**Tax Computation Problem**

**Scenario:**
Cecil S. Seymour is a 64-year-old widower with an income for 2019 as follows:

1. **Pension** from former employer (City of Naborhood National Bank): $9,850
2. **Interest on CD** held for over one year at Penn Mutual Savings Bank: $4,500
3. **Dividends** received from Bell Telephone common stock: $3,000
4. **Life insurance annuity** contract from Great Life Insurance: $5,000
5. **Rent income on townhouse**: $9,000

The cost of the annuity was $46,800, and Cecil was expected to receive a total of 20 annual payments of $5,000. Cecil’s dependent daughter, Sarah, received $2,000 from Cecil on January 2, 2019. She used some of this money to start a new business. Sarah borrowed $6,000 from Cecil under a note due in 10 years with 8% interest because she could not afford to pay it. Cecil does not expect to collect the principal eventually. Sarah provides her own support from her business earnings. Other relevant information is presented below from her mother. 

**Expenses on Rental Townhouse:**
