Demarco and Janine Jackson have been married for 20 years and have four children (no children under age 6 at year- end) who qualify as their dependents (Damarcus, Jasmine, Michael, and Candice). The couple received salary income of $98,500 and qualified business income of $16,500 from an investment in a partnership, and they sold their home this year. They initially purchased the home three years ago for $232,500 and they sold it for $282,500. The gain on the sale qualified for the exclusion from the sale of a principal residence. The Jacksons incurred $17,800 of itemized deductions, and they had $4,000 withheld from their paychecks for federal taxes. They are also allowed to claim a child tax credit for each of their children. However, because Candice was 18 years of age at year end, the Jacksons may claim a child tax credit for other qualifying dependents for Candice. (Use the tax rate schedules.) Required: c. What would their taxable income be if their itemized deductions totaled $29,300 instead of $17,800? d. What would their taxable income be if they had $0 itemized deductions and $8,600 of for AGI deductions? e. Assume the original facts but now suppose the Jacksons also incurred a loss of $5,650 on the sale of some of their investment assets. What effect does the $5,650 loss have on their taxable income? f. Assume the original facts but now suppose the Jacksons own investments that appreciated by $10,000 during the year. The Jacksons believe the investments will continue to appreciate, so they did not sell the investments during this year. What is the Jacksons' taxable income?
