$[$The following information applies to the questions displayed below.$]$

Demarco and Janine Jackson have been married for $20$ years and have four children who qualify as their

dependents $($Damarcus$,$ Jasmine, Michael, and Candice$).$ The Jacksons file a joint tax return. The couple

received salary income of $$99,500$ and qualified business income of $$15,500$ from an investment in a

partnership, and they sold their home this year. They initially purchased the home three years ago for

$$227,500$ and they sold it for $$277,500.$ The gain on the sale qualified for the exclusion from the sale of a

principal residence. The Jacksons incurred $$17,600$ of itemized deductions, and they had $$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

credit for other qualifying dependents for Candice. $($Use the tax rate schedules.$)$
