Marc and Michelle are married and earned salaries this year of $65,600 and $12,600, respectively. In addition to their salaries, they received interest of $350 from municipal bonds and $700 from corporate bonds. Marc contributed $2,700 to a traditional individual retirement account, and Marc paid alimony to a prior spouse in the amount of $1,700 (under a divorce decree effective June 1, 2006).
