Lara Reyes · Answer 1

1. Gain on sale of Augusta County bonds $800

2. Interest on U. S. government savings bonds $400

3. Interest on state income tax refund $200

4. Interest on Augusta County bonds $700

5. Patronage dividend from Potato Growers Cooperative $350

The 1, 2, and 3 are included in the gross income and the last two statements have no treatment or we can say the 4 and 5 statements are excluded while computing the gross income because in this question, the tax benefit rule is applied.

These last two statements does not show or reflect any recovered amount that's why we do not consider it.
