CHAPTER 4
David and Lilly Fernandez have determined their tax liability on their joint tax return to be $1,740. They have made prepayments of $1,100 and also have a child tax credit of $1,000. What is the amount of their tax refund or taxes due?
(1)Total tax$1,740
(2)Child tax credit1,000
(3)Prepayments1,100
Tax refund $(360) Explanation:
David and Lilly will receive a tax refund of $360 calculated as follows: Tax refund = $1,740 − $1,100 − $1,000 = −$360
Prepayments are fully refundable when payments exceed the taxes after credits because the refundable amount is essentially an overpayment of taxes.

c.
Head of household with two exemptions. Hamish is not a qualifying widower because he does not maintain a household for a dependent child. However, he does qualify for head of household because he is not married and he pays more than half the cost of maintaining a separate household that is the principal place of abode for his father, and his father also qualifies as his dependent (as a qualifying relative) as follows: Because Reggie is considered to be Hamish’s qualifying relative (and a qualifying person for purposes of the head of household filing status), Hamish may also claim a dependency exemption for Reggie.

Should Darin’s income be included in the computation of support? Is the amount of $21,000 that Andrea used to purchase a new vehicle includable in the support test? Is the amount of student loan that Morgan obtained considered self-support?

Once reviewing the following policy, I have conducted that this policy wishes to give disabled veterans or their spouses, if they have passed away while on duty, a property tax relief. For a disable veteran to be qualified, the veteran must have been honorably discharged at the end of their military career, while also being determined having become permanently disabled. The Property Tax relief from what I have seen also has no age cap for the veterans or spouses who try to receive the Exclusion, which is good for the people applying so they are unable to be phased out by age. For the spouse to receive the benefit they must either be the spouse of a disabled veteran or the surviving spouse of a veteran who has unfortunately died as a condition of service while in the line of duty. However this is one of my biggest problems with the Property Tax relief, it states that only spouses of deceased emergency personal officer are allowed to qualify for the Exclusion if they have not remarried. I understand this could seem that it is fair, however I do not consider it right to forbid someone to remarry especially after they have lived through the traumatic experience of losing their spouse. In this it appears as if they remarry, they are no longer truly connected to their former spouse, which for some could be farther from the truth. If someone had lost a person who they had loved and marry, I believe it is their right to claim this Exclusion even if they have become remarried. Yes, some
Two New York residents, both women, married lawfully in Canada. When one of the spouses, Thea Spyer, died, she left her estate to the other spouse, Edith Windsor. Windsor was not able to claim the estate tax exemption for surviving spouses because of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), a federal law that excluded same-sex partners from the definition of “spouse” in its statutory use. Both the district court and the court of appeals found that portion of the statute unconstitutional.

I was able to file head of household in 2015 because I was providing support at that time, I accidentally click (Hit) the wrong box when I was doing my FAFSA 18/19 when it ask about dependency other than child/ spouse.

Art. 125 (1) ZGB. Is this temporarily or permanently not possible and/or reasonable for a spouse, leaving him/her dependent on maintenance contributions of the other one, then, it is necessary to determine in a third step his/her capacity and an appropriate maintenance contribution, which is based on the principle of the post-marital solidarity (see BGE 134 III 145 E. 4 p. 146 f. with references). Whether it is impossible or unreasonable for the entitled spouse to provide for his/her own maintenance is determined on the basis of various objective criteria. First, the actually obtained or attainable net earned income from reasonable vocational activity is a determining factor. With a refusal of taking up appropriate work, one has to look at
David earns $65,000 per year and Serra earns $195,00 per year for a combined income of $260,000. Together, they pay $4,911.83 in Federal income tax, $1,787.50 in state income tax, $1,354.17 for Social Security, and $314.17 for Medicare. They also have $1033.33 deducted per month for their retirement plans. After deductions, the Hauser
The last statutory test to be applied before finally concluding John and Susan’s residency for tax purposes is the Superannuation test. In Baker v FCT [2012] AATA 168 it was held that “member of a superannuation scheme” includes an inactive member where the taxpayer is on leave without pay. This is the case when the couple quit their full-time jobs in Australia to leave overseas for an undetermined period.
For the purposes of subsection (1)(e) above, a person shall be treated as being maintained by the deceased, either wholly or partly, as the case may be, if the deceased, otherwise than for full valuable consideration, was making a substantial contribution in money or money’s worth towards the reasonable needs of that person. Seeing as Jack is under aged and lived with his mother it is quite reasonable to think that he was partly or wholly dependent on Sarah. Maintenance has been said in the case of Re Dennis to connote ‘only payments which, directly or indirectly, enable the applicant in the future to discharge the cost of daily living at whatever standard of living is appropriate to him
For first claim, it is obvious that keeping a living person and without one, keeping a living person require more expenses. This is a simple concept that can be explain through simple economic and calculation.
