standard deduction method
Standard deduction available for married couples for the year 2014 is $12,400
The personal exemption amount is $3,950 per person in 2014
Total income = Earned income + interest income = $57,000 + $1,700 = $58,700
Total deduction = $12,400 + ($3,950*2) = $20,300
Taxable inome =$58,700 - $20,300 = $38,400
itemized deductions method
Total income = Earned income + interest income = $57,000 + $1,700 = $58,700
The personal exemption amount is $3,950 per person in 2014
Items for deduction = Home mortgage interest + Real estate and state income taxes =$8,500+$3,800=$12,000
Personal exemption = ($3,950*2) = $7,900
Taxable inome =$58,700 - $12,000 - $7,900 = $38,800
Williams should use standard deduction method as their taxable income is lower as per that method
Tax liability on $38,400
=$1,815 + 15%(38400-18150)
=$4852.5
