Jane and Ben are married and usually file a joint return. They live in a separate property state (rather than a community property state). Jane is a partner in a law firm and typically generates income of $162,000. Ben is a grade school teacher with wage income of $75,000. The couple has investment income that is less than their standard deduction. With enactment of the deduction for qualified business income, the couple is wondering if they should continue to file as married filing jointly or instead use the married filing separately status. Why do they wonder this, and what advice would you offer them and why? If each spouse files separately, Jane's income is close to the threshold relevant for , such as the law firm.

Demarco and Janine Jackson have been married for 20 years and have four children who qualify as their dependents
(Damarcus, Jasmine, Michael, and Candice). The Jacksons file a joint tax return. The couple received salary income of
$95,500 and qualified business income of $19,500 from an investment in a partnership, and they sold their home this
year. They initially purchased the home three years ago for $247,500 and they sold it for $297,500. The gain on the sale
qualified for the exclusion from the sale of a principal residence. The Jacksons incurred $18,400 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.)
