The couple received salary income of $125,000 and qualified business income of $12,500 from an investment in a partnership, and they sold their home this year. They initially purchased the home three years ago for $212,500 and they sold it for $262,500. The gain on the sale qualified for the exclusion from the sale of a principal residence. The Jacksons incurred $17,000 of itemized deductions, and they had $3,300 withheld from their paychecks for federal taxes. They are also allowed to claim a child tax credit for each of their children.
