He paid $15,000 in rent his apartment for the year.

Fill in the blank: Kevin's AGI for 2020 is $_______.

1b. Fill in the blank: Ignore your answer in a). Assume that Kevins AGI for the year is $78,650. The amount of itemized deduction Kevin has available this year is $_______.

1c. Ignore your answer in b). Assume that the amount of itemized deduction available is $2,780. Using the 2020 standard deduction amounts (assuming no additional amounts for age or blindness) from Appendix D in your book, determine whether Kevin will itemize or take the standard deduction.

	A.	Itemize
	B.	Standard Deduction

1d. Fill in the blank: Ignore your answer in a) - c). Assume that Kevins taxable income is $42,720 and his employer withheld $9,000 in tax from his wages. Using the tax rate schedule from Appendix D in your book, the amount of taxes due or the amount of refund due is $_______. Remember that if the amount represents tax due this is entered as a positive value (e.g. syntax: a $5,000 tax due amount should be entered as 5000) whereas if the amount represents a tax refund this is entered as a negative value (e.g. syntax: a $5,000 tax refund amount should be entered as -5000). Assume AMT does not apply, and there are no tax credits available.
