ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME Correct Answers What Is
Adjusted Gross Income (AGI)?
Adjusted gross income (AGI) is a figure that the Internal
Revenue Service uses to determine your income tax liability for
the year. It is calculated by subtracting certain adjustments from
gross income, such as educator expenses, student loan interest
and other adjustments.
After calculating AGI, the next step is to subtract deductions to
determine the taxpayers' taxable income. In addition, the IRS
also uses other income metrics, such as modified AGI (MAGI)
for certain programs and retirement accounts.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The Internal Revenue Service uses your adjusted gross income
(AGI) to determine how much income tax you owe for the year.
AGI is calculated by taking all of your income for the year (your
gross income) and subtracting certain "adjustments to income."
Your AGI can affect the size of your tax deductions as well as
your eligibility for some types of retirement plan contributions.
,Modified adjusted gross income is your AGI with some
otherwise-allowable deductions added back in. For many
people, AGI and MAGI will be the same.
Understanding Adjusted Gross Income (AGI)
As prescribed in the United States tax code, adjusted gross
income is a modification of gross income. Gross income is
simply the sum of all the money you earned in a year, which
may include wages, dividends, capital gains, interest income,
royalties, rental income, alimony, and retirement distributions.
AGI makes certain adjustments to your gross income to reach
the figure on which your tax liability will be calculated.
Many states in the U.S. also use the AGI from federal returns to
calculate how much individuals owe in state income taxes.
States may modify this number further with state-specific
deductions and credits.
The items subtracted from your gross income to calculate your
AGI are referred to as adj

AGI EXCLUSIONS SUMMARY Correct Answers What Is
the Income Exclusion Rule?
, The income exclusion rule sets aside certain types of income as
non-taxable.
There are many types of income that qualify under this rule,
such as life insurance death benefit proceeds, child support,
welfare, and municipal bond income. Income that is excluded is
not reported anywhere on Form 1040.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Income excluded from the IRS's calculation of your income tax
includes life insurance death benefit proceeds, child support,
welfare, and municipal bond income.
The exclusion rule is generally, if your "income" cannot be used
as or to acquire food or shelter, it's not taxable.
Municipal bond income is only excludable up to a point.
Understanding the Income Exclusion Rule
Generally, there is no limit to the amount of this type of income
that can be received. One exception is municipal bond interest,
which may be counted back as an alternative minimum tax
preference item.
Income that is excluded from taxation is generally accorded this
status as a measure of relief for the recipient (or else as the result
of powerful lobbying, as is the case with life insurance).
Income Exclusion Rules and Social Security
For Social Security purposes, not everything an individual
receives is considered income. For the most part, if an item
received cannot be used as, or to obtain, food or shelter, it will
not be considered as income.
