Dan plans to reduce his work schedule and work only half-time for WJJJ in 2019. He has been writing songs for several years and wants to devote more time to developing a career as a songwriter. Because of the uncertainty in the music business, however, he would like you to make all computations assuming that he will have no income from songwriting in 2019. To make up for the loss of income, Freida plans to increase the amount of time she spends selling real estate. She estimates that she will be able to earn $90,000 in 2019. Assume that all other income and expense items will be approximately the same as they were in 2018 (including the prize winnings). Assume that Willie will be enrolled in college as a full-time student for the summer and fall semesters. Will the Butlers have more or less disposable income (after Federal income tax) in 2019? What’s your advice to the Butlers, and prepare a memo for the tax files.
