What you’ll learn:
- Adjustments to income
- Tax deductions
Requirements:
- No prior knowledge is required to take this course
This course will focus on taxable income, adjustments to income, and itemized deductions
We will look at each component from multiple angles, starting with a presentation discussing the topic and then looking at examples to better understand the concepts in action.
The example section will use tax forms to work problems and an accounting equation method using Excel so learners will understand the impact on the actual tax return and visualize the concepts using a tax formula.
Determining what income is is essential given that we have an income tax. For taxes, of course, everything is flipped upside down, income being bad, expenses or deductions being good. We often receive documentation that can help us report income, such as W-2 Forms and Form 1099s, but sometimes we may not get any documentation and still be required to report income. Different types of income may also be taxed at different rates. Practice problems demonstrating different forms of income and the impact on the tax return will help learners better understand the concepts practically.
Adjustments to income can be thought of as a type of deduction, but deductions are separate from the standard deduction and itemized deductions. We will look at the main adjustments to income and provide examples to show how they are reported on the tax return.
Itemized deductions may be taken if they are greater than the standard deduction. We will look at each itemized deduction category, provide examples, and show how they can impact the tax return.
Our Promise to You
By the end of this course, you will have learned tax preparation in terms of gross income and adjustments.
