Key Concepts

Taxable Income

Taxable income is the amount of income that remains after subtracting all allowable deductions, exemptions, and adjustments from an individual's or business's gross income. It serves as the basis on which taxes are calculated, determining the tax liability for a given tax period.

Gross Income

Gross income represents the total earnings received by an individual or business before any deductions are applied. It includes wages, salaries, business profits, interest, dividends, and other forms of income, forming the starting point for further income adjustments.

Deductions and Exemptions

Deductions and exemptions are specific amounts allowed by tax regulations that reduce gross income to arrive at taxable income. Deductions may include expenses such as mortgage interest, charitable contributions, and business expenses, while exemptions involve set amounts that taxpayers are allowed to subtract, thereby lowering the overall tax burden.
