I'm sorry for any confusion, but as an AI text model, I'm unable to physically prepare tax forms. However, I can provide some guidance on how to approach this. 1. **Form 1040**: This is the main form where you report your income, deductions, and credits. Kelly and Chanelle's income from salaries, business, and other sources like interest and dividends will be reported here. 2. **Schedule A**: This is where you itemize deductions. The Chambers can include their home mortgage interest, real estate taxes, property taxes, and charitable contributions. However, they cannot deduct their credit card finance charges, losses from gambling, or sales tax (unless they choose to deduct sales tax instead of state income tax). 3. **Schedule B**: This is for reporting interest and dividend income. The interest from the savings account and City of Boston Bonds, and the dividend from 3M stock will be reported here. 4. **Schedule C**: This is for reporting profit or loss from a business. Chanelle will report her gross revenue and business expenses here. Kelly will also report his band income and expenses here. Note that political donations are not deductible as business expenses. 5. **Schedule D**: This is for reporting capital gains and losses. Chanelle's loss from the Thurston Co. stock will be reported here. 6. **Schedule SE**: This is for self-employment tax. Both Kelly (for his band income) and Chanelle (for her business
