Married Filing Jointly Deduction 2009

Question: 2009 tax calculator………………?

I am trying to figure out an estimate of what I will recieve back on my tax return. My husband and I got married this year so we will be Filing Jointly. I will end up making about 25000 after tax and my husband about 40000. We also bought a house this year so we will be getting the tax credit for that. We have 1 daughter and will be claiming about 1500 in daycare expenses. I can not find any calculator that doesn’t want all kinda of federal tax deductions and blah blah blah… anyone know How I can estimate this or find a sight to do it?

Question: When Filing Jointly is the personal exemption added to the standard deduction for Taxable Income?

I used an online tax calculator and I noticed that as filing jointly as a married couple we receive a $10,700 deduction in addition to another personal exemption of $6,800. Is that how it works? is the personal exemption added to the $10,700 and deducted from the gross income leaving taxable income?
If we both earned $50,000 for the year will our taxable income be $50,000 – $10,700 – $6,800 = $32,500????
Thanks for any help in advance.




Answer: true … for this year

figures will change for next year
