(459 Ellis Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17111), is an accrual basis taxpayer that repairs automobiles. In late December 2019, the company repaired Samuel Mosleys car and charged him 1,000. Samuel did not think the problem had been fixed and refused to pay; thus, Trip refused to release the automobile. In early January 2020, Trip made a few adjustments and convinced Samuel that the automobile was working properly. At that time, Samuel agreed to pay only 900 because he did not have the use of the car for a week. Trip said fine, accepted the 900, and released the automobile to Samuel. An IRS agent thinks Trip, as an accrual basis taxpayer, should report 1,000 of income in 2019, when the work was done, and then deduct a 100 loss in 2020. Prepare a memo to Susan Apple, the treasurer of Trip, with the recommended treatment for the disputed income.arrow_forwardHow do the all events and economic performance requirements apply to the following transactions by an accrual basis taxpayer? a.

The corporation paid 7,000 in estimated state income taxes in 2019 and paid 2,000 on 2018 state income taxes when it filed its 2018 state income tax return in March 2019.
