Hi,
Can income taxes be included in the "total of other expenses" in line 10 of worksheet 2 of IRS Publication 501? This belongs to the section Expenses for Entire Household.

Thank you

No, income taxes affect the amount available for support, but they are not a direct household expense that can be used for the worksheet.
