decided to use the carryback provisions as it had been profitable up to this year, the amounts related to the carryback should be reported in the 2018 financial statements as a benefit due.

Tax loss carryback is when a corporation <u>retrospectively adjusts its tax returns for prior periods</u> if it incurs a net operating loss (NOL) in current period.

The loss carryback <u>generates a tax refund</u> for the business because it reduces previous year tax liability. After the carried back loss is applied, it will be <u>as though the business overpaid taxes the previous year; which will now be shown as a benefit in the current year</u>

In 2016, Sarah (who files as single) had silverware worth $10,000 (basis $6,000) stolen from her home. Sarah's insurance company
-BARSIC- [3]

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.
