g the week. However, she picks up an eight hour Sunday shift once a month, for which she earns time and a half. Jenna also lives at home and has health insurance under her moms plan. She is expected to pay for her own car repairs, maintenance and gas, as well as her auto insurance, which costs $1,000 a year. Jenna wants to take a trip to Mexico with her friends next year, which will cost $1,500. *Remember to compute net pay by taking 20% out for taxes*

A homestead exemption of $25,000, which serves as a standard deduction
Clarification:
The homestead exemption protects property values for residents from creditors, property taxes, and issues arising from the death of a spouse. Emma, being a widow with a yearly fixed income of $11,000, qualifies for this exemption, providing her with a standard deduction of $25,000.
Amanda isn't required to file taxes since her income is under $12,200. Jason, similarly, isn't obligated to file as his earnings are also below the threshold. In contrast, both Greg and Erin must submit tax returns since their incomes exceed the exempt limit.
