Respuesta :

Answer:

1) AGI = $112,400

2) Taxable Income = $80,600

Explanation:

Ed's Salary = $35,000

Jane's Salary = $70,000

Municipal bond interest income = $400

Qualified business income = $1,000

Alimony paid (for AGI deduction) = $7,000

Real property tax (from AGI deduction) = $10,000  

Charitable contributions (from AGI) = $15,000

The total gross income for Jane and Ed = $70,000 + $35,000 = $105,000

1) Their AGI (Adjusted Gross Income) = $105,000  + $400 + $7,000 = $112,400

2)Their taxable income = $112,400 - $24400 - $7000 - $400 = $80,600
