Brenda Carlyle attended Kansas State University during 2010–2014. She incurred education expenses of $10,000 in total for her education, and $1,500 of that amount was incurred in 2014 for her last semester. To finance her education, she borrowed $7,000 through a federal student loan program and borrowed another $3,000 from Kansas State Credit Union for educational purposes. After graduation, she accepted a position with the Dallas office of BDO Seidman and moved there in May 2014. She lives at 4560 Ranchero Lane, Dallas, TX 75201. Her social security number is 412-34-5670 (date of birth 7/10/1992).

Her W-2 contained the following information:

  • Wages (box 1) = $67,533.05
  • Federal W/H (box 2) = $ 8,994.95
