Tax Return Summary
SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE UNIVERSITY, FEDERAL TAXATION 1 24EW3,
The required income sources were determined by the W-2s both clients provided. Since the client filing status was considered “married filing jointly”, I had to consider both incomes when computing total income. Both clients had no other sources of taxable income to add to their
total income. However, since both clients are teachers and both accrued educational expenses with receipts during the tax year, I was able to adjust their total income by utilizing Form Schedule 1 (Form 1040). Both clients had expenses that exceeded the amount of education expenses so, combined they were only allowed to take the maximum amount of $600. By adding this duction to their total income, I was able to reduce their total income by $600 to get an adjusted gross income. This is beneficial to the clients because this aids in the reduction of potential tax liability. After filling out Schedule A (Form 1040), it was in the best interest of the clients to take the standard deduction rather than the itemized deduction. The standard deduction provided more
of a tax benefit to them than taking the itemized deduction. The standard deduction would give them a deduction of $25,100 and their computed itemized deduction was $11,135. If I decided to apply the itemized deduction, their taxable income would have been $79,675 instead of $65,710. That would have given them a higher taxable income with more of a tax liability.
The only credit the clients were eligible to utilize was the other dependent credit because they take care of Susan’s mother who has no source of income. The clients were eligible for this credit because they provide more than half of her care and she lived with them full-time for the last three years. The clients were able to take the full $500, however, this is a non-refundable credit and only reduced the tax liability. I was able to determine this by utilizing form Schedule 8812 (Form 1014) and filling in the applicable information. Since I was applying the ODC to
their tax return, I also had to complete Form 8867, Paid Preparers Due Diligence checklist. This was to ensure I was performing ethical practices and gathering the required information to make accurate financial decisions.
The client's tax liability was determined by referencing their taxable income in Appendix D, tax tables. Their tax bracket had their liability at $7,489. After applying the ODC to the tax liability, I computed a total of $6,898 in tax liability. Combing both clients federal withheld, they
had already paid $12,716 for the tax year. This means they overpaid in taxes and were due for a refund of $5,727.
