Part 2Tax Planning

Beth is anticipating significant changes in her life in 2022, and she has asked you to estimate her taxable income and tax liability for 2022.

Beth just received word that she has been qualified to adopt a two-year-old daughter. Beth expects that the adoption will be finalized in 2022 and that she will incur approximately $2,000 of adoption expenses. In addition, she expects to incur approximately $3,500 of child and dependent care expenses relating to the care of her new daughter, which will enable her to keep her job at Mesa Manufacturing Company. However, with the additional demands on her time because of her daughter, she has decided to discontinue her two part-time jobs (i.e., the part-time tax practice and her software business), and she will cease making estimated income tax payments.

In your computations, assume that all other 2022 income and expenses will be the same as 2021 amounts.
