The following items are taxable in the hands of Susan:
Salary income | $44000 |
Dividends | $600 |
Share in the partnership income | $4000 |
Lottery winnings | $2000 |
The partnership distribution of $1000 and $600 will not be taxed in the hands of Susan, because she had paid tax on the partnership income. If she itemizes the deduction, then she can claim deduction of cost of lottery tickets of $50.
