Bertha is considering taking an early retirement offered by her employer. She would receive $3,000 per
month, indexed for inflation. However, she would no longer be able to use the company's health
facilities, and she would be required to pay her hospitalization insurance premiums of $8,000 each
year. Bertha and her husband will file a joint return and take the standard deduction. She currently
receives a salary of $55,000 a year. If she retires, she will spend approximately $300 less each month
for commuting and clothing.
Bertha and her husband have other sources of income and are in (and will remain in) the 22%
marginal tax bracket. Her income tax for the current year was $8,875. She currently pays Social
Security and Medicare taxes of 7.65% on her salary, but her retirement pay would not be subject to
this tax. According to Bertha, she and her husband could live well if her after-tax retirement income
was at least 50% of her current income.
Determine what her disposable income is…
Lynn estimates that when she retires at age 60, she will have$165,766.18 in her retirement account. This account earns 6%annual interest compounded yearly. Her insurance companypredicts that she will live until age 85. She doesn’t want to outliveher income, so she allows another 3 years of life beyond theinsurance company’s estimate. How much money will Lynn beable to withdraw from her account each year?
Julie has just retired. Her company's retirement program has two options as to how retirement benefits can
be received. Under the first option, Julie would receive a lump sum of $158,000 immediately as her full
retirement benefit. Under the second option, she would receive $21,000 each year for five years plus a lump-
sum payment of $66,000 at the end of the five-year period.

Juan expects to have $250,000 of income each year while Maria expects to have $180,000 of income each year. Assume the children will live with Maria after the divorce and that Juan will pay child support. What advice can you provide them regarding the child credit? A. The child credit is phased out for single taxpayers with AGI above $400,000. Juan will be entitled to the child credit because his income is below the threshold. The credit is only available to taxpayers who claim the children as dependents, so it would be beneficial to allow Juan to claim the children. The tax savings received by Juan should be considered when the amount of child support that Juan must pay is being determined. B. Juan's AGI exceeds $200,000, but Maria's AGI does not. The child credit thus would be reduced if Juan claims it, but there would be no reduction if Maria claims it. Overall,…arrow_forwardRocky and Adrien are selling their house.
