year. They initially purchased the home three years ago for $$257,500$ and they sold it for $$307,500.$ The gain on the sale

and they had $$4,000$ withheld from their paychecks for federal taxes. They are also allowed to claim a child tax credit for

each of their children. However, because Candice was $18$ years of age at year end, the Jacksons may claim a child tax
