Marc and Michelle are married and earned salaries this year of $64,000 and $12,000, respectively. In addition to their salaries,

they received interest of $350 from municipal bonds and $500 from corporate bonds. Marc contributed $2,500 to an individual retirement account, and Marc paid alimony to a prior spouse in the amount of $1,500 (under a divorce decree effective June 1, 2005). Marc and Michelle have a 10-year-old son, Matthew, who lived with them throughout the entire year. Thus, Marc and Michelle are allowed to claim a $2,000 child tax credit for Matthew. They are also able to claim $2,900 in recovery rebate credit ($2,400 for Marc and Michelle and $500 for Matthew). Assume they did not receive the recovery rebate in advance. Marc and Michelle paid $6,000 of expenditures that qualify as itemized deductions and they had a total of $3,500 in federal income taxes withheld from their paychecks during the year. (Use the tax rate schedules).

Answer:

I will use the 2020 tax schedule since recovery rebate credit applies to 2020:

Marc and Michelle's gross income = Marc's and Michelle's salaries + interest from corporate bonds = $64,000 + $12,000 + $500 = $76,500

they should choose the standard deduction since it is higher than their itemized deductions = ($24,400)

contribution to IRA = ($2,500)

alimony payment = ($1,500) the divorce agreement was settled on 2005

Marc and Michelle's taxable income = $48,100

Marc and Michelle's tax liability = $1,975 + [12% x ($48,100 - $19,750)] = $5,377

Interests on municipal bonds is not taxable.

The amount of taxes that they owe = $5,377 - $3,500 (federal tax withholdings) = $1,877

Refundable tax credits:

$2,000 in child tax credit

$2,900 in recovery rebate credit

total = $4,900

taxes payable or refund = tax liability - refundable tax credits = $1,877 - $4,900 = -$3,023.

Marc and Michelle should get a refund for $3,023
