Caroline is retired and receives income from a number of sources. The interest payments are from bonds that Caroline purchased over past years and a disability insurance policy that Caroline purchased. Calculate Caroline's gross income. Distributions from qualified pension plan$5,400Interest on bonds issued by city of Austin, Texas2,500Social Security benefits8,200Interest on U.S. Treasury bills2,300Interest on bonds issued by Ford Motor Company1,900Interest on bonds issued by city of Quebec, Canada2,750Disability insurance benefits9,500
What will be an ideal response?
$12,350 = $5,400 + $2,300 + $1,900 + $2,750
Caroline is not taxed on the disability payments because she purchased the insurance. In addition, Caroline's gross income is clearly below the Social Security phase-in threshold, so the Social Security benefits are also excluded.
