什么是TRIO?

The TRIO Adult Educational Opportunity Center (AEOC) is a 免费的 TRIO EOC program funded by the U.S. 教育部 and sponsored by SUNY Genesee Community College (GCC).

What are TRIO Educational Opportunity Centers (EOCs)?

“The Educational Opportunity Centers program provides counseling and information on college admissions to qualified adults who want to enter or continue a program of postsecondary education. The program also provides services to improve the financial and economic literacy of participants. An important objective of the program is to counsel participants on financial aid options, including basic financial planning skills, and to assist in the application process. The goal of the EOC program is to increase the number of adult participants who enroll in postsecondary education institutions.” – http://www2.ed.gov/programs/trioeoc/index.html 

The Educational Opportunity Center programs were enacted under the 1972 Amendments of the Higher Education Act of 1965. EOC is authorized under Title IV of the Higher Education Act, which also authorizes the Federal 学生 Aid programs.

AEOC is one of only three TRIO EOCs (different from SUNY EOCs) in 纽约 State and the only one outside of 纽约 City. AEOC is also one of 142 TRIO EOC programs across the country. EOC grants are awarded in five-year terms. 在过去的拨款周期中, TRIO EOC programs received $48 million nationally to provide free services for almost 200,000名成年人. AEOC is funded to serve over 1,000 students in our target area each year. – http://www.ed.gov/news/press-releases/education-department-awards-48-million-trio-educational-opportunity-centers-grants-improve-adult-college-readiness

什么是应纳税所得额?(AEOC)

lol菠菜竞猜AEOC申请, you will be asked to disclose the range of your taxable income, which is required per our grant regulations. If students are determined independent per financial aid standards (typically all persons under 24 with no spouse or dependents), they will need to use their parent(s)/guardian(s)’ taxable income and get a parent/guardian signature for verification.

Taxable income is the amount of income used to calculate how much tax an individual owes the government in a given tax year. This is different from your salary or your gross income. In almost every situation, taxable income is less than your gross income. Taxable income can be found on either the IRS Form 1040 on Line 11b OR the NYS Form 201-IT on line 37 or 38. If you cannot readily find this form, you can calculate your taxable income using the formula below:

Gross Income – Above Line Deductions – Below Line Deductions = Taxable Income

条款

总收入包括, 但不限于, 工资, 工资, 奖金, 提示, 租金收入, 一些政府福利(例如.e. unemployment, disability, etc.), 股息, 资本利得, 利息收入, 附加福利, 版税, 还有退休分配. If you are married and filed your 2019 taxes jointly, you must include all your spouse’s income as well.

Note: Any income that is explicitly tax-exempt does not count towards this number (i.e. child support payments, veterans’ benefits, welfare, workers’ comp, SSI, etc.)

Above the Line Deductions can include, 但不限于, 租金减免, 一些商业扣除, 股票损失, 移动费用, 已付学生贷款利息, 和赡养费.

Below the Line Deductions are either standard or itemized. 通常, individuals only itemize their deductions if it will add up to more than the standard deduction.

Example Standard Deduction Amounts

Person A and Person B are married and filed their 2019 taxes jointly. A赚20美元,000 a year and Person B makes $35,000 a year with no additional income, 总收入是55美元,000. They have $0 in above the line deductions and took the standard deduction of $24,400. Therefore, their estimated taxable income is $30,600.
