You have been a CPA for many years and recently opened your own practice focusing on small businesses. You have a meeting with a client, Jack, who has an interesting career as a professional gambler. He makes about $100,000 per year and has won many tournaments on the circuit. He is considering entering the WSOP to play for “the bracelet.”

As is standard procedure, you ask Jack for his taxes, and he says he hasn’t filed taxes since 2016 (meaning he has not filed 2017, 2018, and 2019, where 2019 is the current year), because he does not work, due to his time spent playing poker and attending tournaments. He actually says he is now concerned because his father said he should have been filing taxes, but he believed an accountant he met at a party, who after many, many martinis said he would not have to file taxes because this is a “hobby.”

Your tasks:

Jack makes good money now, but in 2017 he thinks he had losses and barely broke even in 2018. The first project Jack agrees to pay you for ($1300 max) is for a tax memo concerning this issue.

1. Using an appropriate research tool, research to see if Gambling is income and subject to tax.

2. Using an appropriate research tool, research to see if Jack does have to file or not.

3. Assuming he does (regardless of the answer above), can you still file a return he has not filed previously in 2017 and 2018?

Using the information above, write the memo using the header below:
=====================================================================================

To:  File

From:  [Name]

Sbj:  Deductibility of Property Taxes under Code Section [Code Section] for the 2020 Tax Year. 

Review your problem or issue and the study materials to formulate a PICOT question for your capstone project change proposal. A PICOT question starts with a designated patient population in a particular clinical area and identifies clinical problems or issues that arise from clinical care. The intervention used to address the problem must be a nursing practice intervention. Include a comparison of the nursing intervention to a patient population not currently receiving the nursing intervention, and specify the timeframe needed to implement the change process.  Formulate a PICOT question using the PICOT format (provided in the assigned readings) that addresses the clinical nursing problem.

The PICOT question will provide a framework for your capstone project change proposal.

In a paper of 500-750 words, clearly identify the clinical problem and how it can result in a positive patient outcome.

Describe the problem in the PICOT question as it relates to the following:

1. Evidence-based solution
2. Nursing intervention
3. Patient care
4. Health care agency
5. Nursing practice

Create a PowerPoint Presentation to discuss the following…

Sgt. Eddie Johns leaned back against the chair in the outpatient orthopedic clinic. His head was killing him! He wasn’t sure which was worse, the “morning after” headache or not being able to sleep at night. At least when he had a few beers under his belt so he could catch a few hours of sleep. It had been like this since he was air evacuated back stateside from Afghanistan after the roadside bomb went off. He was thankful that he had only broken his leg in a couple of places and gotten a bad bump on the head. They called that traumatic brain injury but he didn’t know what that was and really didn’t believe them anyway. He was still thinking just fine. His friend Joe wasn’t so lucky! How was Joe going to learn to walk on those artificial legs? He was still in the hospital in Washington, DC. That was pretty far from his home. Eddie wished he could visit Joe. They had been in the same platoon for 9 months. But, Eddie was glad that he had been able to come back to his own home town for outpatient treatment. It took an hour to get here but at least he could see his girl almost every day. Sure he had moved back in with his mom but it was easier to have someone to help him get around and cook for him. It was a bummer that he couldn’t work right now. He guessed it didn’t matter much since he really didn’t have a job to go back to. He had been replaced at the plant. They said they would find something for him to do once he could get around more easily. Eddie sure hoped the doc would take the pins out of his leg today and give him a clearance to work.
