Camille Sikorski was divorced in 2017. She currently provides a home for her 15-year-old daughter Kaly. Kaly lived in Camille’s home for the entire year, and Camille paid for all the costs of maintaining the home. She received a salary of $50,000 and contributed $4,000 of it to a qualified retirement account (a for AGI deduction). She also received $5,000 of alimony from her former husband (per divorce decree issued in 2017). Finally, Camille paid $15,100 of expenditures that qualified as itemized deductions. c. Assume the original facts but now suppose Camille’s daughter, Kaly, is 25 years old and a full-time student. Kaly’s gross income for the year was $5,100. Kaly provided $3,060 of her own support, and Camille provided $5,100 of support. What is Camille’s taxable income?

Answer 1

Answer:

Camille’s taxable income is $34 900.

Explanation:

Gross income(50 000+5 000)                  55000

For AGI deduction                                     (4000)

ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME                    51 000

itemized Deduction                                    15 100

Taxable income(51000-15100)                   34 900

Therefore, Camille’s taxable income is $34 900.
