Income Taxes $30K




There is no way you're paying income taxes of $30,000 on gross income of $90,000 and mortgage interest of $14,000.

Assuming you itemize (and I do since you have mortgage interest), you'd probably have taxable income around $70,000 or so, which is in the 15% tax bracket for joint filers. If your taxable income was $70,000, your total federal income tax bill would be about $9,630.

How are you getting to $30,000? Even if you count FICA (which is not an income tax), that would be another $5,100 or so. Your state income tax is not going to total $16,000.

Explain, please.




Look at the details..this is 90K per month! The PP says $600 on groceries...so must be monthly.

I look forward to seeing your nanny's spending break-out to find out how she survives.


I think that was their monthly budget, so the nanny would be making 40K+ yearly.

I'm not the one you quoted but if she doesn't pay for a place to live she is probably doing ok. I bring about 3,600 (after taxes) and have to pay for daycare and rent.
