B) What is the total amount of Marc and Michelle's deductions from AGI?
C) What is Marc and Michelle's taxable income?
D) What is Marc and Michelle's taxes payable or refund due for the year?
A)
Gross Income = 66400+12900+800 = $80100
Adjusted Gross Income = Gross income - contribution to retirement account - Alimony paid = 80100 - 2800 - 1800 = $75500
B)
Standard deduction = 24000 (married filing jointly - 2018)
Itemized deduction = 6600
S>I = 24000
Personal and dependency exemptions = 0 (repealed from 2018)
Total deductions = $24000
C)
Taxable income = 75500 - 24000 = $51500
D)
Income tax liability = (51500-19050)*12% + 1905 = 3894+1905 = $5799
Total tax = $5799
Credits = $2000
Prepayments = $5820
$5799 - $2000 - $5820 = - $2021
Therefore refund due for the year = $2021
