Question

This year Jack intends to file a married-joint return. Jack received $170,000 of salary and paid $7,250 of interest on loans used to pay qualified tuition costs for his dependent daughter, Deb. This year Jack has also paid moving expenses of $4,450 and $30,300 of alimony to his ex-wife, Diane, who divorced him in 2012. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

b. Suppose that Jack also reported income of $13,100 from a half share of profits from a partnership. Disregard any potential self-employment taxes on this income. What AGI would Jack report under these circumstances?

Explanation / Answer

Solution:-

(b):-

= [(170,000 + 13,100 ) - ( 4,450 + 30,300)]

= 183,100 - 34,750

= $148,350

=  $7,250 / 2

= $3,625

= 148,350 - 3,625

= $144,725

Particulars Amount Salary $170,000 Partnership income $13,100 qualified moving expenses $4,450 Alimony $30,300 Modified adjusted gross income

= [(170,000 + 13,100 ) - ( 4,450 + 30,300)]

= 183,100 - 34,750

= $148,350

Interest on loan - amount paid ( $7,250) or 3,625 whichever is lower

=  $7,250 / 2

= $3,625

Adjusted gross income

= 148,350 - 3,625

= $144,725
