Hi! This assignment is to fill out a tax form- 1040. The answers I'm finding (in the document on Course Hero- BUS-FP4065_Assessment5-1F1040.pdf) are putting WAGES- 26,000 for the 7th box on the form. The actual question being asked lists information to input into the form, and lists 31,000 as the wage of the wife. I cannot understand where 26,000 is coming from or what would be subtracted from it to have a lower wage.The amount for the business was given in a previous assignment: Here's the instructions
