Assignment:
A taxpayer suffered a $20,000 capital loss early this year (from selling some securities) and is considering two alternatives for generating extra income. The first alternative is to find part-time employment at the local university teaching courses on taxes. The second alternative is to purchase a fixer-upper bungalow and spend his evenings and weekends cleaning, repairing, and painting it, then sell the fixedup property. The taxpayer estimates that his income before taxes would be about $45,000 from either alternative. Evaluate the taxpayer’s options.
Your answer must be typed, double-spaced, Times New Roman font (size 12), one-inch margins on all sides, APA format and also include references.
