What is Taxable Income?(AEOC)

On the AEOC application, you will be asked to disclose the range of your taxable income, which is required per our grant regulations. 如果学生根据经济援助标准被确定为独立(通常是所有24岁以下没有配偶或家属的人), 他们需要使用父母/监护人的应纳税所得额,并获得父母/监护人的签名以进行核实.

应税收入是用来计算个人在给定纳税年度欠政府多少税款的收入数额. This is different from your salary or your gross income. In almost every situation, taxable income is less than your gross income. 应税收入可以在IRS 1040表11b行或ny表201-IT表37或38行找到. 如果你找不到这个表格,你可以用下面的公式计算你的应税收入:

总收入-线上扣除-线下扣除=应税收入

Terms

Gross Income includes, but is not limited to, salaries, wages, bonuses, tips, rental income, some government benefits (i.e. unemployment, disability, etc.), dividends, capital gains, interest income, fringe benefits, royalties, and retirement distributions. If you are married and filed your 2019 taxes jointly, you must include all your spouse’s income as well.

注:任何明确免税的收入都不计入这个数字.e. 子女抚养费、退伍军人福利、福利、工人补偿、社会安全保障等.)

Above the Line Deductions can include, but are not limited to, rental deductions, some business deductions, stock losses, moving expenses, student loan interest paid, and alimony.

Below the Line Deductions are either standard or itemized. Typically, 个人只有在扣除额加起来超过标准扣除额的情况下才会逐项列出扣除额.

Example Standard Deduction Amounts

Person A and Person B are married and filed their 2019 taxes jointly. Person A makes $20,000 a year and Person B makes $35,000 a year with no additional income, making their gross income $55,000. 他们有0美元的线上扣除,并采取24,400美元的标准扣除. Therefore, their estimated taxable income is $30,600.
