Answer to Question 1

The O'Connors will receive a 472 refund.
Total income: 52,700; subtract the IRA contribution; 52,700 - 3,500 = 49,200
Medical and dental: 5,200; 7.5 of adjusted gross income is 0.075  49,200 = 3,690;
5,200 - 3,690 = 1,510 is deductible.
Total deductions: 1,510 + 13,150 = 14,660;
Deduct for exemptions: 6  3,500 = 21,000;
Subtract deductions and exemptions from the adjusted gross income:
49,200 - 14,660 - 21,000 = 13,540.
Use the tax table to find tax: 1,353. Then find the difference between the amount paid, 1,825, and the amount owed: 1,825 - 1,353 = 472.

Answer to Question 2

45,520;
Total income: 78,800; subtract the IRA contributions; 78,800 - 4,000 = 74,800;
Medical and dental of 3,129 is less than 7.5 of adjusted gross income, so it is not deductible.
Total deductions: 11,780; Deduct for exemptions: 5  3,500 = 17,500
Subtract deductions and exemptions from the adjusted gross income:
74,800 - 11,780 - 17,500 = 45,520
