- Amee moved to the San Francisco Bay Area to work for a technology start-up 25 years ago. The start-up eventually went public, and Amee is now one of the company's most senior and successful employees. Amee has owned a house in Nob Hill for the past 20 years. Although she is grateful that the house has increased in value significantly while she has owned it, her property tax bill also has increased substantially. Given the $10,000 maximun regular tax deduction for state and local taxes imposed by the TCJA and the facts her property taxes create an AMT adjustment, Amee has decided that she would save a significant amount in AMT if she moved to a state with lower property taxes. Identify the flaw in Amee's logic with respect to the interaction of the $10,000 state and local tax deduction for regular tax purposes and the related AMT adjustment.arrow_forwardLina, age 32, has a high-deductible health plan (HDHP) at her work.

- The Johnsons have accumulated a nest egg of $40,000 that they intend to use as a down payment toward the purchase of a new house. Because their present gross income has placed them in a relatively high tax bracket, they have decided to invest a minimum of $2600/month in monthly payments (to take advantage of the tax deduction) toward the purchase of their house. However, because of other financial obligations, their monthly payments should not exceed $3200. If local mortgage rates are 5.5% / year compounded monthly for a conventional 30-year mortgage, what is the price range of houses that they should consider?

Her marginal tax rate is 32 percent, and she fancies European sports cars. She purchases a new auto each year. Seiko is currently a manager for Idaho Office Supply, Inc.

The new position pays only $84,200 per year, but it allows employees to purchase one new car per year at a discount of $21,400. This discount qualifies as a nontaxable fringe benefit.
