Here’s the breakdown of how much remains of the $8000 after taxes and other deductions, according to the text:
Initial Amount: $8000
Taxes: $2000
Loss of Solidarity Tax Credit: $200/year
Loss of TPS Credit: $80/year
* Withdrawal from SRG (excluding SV pension): $4000
Total Deductions: $2000 + $200 + $80 + $4000 = $6280
Remaining Amount: $8000 – $6280 = $1720
The text states that the $8000 “cost her about $6,300”, which makes it actually needed to seek only $1,700 to meet her needs. This is slightly different from the calculation above, but the text rounds the deductions to $6,300 for simplicity.
