This section consists of 3 subsections.

Income From Salaries, Wages, Tips, etc.

Add up all of your wages, salaries, tips, etc. Insert only the amount for the principal taxpayer in this section. In case you are filing jointly with your spouse then insert their amount on the right side. It should also include any tips that you haven’t disclosed to your employer, such as assigned tips that show in box 8 of your W-2 form(s).

In case, if your amount in Line 5 of Form W-2 is different then use the next section. While calculating the template will use the amount whichever is higher. If you’re unclear about the amount or don’t have access to your W-2 form, enter $0 here.

Income From Other Sources

Moreover, insert income from other sources. Enter only those amounts that apply to you.

Note: Fill information in the Spouse’s Business Income only if the filing status is Married Filing Jointly.

85% of the total Social Security Benefits are taxable. Thus, insert the full amount in the cell and it will automatically calculate the 85% amount in the next cell.

Adjustment to Gross Income

IRS allows some deductions in the form of adjustments to lower your taxable income. The amount left after these adjustments is called Adjusted Gross Income (AGI).  If you are filing jointly kindly insert the sum of both your and your spouse’s amounts.

Moreover, you can deduct up to $250 in expenditures if you were a “qualified educator” in 2022. If you are married and both of you are ‘eligible educators,’ the cap is $500 ($250 each) if you file jointly.

Furthermore, from kindergarten through 12th grade teachers, instructors, counselors, administrators, or assistants who have worked at least 900 hours in a school during the school year are eligible.

Additionally, you can find taxable interest either on Form 1099-INT or Form 1099-OID. Dividends can be found on Form 1099-DIV.

In this section, insert only those amounts that apply to you.

Difference Between MAGI and AGI

In most cases, your MAGI and AGI are similar in value. On the other hand, these tiny modifications that convert your AGI to your MAGI might have a significant impact on your final tax return.

Your adjusted gross income is the total amount of money you earn minus certain deductions. The permissible income deductions are listed on the front page of your Form 1040.

Whereas, certain deductions are brought back in while computing MAGI. Because many of these deductions are uncommon, your AGI and MAGI may be the same.

The quantity of your AGI has an impact on how many tax credits and exemptions you may claim. If your AGI exceeds specific thresholds, many deductions will phase out or vanish entirely.

On the other hand, your MAGI is used to determine if you are eligible for certain tax deductions. One of the most important considerations is whether or not your contributions to an individual retirement plan are tax-deductible.

Thus, MAGI has an impact on our tax liabilities since certain tax credits and deductions are only accessible to people with a low or permissible MAGI.
