Aleha maintains a household in which she lives with her unemployed husband (Trevor), stepdaughter (Paige), and a family friend (Terrah). Aleha provides more than half of the support for both Paige and Terrah. Terrah was fatally injured in an automobile accident in February, and Aleha paid for Terrah's hospitalization and funeral expenses. Paige, an accomplished gymnast, graduated from high school last year. Paige has a part-time job but spends most of her time training and looking for an athletic scholarship to the "right" college. In March, Trevor left for parts unknown and has not been seen or heard from since. Aleha was more surprised than distressed over Trevor's unexpected departure. One reaction, however, was to sell her wedding rings to a cousin who was getting married. The rings cost $11,800 and were sold for their approximate value of $9,000.

Based on these facts, what are Aleha's income tax concerns for the current year?
