Problem $1$: Chapter $9$; Child Care Deduction

Instructions:

Both Mr$.$ Byrd and Mrs$.$ Byrd are employed. During $2023,$ Mr$.$ Byrd had opened a restaurant and had business

income of $$6500.$ Mr$.$ Byrd also had net employment income of $$51300,$ after deducting $$9650$ of employment

deductions. He also had $$7,000$ of interest income. Ms$.$ Byrd had gross employment income of $$84000,$ which

included taxable benefits of $$12,000.$ She also had $$8200$ of dividend income. Since they both had to work long

hours, they had to pay for care of their children.

They have four children: Clarence $(15$ years old and eligible for the disability tax credit$),$ Ida $(11$ years old$),$ Gary $(9$

years old$),$ and Pearson $(2$ years old$).$

Payments for childcare during the year amounted to $$625$ per week for $52$ weeks of the year. Additionally, they

sent Clarence, Ida, and Gary to overnight summer camp for $4$ weeks each, and paid $$5000$ total for this camp.

Also during the current year, there was a period of $12$ weeks during which Mr$.$ Byrd was hospitalized due to injuries

suffered during a hockey game.
