I need help completing this Tax return. Attached is the necessary information. Thank you. Form 1040 return for Francisco and Eva Martinez. The instructions are indicated at the bottom of the assignment.Facts:Francisco E. and Eva A. Martinez are married and live at 46 Milano Street, Raleigh, NC 27513. They file a joint return and are calendar year, cash basis taxpayers.Francisco is a self-employed accountant (professional activity code is 541213). He maintains an office at 65 Oreo Way, Suite 105, Raleigh, NC 27514. Francisco’s work-related expenses for 2015 are as follows:Office rent (prepaid 12 months on 6/1/2015)                                          $18,000Utilities                                                                                                                    2,400Office expenses (supplies, , etc.)                                                                   4,800Fines issued by Raleigh zoning department related to business             300Tolls (business related)                                                                                         550Parking expense (business related)                                                                  250              State and local license fees                                                                                 600Renter’s insurance (prepaid 18 months on 6/1/2015)                              1,800Replacement of reception room furnishings (10/5/2015)                           3,000Purchased Apple iMac (business related)                                                2,500Meals                                                                                                              1,400Entertainment (Carolina Panthers tickets with clients)                            3,000Travel                                                                                                            1,800        As is the case with all of Francisco’s business transactions, the meals and entertainment expenses are properly documented and supported by receipts. The meals and entertainment expense relates to taking clients out to eat and discussing business during the meals. Francisco would then take the client/clients across the street to see home Carolina Panthers football games. No business was discussed during or after the games. Francisco uses MACRS and bonus depreciation for expensing computer and furniture. Francisco traveled to Orlando for a 2 day accounting convention and stayed an extra 3 days for sightseeing. Travel expense is composed of the following ($400 airfare round-trip; $200/night hotel which offers free meals, $50/day rental car, $30/day incidental expenses). Of 14,000 total miles driven in 2015, Francisco drove his truck (a Toyota Tundra purchased on 8/1/2012) 7,500 miles for business (not including commuting). The Martinez’s use the automatic mileage method of claiming automobile expenses.2.  Eva works as a sales executive for Avis rental cars. She receives several fringe benefits including group health insurance for her family. She purchased a new Mercedes from Avis for $50,000 when the FMV was $80,000. The purchase cost for Avis from Mercedes was $60,000. Eva’s company offers free group term life insurance for all their employees. Eva received $100,000 in life insurance coverage in 2015 that cost Avis $10 per $1,000 of coverage. Eva drives to various sales meetings away from her primary place of business. As a result she drove 18,000 miles in 2015 of which 7,000 was business related. Eva uses standard mileage deduction.  She also incurred $500 in tolls. Eva’s company uses an accountable plan and reimbursed her for her mileage and tolls.3. On September 1, 2012 the Martinez’s purchased a house in Augusta, GA located on the National Golf Club of Augusta, home of the Masters Golf Championship. The house is held as a rental investment. The property cost $900,000 (of which $400,000 is allocated to the land) and is located at 1606 Jack Nicklaus Way, Augusta, GA 30904. The Martinez family resided in the house for personal recreation totaling 30 days and rented the house out 160 days in 2015. $48,000 in gross rental receipts was collected in 2015. The Martinez’s allocate rental expenses per the IRS Method. They use MACRS straight-line depreciation, assuming the mid-month convention.Information regarding the rental property expenses for 2015 are summarized below:        Refundable damage deposit                                                                  4,000        Property taxes                                                                                          9,800        Interest on mortgage                                                                           14,500        Repairs                                                                                                      4,800        Insurance                                                                                                     2,500        Utilities                                                                                                     3,000        Maintenance                                                                                      $8,800Francisco bought 400 shares of Apple stock on January 1, 2013 for $200 per share with a brokerage fee of $1,000.

The accounting services performed would have been charged at $4,000 to the client. The client’s golf cart had a FMV of $3,500 and he had previously paid $5,000 for the cart.

Benjamin was visiting Francisco and injured his back while assisting in cleaning out the garage. The remaining $4,700 was used to cover co-payments and uninsured medical and dental procedures for Eva and their children. The remaining $300 was for purchases of over the counter medications.During 2015, Francisco borrowed $90,000 through a home equity loan to pay off other debts and take his family on a 3 week trip to Pebble Beach, CA.
