A divorced woman with 2 young children has just re-entered the workforce part time and earns $3,000 from this work. She collects another $2,400 per year in alimony payments. The woman wishes to make a contribution to an Individual Retirement Account this year. Which statement is TRUE

Which statement is TRUE

A. No contribution can be made because the woman received alimony payments

B. A contribution can be made based only on the income earned from part-time work

C. A contribution can be made based only on the alimony payments received

D. A contribution can be made based on both the earned income from part-time work and the alimony payments received

B. A contribution can be made based only on the income earned from part-time work

Explanation:

According to Individual Retirement Account regulations, contribution can only be made base on earned income and not a court-mandated allowance made to a former spouse by a divorced or legally separated person otherwise known as "Alimony". Alimony is just a means to support life and not a earned income. So, contribution can be made based only on the income earned from part-time work.

the answer is: c.that person might be arrested and deported

filling w-4 form incorrectly usually would rise suspicions from government's auditors. when they notice such mistakes, they would send their teams to investigate the situation further.

if those investigation teams believe that the incorrectness is done on purpose (with malicious intent), that person can be arrested or deported
