DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
1. (LO 1) Various answers are possible, including using the Key Terms at the end of each
chapter, referring to the Glossary (Appendix C), looking up the footnote resources to
the Internal Revenue Code in Appendix D, using chapter features (e.g., Global Tax
Issues, Ethics & Equity, Tax Planning, and Framework 1040), examining the tax forms
used in the chapters, and completing additional end-of-chapter assignments. All of
these resources will help students engage more deeply with the materials and help
their understanding.
2. (LO 1, 6)
a. Yes. John must now start including any rental income in his taxable income. This
will require him to document rental receipts and separate his home expenses
between personal and rental use, and he may be subject to the transient
occupancy tax.
b. Yes. Theresa has become self-employed. Now she will be subject to self-
employment tax and may have to make quarterly installment payments of
estimated income and self-employment tax. Theresa will be required to make
payroll tax payments if she hires individuals to work in her business.
c. Yes. Paul’s employer might have some moving expenses that it can deduct
(in general, Paul cannot deduct moving expenses). Paul’s personal taxes will
change because Florida does not impose an income tax but California does.
3. (LO 1, 6) The income tax consequences that result are Marvin’s principal concern. Any
rent he receives is taxed as income, but operating expenses and depreciation will
generate deductions that offset some or all of the income or even yield a loss. Marvin
must also consider the effect of other taxes. Because the property is being converted
from residential to commercial use, he can expect an increase in the ad valorem
property

4. (LO 2)
a. This is the ideal approach to handling a tax cut—for every dollar lost, a new
dollar is gained.
b. All the sunset provision does is reinstate the law as it existed prior to the tax cut.
Here, the possibility exists that Congress will rescind (or postpone) the sunset
provision before it takes effect.
c. Indexation is a procedure whereby the IRS makes annual adjustments to certain
key tax components to take into account inflation, as required by law. Some of the
more important components that are adjusted include tax brackets and the
standard deduction amounts.
5. (LO 2)
a. To encourage pension plans is to stimulate saving (economic consideration). Also, it
provides security from the private sector for retirement to supplement public
programs which tend to provide lesser benefits (social considerations). An opposing
consideration is that only higher income individuals are able to fully fund their
pension plans and, thus, gain the greater tax benefit from the favorable rules for
retirement savings.
b. To make education more widely available is to promote a socially desirable
objective. A better educated workforce also serves to improve the country’s
economic capabilities. As a result, education tax incentives can be justified on both
social and economic grounds. A weakness in the current incentives is that they are
only for college education, rather than also in preparation for other careers
including health care, personal care, construction, and skilled trades (e.g.,
mechanics, electricians, and plumbers).
c. The encouragement of home ownership can be justified on both social and
economic grounds. For example, if a person owns a home and has no mortgage by
the time they retire, their monthly living expenses will be lower. An opposing
consideration to the tax breaks for home ownership is that the mortgage interest
deduction applies to debt up to $750,000, thus providing a greater tax break to
higher income individuals who can qualify for this large of a mortgage. Also, renters
indirectly pay property taxes through their rent but receive no tax deduction for
that indirect payment. Finally, the home ownership tax breaks today apply once
the home is acquired; there are no tax incentives to help an individual buy a home
(such as a first-time homebuyer tax credit).
6. (LO 2, 3)
a. The credit may be justified by both social and economic considerations. It is
socially desirable to encourage parents to provide care for their children while they
work. The credit also increases the workforce by allowing those who may not have
been able to work outside of the home due to the cost of child care to do so.
b. These deductions raise the issue of preferential tax treatment for homeowners—

taxpayers who rent their personal residences do not receive comparable treatment.
