Description (1) Gross income (2) For AGI deductions (3) Adjusted gross income (4) Standard deduction (5) Itemized deductions Taxable income

Explanation / Answer

Gross Income=105,000+10,000=115,000

For AGI Deductions=6000

Adjusted Gross Income=109,000

Standard Deduction=9250 Itemized deduction=15000+10000=25000

TP may deduct greater of his standard deduction or his itemized deductions from AGI so Itemized to be reduced

Child support =5,000(both are applicable 3000+2000)

Allowed as per rules

A qualifying child must:

Taxable Income=$ 78,000

C) The Child support deductible will be reduced by 2,000 as age is above 17 so not applicable. The $ 3000 is admissible as support. Taxable Income will increase by $2,000.

As it is not more than half living expenses provided by the child child care is admissible. Meaning Camille has provided more than half of the living expenses so she can be termed as a dependant.

So Taxable income=78000+2000=$80,000
