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 $97,000 and qualified business income of $18,000 from an investment in a partnership, and they sold their home this year. They initially purchased the home three years ago for $240,000 and they sold it for $290,000. The gain on the sale qualified for the exclusion from the sale of a principal residence. The Jacksons incurred $18,100 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.
