Clark filed Form 1040EZ for the Year 8 taxable year. In July, Year 9, Clark received a state income tax refund of $1,000 plus interest of $20, for overpayment of Year 8 state income tax. What amount of the state tax refund and interest is taxable in Clark's Year 9 federal income tax return?
A. $10
B. $1,000
C. $1,010
D. $20
【答案解析】D
Choice "d" is correct. Except for interest from state and local government bonds, interest income is fully taxable, so the $20 is included in income. Filing Form 1040EZ means that Clark did not itemize in the prior year, and therefore, did not deduct any state income taxes last year. Under the tax benefit rule, the refund is not taxable this year since Clark did not deduct the tax last year.
