Holly and Zachary Neal, from Dublin, Virginia, are preparing to file their 2017 income taxes. Their children are grown; however, Holly's mother, Martha, has moved in with them so Holly is no longer working. Martha is dependent on their income for support except for her $527 monthly Social Security benefit. a. On the Neals' tax return, Martha's unreimbursed medical expenses: (Select the best answer below.) A. are not deductible. Martha does not qualify as a dependent because she is not the child of Holly and Zachary. B. are deductible even though Martha does not qualify as a dependent because she provides less than half of her own living expenses and is a U.S. citizen. C. are not deductible even if Martha qualifies as a dependent. Zachary and Holly can only claim their own unreimbursed medical expenses. D. are deductible. Martha qualifies as a dependent because she passes the relationship or household member test, does not have earnings greater than the exemption amount, provides less than half of her own living expenses, and is a U.S. citizen. b. Is Martha required to file a tax return? Why or why not? (Select the best answer below.) A. Martha qualifies as a dependent, but she is still required to file a separate tax return because she received money from Social Security. B. Although Martha qualifies as a dependent, thus triggering lower income tax filing thresholds, she does not have additional income; therefore, her Social Security income is adequate to require filing a separate tax return. C. Martha qualifies as a dependent; therefore, no matter how much additional income she may have, she is not required to file a separate tax return. D. Although Martha qualifies as a dependent, thus triggering lower income tax filing thresholds, she does not have additional income; therefore, her Social Security income is inadequate to require filing a separate tax return. c. There are two tax advantages associated with Holly's education expenses. First, they can claim a Lifetime Learning tax credit of $ , as the Neals' income is below the income phase-out for the credit. Second, the $ in interest payments is an adjustment to income for the tax year, as again the Neals' income is less than the phase-out level for eligibility. (Round to the nearest dollar.)
