You get to claim $3,800 per child (and you) as an exemption, reducing your tax need. This does not justify having a lot of kids – the math does not work in your favor.

Anyway, just take the number from Line 6d, the number of dependents, and multiply this by $3,800 – giving you the total exemption benefit.

This does matter: these considerations, because they generally make life more difficult, raise the value of the standard deduction! That means more money and less of a tax burden. You will have to fill out Worksheet 4-1 to see if, and for how much, it counts. If you plan on itemizing, you must still fill these out!

For context, Cannon literally grew up with Bynes. Both were in the group of Nickelodeon stars, featuring together most prominently on the sketch comedy show All That. Later, they rivaled each other on The Amanda Bynes Show and The Nick Cannon Show, maintaining a friendship. Though few expected Cannon to come out in support, the pairing in no way is confusing.

At the time, the Kansas School Board was debating the concept of “alternative” ideas on evolution. The board ultimately decided to pair Biblical “Intelligent Design” with scientific evolution, a figurative slap in the face to the actual theory. In response, Henderson established his own religion, on as much logical merit as Intelligent Design, and asked that it also be taught. The project is an example of well-constructed logic.

It should also be noted that “theory” in the scientific construct refers to a proven law, while things such as Intelligent Design and noodly-blessings take the role of “hypothesis” or “idea.”

It generally helps on a letter to a person in need to be a listener, rather than a talker. Cannon’s first sentence speaks only to his successes instead of immediately seeking to help.

Empathy, rather than asserting yourself as an expert or voice of authority, is far more effective.

The math train is coming in!

Now take your Line 35 value (clearly too cool to have a name) and subtract the value of your dependent exemptions, Line 36, from it. Easy.

This gives you the amount of income you made that the state can actually touch. in a dream word, this is low! If it is negative, put 0.

Take your New York adjusted gross income, Line 33 and subtract your standard/itemized deduction from it, Line 34. If this is negative, just write 0.

Why does this step exist? It takes your “income” and removes any deductions you get for living. Deductions reduce tax, so this is good!
