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.
