Tax Information | |||
Gross salary | $ | 57,305 | |
Interest earnings | 245 | ||
Dividend income | 145 | ||
Standard deduction | 12,000 | ||
Itemized deductions | 11,330 | ||
Adjustments to income | 1,600 | ||
What amount would Ross report as taxable income?
Please spell out calculations
Answer:
Gross Salary, Interest earnings, Dividend Income and Adjustments to Income all form part of taxable income.
A taxpayer can claim a deduction of either Standard Deduction or Itemized deduction. In the given case since Standard
Deduction amounting to $12000 is greater than Itemized deduction amounting to $11330, the taxpayer will claim Standard Deduction.
Net taxable income = $57305 + $245 + $145 - $1600 - $12000
Net taxable income= $44095
