dmertz,
Thank you for giving me additional details. Your simplifying made it possible for me to understand. Finally, I understand it.
I still hate that 22 cents of every dollar is going to Uncle Sam. In 2021, my taxable income is 1/3 less than 2020, but I am paying 50% more. Doesn't seem right that I made less monies and owe about 50% more in taxes.
Anyway, you have helped me so much in understanding my tax situation. You really have been such a godsend to me because you always provided support and encourage in this tax issue I was having.
Thank you!
God bless,
AWB
