11. In addition to the items already noted, the Frosts had the following expenditures for 2013: 
Maris contribution to her traditional IRA
Net gambling loss

$5,500
1,000
2,700

Medical and dental expenses not covered by insurance 6,200

Interest on home mortgage

4,000

Cash Contributions:
Goodwill (Sioux Falls branch)
South Dakota governors election campaign fund

1,200
300 1,500

The $1,000 net gambling loss for 2013 is the difference between the Frosts gambling winnings
of $1,200 and losses of $2,200. The life insurance premiums relate to the universal life
insurance policies that Will and Mari own. The first beneficiary on both policies is the other
spouse, with the second beneficiaries being the children. Included in the medical expenses are
$1,200 incurred in 2012, which was paid in early February 2013. The Frosts can substantiate
the $3,200 in sales taxes paid based on their purchase receipts for the year. The local sales tax
rate in Sioux Falls is 2%. [HINT: Be sure to check to see if the Optional Sales Tax Tables provide
the Frosts with a greater deduction.] Mari contributed to the governors campaign fund because
she thinks his influence is key in getting the Lincoln County land rezoned for commercial use
(see item 6 above).

12.
The Frosts maintain a household that includes their two children, Austin (age 16) and Emma
(age 19). Austin is a junior in high school and a talented wrestler. In hopes of competing at the
state tournament, all of his free time is consumed with weight training and wrestling practices.
Emma graduated from high school on June 7, 2013, and is undecided about college. Emma is
an accomplished vocalist and during 2013 earned $7,200 performing at various events (e.g.,
weddings, funerals). She placed most of her earnings in a savings account and kept only a
small amount to spend on herself.
