  2. Answer the following questions with your group • Who are the taxpayers? • What type of taxes • Do you pay? • Do your parents pay? • What does the statement “Your annual tax changes as your annual income changes” mean?

  3. What are the different types of taxes?? • Property tax – taxes based on the property value of the property you own • Houses, condos, business establishments • Sales tax – collected based on the items you buy • Everyone pays these taxes in CA • Some states don’t have sales tax • Income tax – collected based on the taxable income you earn • The tax you pay is the amount you pay the government

  4. Internal Revenue System (IRS) • The IRS is a US government agency that is responsible for the collection and enforcement of taxes • Taxes are reported on a form called a tax return

  5. Filing Status on Tax Returns • Filing status is a description of marital status on the last day of the year • Single – unmarried taxpayers (like you) • Married and Filing Jointly– married people who fill out one tax return together • Qualifying Widow(er) - a widow(er) who meets the qualifications outlined by the IRS • Married Filing Separately – married people who file two separate returns • Head of Household – a filing status for certain unmarried taxpayers who support people in addition to supporting themselves

  6. Example 1 • Ron is single. He is using an IRS tax form and calculates that his taxable income is $51,482. The instructions tell him to use the tax table to determine his taxes. How much does Ron owe in taxes?

  7. Example 2 • Maria and Don are married taxpayers filing a joint return. Their combined taxable income is $153,900. The IRS offers a tax schedule so that taxpayers can calculate their tax. Use the tax schedule below for married taxpayers filing jointly to calculate Maria and Don’s tax.

  8. Check your understanding • Using the table above, what taxable income would yield a tax of exactly $8,962.50?

  9. Example 3 • The IRS includes the tax schedule for information purposes only. For taxable incomes over $100,000, taxpayers must use the tax worksheet. Here is a portion of the worksheet for married taxpayers filing jointly. Calculate Maria and Don’s tax using this worksheet.

  10. Check your understanding • Davida and John have a taxable income of $118,675. Use the Married Filling Jointly worksheet to determine the amounts for columns (a) and (c). What is their calculated tax?

  11. Extend your understanding • Chase has a taxable income of x dollars. This amount is over $100,000, but not over $131,450. Express his tax algebraically.
