He used $8,000 of the scholarship to pay his tuition and fees for the year and $2,000 for Jamie's day care. Jamie attended Little Kids Daycare Center, a state-certified child care facility. Paul received a statement related to the Green bonds saying that there was $45 of original issue discount amortiza- tion during 2019. Paul maintains the receipts for the sales taxes he paid of $735. Paul lives at 1610 Cherry Lane, Bradenton, FL 34212, and his Social Security number is 111-11-1111. Jamie's Social Security number is 123-45-6789. The university withheld $2,000 of Federal income tax from Paul's salary. Paul is not itemizing his deductions. Part 1—Tаx Coтрutation Compute Paul's lowest tax liability for 2019. Part 2–Tax Planning Paul is concerned because the Green bonds were worth only $18,000 at the end of 2019, $5,000 less than he paid for them. He is an inexperienced investor and wants to know if this $5,000 is deductible. The bonds had original issue discount of $2,000 when he purchased them, and he is curious about how that affects his investment in the bonds. The bonds had 20 years left to maturity when he pur- chased them. Draft a brief letter to Paul explaining how to handle these items. Also prepare a memo for Paul's tax file.
