In 2019, Tom is single and has AGI of $50,000. He is age 70, has no dependents, and has itemized deductions (i.e., from AGI) of $7,000. Determine Tom’s taxable income for 2019.
Answer : Tom’s taxable income for 2019 = $36,150.
Explanation:
Tom's total standard deductions (including additional) = $12,200 (Standard) + $1,650 (additional) = $13,850
Since Tom's total standard deduction (including additional) is more than his itemized deductions ie. $7,000, he should claim standard deduction instead of itemized deduction.
Tom’s taxable income for 2019 = AGI - Total standard deductions
= $50,000 - $13,850 = $36,150.
Note : For 2019 , there is no personal exemption available.
