You can choose a movie clip (youtube clips) from the list below. Goal is to identify federal tax issues and how the tax law should be applied. Also, if relevant, discuss how the actions of the character involved would be altered if significantly influenced by the tax factors. Don’t try to do this project based on your recollection of the movie: you will overlook possible tax issues that way. The write up should be 3 Pages. Your grade will reflect how well you identified the issues, how deeply you discussed them, how well you resolved them. The grade will also factor in your writing.
The paper should be organized by identifying the tax issue, how it is dealt with in the movie and what the tax consequences are to the character. Identify the relevant Code sections and/ or the tax concepts (ch 2) using the text book and any other sources (list the sources).
