LO.4, 8 Joyce, a widow, lives in an apartment with her two minor children (ages 8 and 10), whom she supports. Joyce earns 33,000 during 2019. She uses the standard deduction. a. Calculate the amount, if any, of Joyces earned income credit. b. During the year, Joyce is offered a new job that has greater future potential than her current job. If she accepts the job offer, her earnings for the year will be 39,000; however, she is afraid she will not qualify for the earned income credit.

Compute Ashleys net tax payable or refund due for 2018. If you use tax forms for your computations, you will need Form 1040 and its Schedules 1, 4, 5, A, C, D, and SE and Form 8949.
