Answer 1

Addison will have $250 of taxable income from the annuity each year

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Addison's total pay = $15,000

Per year amount receive = $1,000

Total amount receive = $1,000 x 20 = $20,000

Computation of Addison's exclusion ratio:

Addison's exclusion ratio = $15,000 / $20,000

Addison's exclusion ratio = 0.75

Computation of Addison's gross income:

Addison's gross income = Per year amount receive x (1 - Addison's exclusion ratio)

Addison's gross income = $1,000 x (1 - 0.75)

Addison's gross income = $250
