Question

Russ and Linda are married and file a joint tax return claiming their three children, ages 4, 7, and 18, as dependents. Their adjusted gross income for 2019 is $415,300. What is Russ and Linda's total child and other dependent credit for 2019?

Answer 1

$3,700

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Adjusted gross income for the year 2019 = $415,300

Children ages = 4, 7, and 18 as dependents

Based on the given information, Russ and Linda's total child and other dependent credit for the year 2019 is

= (Maximum amount per qualifying child + non-refundable tax credit) - (deductible amount × age)

= ($2,000 × 2 + $500) - ($50 × 16)

= $4,500 - $800

= $3,700

After $400,000 the $50 is decreased for each and every $1,000
