Sagot :
Answer:
a. Each partner's gross income from the partnership for the tax year is $_________
$90,800
b. Community Property:
a. California.
Doug: $51,100 Liz: $57,200
b. Texas.
Doug: $54,150 Liz: $54,150
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Partnership profits = $270,000
Add Insurance premium 2,400
Total profits shareable $272,400
Share of each partner = $90,800 ($272,400/3)
(Or Share of profit $90,000 + Premium $800 = $90,800)
b) Community Property:
Doug's salary $41,000
Liz's salary $55,000
Rent on apartments purchased by Liz 15 years ago $8,000
Dividends on stock Doug inherited from his mother 4 years ago $1,900
Interest on a savings account in Liz's name funded with her salary $2,400
Total community property = $108,300
Less Separate Property:
Less Liz's rent $8,000
Less Doug's dividends $1,900 9,900
Remaining community property = $98,400
This is shared equally ($98,400/2) = $49,200
a. California.
Doug: $51,100 ($49,200 + $1,900) Liz: $57,200 ($49,200 + $8,000)
b. Texas.
Doug: $54,150 Liz: $54,150 ($108,300/2)
c) Texas and California are two of the nine states that have community property jurisdiction. The implication is that any property acquired by a couple during their marriage is equally owned by both spouses. In California, the spouse also owns a one-half interest in your regular income, provided it does not come from your separate property. But in Texas, income from separate property is included in the community property and is equally shared, though the separate property itself remains separate and is not shareable.
