19- - J. Peeples Trust and $3,212 from their J. Masters note. Thus, petitioners received a total of $17,952 interest income in 1990. On their 1990 Federal income tax return, petitioners reported $15,1282 interest income, consisting of $345 from Sunburst Bank, $172 from Planters Bank & Trust Co., $11,339 from J. Peeples Trust, and $3,212 from their J. Masters note. In the notice of deficiency, respondent increased petitioners' income by $2,824, stating that they received interest income of $17,952 in the taxable year 1990, rather than $15,128 as reported on their 1990 return. Self-Employment Taxes Petitioners reported self-employment tax on their Federal income tax returns for 1990 and 1991 in the amounts of $7,848.90 and $10,246.60, respectively. They claimed Schedule C deductions for self-employment tax on the returns in the amounts of $7,848.90 and $10,246.60, respectively. Through adjustments made to petitioners' 1990 and 1991 returns at the Memphis Service Center, petitioners were allowed to deduct one-half of the self-employment tax reported by them on their 1990 and 1991 returns. 2 Petitioners erroneously calculated the $15,128 interest income reported on their Federal income tax return for the taxable year 1990. The individual items of interest income detailed by petitioners on Schedule B attached to their 1990 return total $15,068, which is $60 less than $15,128. Thus, in the notice of deficiency respondent determined that petitioners failed to report interest income in the amount of $2,824, which is $60 less than the amount of interest income petitioners failed to disclose on Schedule B attached to their 1990 return.Page: Previous 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Next
