- Mary-Ann is age 60 and plans to retire this year. She and her husband Wayne, age 66 have approached David the CFP to review her payment options from her defined contribution RPP. Wayne is already retired and receives $85,000 in annual indexed pension income which meets her lifestyle needs. They have no savings aside from their pension plans. Wayne wants to have financial flexibility in the event of an unforeseen circumstance, and Mary-Ann wants to ensure that their adult son Jim would receive financial support should they predecease him.

The Ferraris also have certain financial resources available after Paolo's death, however, so their life insurance needs are lower than this amount. If Paolo dies, Sharon will be eligible to receive Social Security survivors' benefits-approximately $3,800 a month ($45,600 a year) until the youngest child graduates from high school in 10 years. After the children leave home, Sharon will be able to work full-time and earn an estimated $38,000 a year (after taxes) until she retires at age 65. After Sharon turns 65, she'll receive approximately $3,200 a month ($38,400 a year) from her own Social Security and retirement benefits.

Curtis works full-time as an electrical engineer, but Ashby has not worked outside the home since Jason was born. As Jason is getting older, Ashby thinks that Jason would benefit from attending nursey school several times a week, which would give her an opportunity to reinvigorate her love of painting at a nearby art studio. Ashby thinks that if she is lucky, the proceeds from the sale of her paintings will pay for the nursery school tuition. Ashby also is planning to claim the credit for child and dependent care expenses, because the care provided Jason at the nursery school is required for her to pursue her art career. Can Ashby and Curtis claim the credit for child and dependent car expenses for the nursery school expenditures? Why or why not?arrow_forwardJuan and Maria, who have two young children, are in the process of obtaining a divorce. Juan expects to have $250,000 of income each year while Maria expects to have $180,000 of income each year. Assume the children will live with Maria after the divorce and that Juan will pay child support. What advice can you provide them regarding the child credit? A. The child credit is phased out for single taxpayers with AGI above $400,000. Juan will be entitled to the child credit because his income is below the threshold. The credit is only available to taxpayers who claim the children as dependents, so it would be beneficial to allow Juan to claim the children. The tax savings received by Juan should be considered when the amount of child support that Juan must pay is being determined. B. Juan's AGI exceeds $200,000, but Maria's AGI does not. The child credit thus would be reduced if Juan claims it, but there would be no reduction if Maria claims it. Overall,…arrow_forward
