QUESTIONS - PLEASE EXPLAIN ON PERCENTAGE USED AND HOW IT WAS DETERMINED FOR A BETTER UNDERSTANDING

1. Using the Clarks' information, determine the total amount of their itemized deductions.
2. Assume that they'll use the filing status of married filing jointly and that the standard deduction for that status is $24,000. Should they itemize or take the standard deduction?
3. How much have you saved the Clarks with your recommendation of standard vs. itemized deduction?
4. Compose a schedule computing the tax on a joint return for Jackson and Lillian Clark for the year ended December 31, 2018, giving them the smallest tax liability.
5. Do the Clarks need to file a tax return for their son? Why or why not?
6. Suggest some tax strategies, based on what you know about the Clarks financial position, that they might use to reduce their tax liability for next year.
