[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]

Demarco and Janine Jackson have been married for 20 years and have four children (no children under age 6 at year-end) who qualify as their dependents (Damarcus, Jasmine, Michael, and Candice). The couple received salary income of $97,000 and qualified business income of $18,000 from an investment in a partnership, and they sold their home this year. They initially purchased the home three years ago for $240,000 and they sold it for $290,000. The gain on the sale qualified for the exclusion from the sale of a principal residence. The Jacksons incurred $18,100 of itemized deductions, and they had $4,000 withheld from their paychecks for federal taxes. They are also allowed to claim a child tax credit for each of their children. However, because Candice was 18 years of age at year end, the Jacksons may claim a child tax credit for other qualifying dependents for Candice. (Use the tax rate schedules.)

 

Required:

c. What would their taxable income be if their itemized deductions totaled $29,600 instead of $18,100?

d. What would their taxable income be if they had $0 itemized deductions and $9,200 of for AGI deductions?

e. Assume the original facts but now suppose the Jacksons also incurred a loss of $5,800 on the sale of some of their investment assets. What effect does the $5,800 loss have on their taxable income?

f. Assume the original facts but now suppose the Jacksons own investments that appreciated by $10,000 during the year. The Jacksons believe the investments will continue to appreciate, so they did not sell the investments during this year. What is the Jacksons' taxable income?
