The J.B. Haskell Generic Tax Formula in Practice
Figures for 2008 tax year
1. Add up all income: wage and non-wage (dividend, interest, rental
income, business)
this is your gross income or total income
2. Subtract adjustments to income (for example, moving expenses, IRA
[Individual Retirement Account contributions], self-employed health
insurance, interest on student loans, etc.)
this gives you adjusted gross income
3. Subtract exemptions for yourself, spouse and any dependents @ $3500
(NOTE: if someone can claim you as a dependent, they get to
deduct the $3500 exemption from their taxes, not you!)
4. Subtract Standard Deduction based on your filing status- one of the
four below
Single - $ _________
Married Filing Jointly or Qualified Widow/er - $ ___________
Head of Household - $ ___________
Married Filing Separately - $ ____________
[OR subtract itemized deductions by using a form 1040 with Schedule A]
NOTE: if someone can claim you as a dependent, complete chart on the
back of the 1040EZ form to determine your deduction.
subtracting exemptions and standard deduction gives you your taxable
income
5. Using the chart, look up your taxable income (result of step 4) and see how much you should have paid under your filing status (single, married, etc)
6. Subtract any tax credits from the tax found in step 5
[for example $600 per child under 17 years old]
this is your tax liability (what you SHOULD have paid)
7. Compare answer from step 6, your tax liability with the amount of
tax paid; if you paid more, than you get a refund; if you paid less,
then you owe the difference.
EXAMPLE:
A single person who can’t be claimed as a dependent makes $19,700 in
wages and $106 in interest from a bank account. The person had $1,965
withheld from their wages in federal income tax.
1. taxable income of $19,806 [$19,700 in wages plus $106 in interest)
2. no adjustments to subtract, so adjusted gross income is $19,806 also
3. less exemptions: $19,806 - $3,500 = $16,306
4. less standard deduction for single $16,506 - $5,450 = $11,056
(taxable income)
5. by tax table, tax on $ of taxable income for a single person
is $1,260
6. no tax credits to subtract
7. $1,965 was paid, so a refund is due: $1,965 - $1,260 = $705 refund

ALL NEED A TYPED 3-SOURCE BIBLIO.
You may NOT do a boring research paper!
Interview 2-3 pages typed & double-spaced, or on a tape
You may interview an actual person, or, after research make up the answers that would make sense from an historical figure: veteran, someone who worked in the mills, was at a CCC camp, etc.. If you are interviewing a veteran, or someone who lived through a specific time-period in American history, make up a list of intelligent questions and make sure you practice with any recording equipment before you go to the interview. I would like to help you when you draft the questions.
Drawing/Model/Diorama Using your own talents, draw a picture, or make a model from scratch or from a kit. Include a one-page typed (double-spaced) sheet explaining the historical significance of your project.
Newspaper Article prepare a 2-3 page typed, double-spaced, article complete with headline and byline (newspaper name, location & date) that explains a person or event in a correct historical viewpoint (i.e., a German newspaper would write a different story about the torpedoing of the Lusitania than a British or American newspaper)
Diary/Journal – handwritten 5-6 pages of a famous person, or of a person during a famous event covering 1-10days that explains importance through the writing.
Obituary prepare a 2-3 page typed, double-spaced article written like an obituary complete with headline and byline (newspaper name, location & date) that explains a person in a correct historical viewpoint for that time & location. The summary of a person’s life would be from what the public thought most important at the time of the person’s death; that would be the lead paragraph, with the rest of life’s details

NOTEBOOK COVER SHEET
NAME: _____________________________
DIVISION: ___________
This is your cover sheet for your notebook. Each trimester take your work out of the 3-ring binder, put your notes in the order below, and staple this sheet on top. Your notebook is equal to forty points (x/40) of your grade for that cycle. The points count just the same as forty points earned in a quiz, project, or homework. I may collect the notebook at the end of the first three weeks of a cycle, or at the end of the trimester (after all 6 weeks are done).
Please see the website, a classmate, or me if you lose a paper.
First Semester ______
40
Second Semester ______
40
Third Semester ______
40
WHEN TURNING IN YOUR NOTEBOOK, PLEASE PUT THE PAPERS FROM THAT TRIMESTER IN THE FOLLOWING ORDER:
(note: you can use the same order for each week’s work, OR put all of the cycles’ objective sheets together, then all the notes, then all homework, etc.; use either way, just be consistent)
1. THIS cover sheet on top
2. Student Responsibility Sheet (one signed by parent)
3. objective sheets (marked by #, for example 2-1 means the first
week of the second trimester.)
4. notes
5. homework & worksheets
6. tests & quizzes
7. individual or group projects
8. anything else
NOTE: Include only material from the cycle just ending.
Mr. Haskell - Room 105 * Social Studies/Cinema Lit. * 2008-2009
How to Contact me 24/7: e-mail: John.Haskell@ct.gov
or phone 774-8511 ext.1418 or via school website: cttech.org/ellis
YOU are responsible for your education. This sheet explains my expectations
and how your work will be graded. Please have a parent read and sign this sheet.
Copies of objective sheets and other info. will be handed to you and most can be found on the teacher web page found at cttech.org/ellis.
I. Student Responsibilities
A. Do the assigned work and discuss, practice & study the unit objectives.
B. Follow current events and participate in class positively.
C. Keep a 3-ring binder notebook to pass in (see separate ‘cover sheet’)
D. Be on time and prepared to class with text, notebook, pen, etc.
E. Take part in class, by following directions, raising your hand to ask questions or offer input.
F. Do assignments on time. Partial credit for late work. If you are absent, see me with the work within 5 school days. Assignments are on link from cttech.org
II. Grading Policy
A. Your grade FOR THE YEAR is based on the 3 trimester grades AND the year-end final exam.
B. Grades for homework, individual & group projects, pop-quizes, quizzes, tests and semester finals will count. They will all be graded as a fraction: the number of points you earned, divided by the number of points possible. (Grammatical errors usually lower your grade by a point.) An assignment with five questions of three-points each would have a possible score of 15. If you had four answers correct, your grade would be 12/15. To figure out a “normal” percentage grade, divide the fraction: 12/15 = .8 or 80%.
At the end of each trimester, I will add up the total number of points you have earned and divide that number by the total number of points possible. You don’t have to wait, you can add the top numbers from all your grades and divide by the total of the bottoms at any time to find out your current standing. If your grades so far are: 4/6 + 15/20 + 18/23 + 84/96 + 23/40 + 10/12 = 154/197, your current grade would be 154/197 which divides out to .78 or 78% (a C+). Assignments that are completely done at home will count about 10% of the total. Maps, projects, classwork, individual projects, group projects, quizzes and tests make up the other 90%.
As you can see, you get some credit for every piece of work you do. The longer or tougher the task, the more points it is worth(bottom number) and therefore, the more it influences your grade. Quizzes and tests are usually worth a lot more than an INDIVIDUAL class work or homework,. Consider maps, homework, and projects as open-book,
take-home tests!
C. Year-end Final: At the end of the last trimester there may be a final exam covering objectives and material from all three semesters. Students who maintain an 85% average for the first two semesters and the first half of the third semester will be rewarded by not having to take the year-end final.
III. EXTRA HELP / EXTRA CREDIT I am available during some studies and most days after school for extra help. Please ask me at least one day ahead to make arrangements. If you have any problems, please let me know.
Extra credit work will only be granted if all three conditions are met:
1. a telephone or regular conference with a parent; 2. you write a paragraph proposal of a topic and format; and 3. the work is passed in by the last Wednesday of a marking period. The grade will be in the form of a fraction (35/35, 80/80) which will be added to the fraction you earned for that semester, then the total fraction
redivided for a new grade. I prefer you concentrate on the class objectives.
