What is the benefit of claiming yourself as an exemption?

Does IRA deduction come off income or tax due?

An IRA deduction reduces your taxable income, not the tax due directly. When you contribute to a traditional IRA, the amount you contribute can be deducted from your total income when filing your taxes, which in turn may lower your overall tax liability. However, it does not directly reduce the amount of tax you owe; instead, it lowers the income on which your tax is calculated.


How much federal income tax will you pay if you make 150000 and file married with 5 dependents?

If your taxable income is at least $100,000, you generally have to figure your taxes using a Tax Computation Worksheet instead of the Tax Tables. Your $150,000 gross income is reduced by standard deduction of $10,900 in 2008 ($11,400 in 2009) and personal/dependent exemptions of $24,500 ($25,550 in 2009) to taxable income of $114,600 ($138,600 in 2009). Then go to Section B Married Filing Jointly/Qualifying Widow(er) for the Rate, which is 25 percent (.25), minus the Subtraction Amount of $7,313 ($7,625 in 2009). The result is your tax of $21,337 ($20,638 in 2009). Your tax is reduced by any income tax that was withheld. Also, if you itemized instead of taking the standard deduction, your taxable income would be lower, which then lowers your tax.


What are the benefits of accelerated depreciation?

Presumably you mean when doing tax accounting. Depreciation is an expense. Expense lowers income, which lowers the tax payable. However, as the same amount of depreciation will be taken on an asset overall, accelerated only meaning a larger amount is taken quicker...in latter years the benfit reverses...that is the amount of book (or non accelerated depreciation) is higher than the accelerated one, and less tax expense is received. hence, the difference is to lower taxable income at first and increase it later...providing cash (less tax) sooner, and requiring more cash later. So the time value of the cash savings sooner is the real benefit.


What is the difference between tax and discount?

Tax is a mandatory financial charge imposed by the government on goods and services, which is added to the sale price and collected from the consumer. In contrast, a discount is a reduction in the price offered by a seller to encourage sales or reward customers. While tax increases the final cost for the buyer, a discount lowers it. Essentially, tax is a liability, whereas a discount is an incentive.
