Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I am not quite sure of what is happening.  Did you try to calculate your tax using the example I provided?. 

  

Example:  You are married filing jointly, have two children and you take the standard deduction ($24,400) and child tax credit ($4,000 for two children). Total wages $112,000 

  

The US tax on this income is calculated as follows: 

US tax on $112,000 is $6,989 

US tax on $105,900 (amount excluded) would be $5,647 

Net US tax payable 
($6,989 - $5,647) = $1,342 

 

Please provide an example of what you are questioning.  Thank you for your assistance with this.
