  • ITEMIZING on STATE and FEDERAL TAX INCOME RETURNS: IT’S (NOW MORE) COMPLICATED David Weiner December 2, 2020
    ITEMIZING ON STATE AND FEDERAL TAX INCOME RETURNS: IT’S (NOW MORE) COMPLICATED David Weiner December 2, 2020 A taxpayer’s decision to itemize deductions or to claim the standard deduction on their income tax return is often framed as a simple calculation: Claim the greater of the two so as to minimize tax liability. But in states that require taxpayers to use the same status on their state income tax return as on their federal return, this general rule can produce conflicting results if taxpayers examine liability separately on their federal and state returns. Itemized deductions might be greater than the standard deduction on a state income tax return, but the reverse could be true on a federal return. Recent federal law changes have further complicated the choice. When the federal standard deduction was nearly doubled beginning in 2018, many more taxpayers found a conflict between the best itemization scenario on federal and state income tax returns. Those taxpayers must now calculate their federal and state income taxes under both scenarios if they want to minimize their combined state and federal income tax liability. Many taxpayers in states that link federal and state itemization choices are affected. In Maryland, for example, more than 200,000 taxpayers could benefit by itemizing on their federal returns when that may not be the obvious choice. In this brief, I examine the links between federal and state itemization decisions and explore the implications of relaxing state rules requiring that state itemization choices match federal ones. elatively few federal taxpayers itemize deductions on their income tax returns under current law, and those who do tend to have very high incomes.

  • Input for Carnival of Math: Number 115, October 2014
    Input for Carnival of Math: Number 115, October 2014 I visited Singapore in 1996 and the people were very kind to me. So I though this might be a little payback for their kindness. Good Luck. David Brooks The “Mathematical Association of America” (http://maanumberaday.blogspot.com/2009/11/115.html ) notes that: 115 = 5 x 23. 115 = 23 x (2 + 3). 115 has a unique representation as a sum of three squares: 3 2 + 5 2 + 9 2 = 115. 115 is the smallest three-digit integer, abc , such that ( abc )/( a*b*c) is prime : 115/5 = 23. STS-115 was a space shuttle mission to the International Space Station flown by the space shuttle Atlantis on Sept. 9, 2006. The “Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences” (http://www.oeis.org) notes that 115 is a tridecagonal (or 13-gonal) number. Also, 115 is the number of rooted trees with 8 vertices (or nodes). If you do a search for 115 on the OEIS website you will find out that there are 7,041 integer sequences that contain the number 115. The website “Positive Integers” (http://www.positiveintegers.org/115) notes that 115 is a palindromic and repdigit number when written in base 22 (5522). The website “Number Gossip” (http://www.numbergossip.com) notes that: 115 is the smallest three-digit integer, abc, such that (abc)/(a*b*c) is prime. It also notes that 115 is a composite, deficient, lucky, odd odious and square-free number.

Sanders, Dean of Graduate Studies Date Abstract For many years, a major question in sieve theory has been determining whether or not a sieve produces infinitely many values which are exactly two apart. In this paper, we will discuss a new result in sieve theory, which will give sufficient conditions for the existence of values which are exactly two apart. We will also show a direct application of this theorem on an existing sieve as well as detailing attempts to apply the theorem to the Sieve of Eratosthenes. iii Contents 1 Introduction 1 2 Preliminary Material 1 3 Sieves 5 3.1 The Sieve of Eratosthenes . 5 3.2 The Block Sieve . 9 3.3 The Finite Block Sieve . 12 3.4 The Sieve of Joseph Flavius .

  • FEMA Developing and Maintaining Emergency Operations Plans
    Developing and Maintaining Emergency Operations Plans Comprehensive Preparedness Guide (CPG) 101 Version 2.0 November 2010 I am pleased to announce the release of Version 2.0 of Comprehensive Preparedness Guide 101: Developing and Maintaining Emergency Operations Plans. Comprehensive Preparedness Guide (CPG) 101 provides guidance for developing emergency operations plans. It promotes a common understanding of the fundamentals of risk-informed planning and decision making to help planners examine a hazard or threat and produce integrated, coordinated, and synchronized plans. The goal of CPG 101 is to assist in making the planning process routine across all phases of emergency management and for all homeland security mission areas. This Guide helps planners at all levels of government in their efforts to develop and maintain viable, all-hazards, all-threats emergency plans. Based on input from state, territorial, tribal, and local officials from across the United States, this update of CPG 101 expands on the fundamentals contained in the first version. With this edition, greater emphasis is placed on representing and engaging the whole community—to include those with access and functional needs, children, and those with household pets and service animals. Residents and all sectors of the community have a critical role and shared responsibility to take appropriate actions to protect themselves, their families and organizations, and their properties. Planning that engages and includes the whole community serves as the focal point for building a collaborative and resilient community. CPG 101 is the foundation for state, territorial, tribal, and local emergency planning in the United States. Planners in other disciplines, organizations, and the private sector, as well as other levels of government, may find this Guide useful in the development of their emergency operations plans.
