Q1: I assume the Travel expense will be calculated as:
Hotels ($200 Ã 2) $400
Rental car ($50 Ã 2) $10
Incidental expenses ($30 x 2) $60
Total expenses $560
If I'm correct were would be the placements on a Tax return?
Q2: I assume itâs not a short-term capital loss instead it's awash sale because the he repurchased the same stock before 30 days.So would be a disallowed loss and added to the new basis of thebought stock. $13,800 + $6000 disallowed loss? I assume stock 1-5are just reported on a 8949 long term since they're realized on2015.
