During 2009, Daniel had salary income of $67,000, $1600 of qualified dividend income, and received $50,000 from the life insurance policy on his wife. His employer does not offer a retirement plan so he made a $3,000 contribution to his traditional IRA. He paid $9,800 for a hospital bill and $3,000 for a doctor bill for his deceased wife.
