Answer 1

To complete Jessie Robinson's 1040 form, report the gross income from the W-2 on line 1, leave lines 7, 8, 10, and 13 blank, apply the standard deduction to determine taxable income on line 9, and fill out lines 11, 12, 14, and 15 according to form instructions.

Step-by-step explanation:

To fill out the income section of the 1040 form for Jessie Robinson, using the information provided, you would start with the gross income from Jessie's W-2 form, which should be reported on line 1. Since this is Jessie's only source of income and they had no other types of income such as taxable interest, dividends, or social security benefits, lines 7, 8, 10, and 13 will remain blank. Jessie also doesn't need to complete any other forms and is not married nor can be claimed as a dependent. Therefore, you would carry over Jessie's gross income from the W-2 directly onto line 1. The standard deduction, which as of the most recent tax year is a set amount, would next be applied to the gross income to determine the taxable income on line 9. Finally, lines 11, 12, 14, and 15 would be filled out according to the instructions provided on the form, considering any tax credits or other adjustments that may apply to Jessie's situation.
