Jane and Robert Brown are married and have eight children, all of whom are eligible to be claimed as the couple’s dependents. Robert earns $196,000 working as senior manager in a public accounting firm, and Jane earns $78,000 as a second-grade teacher. Given their large family, they live in a frugal manner. The Browns maintain a large garden and some fruit trees from which they get most of their produce, and the children take family and consumer science classes so that they can help make the family’s clothing.
