George purchased a life annuity for $5,200 that will provide him $80 monthly payments for as long as he lives. Based on IRS tables, George's life expectancy is 100 months. How much of the first $80 payment will George exclude from his gross income?

$28

Calculation for How much of the first $80 payment will George exclude from his gross income

First step is to calculate the return of capital per payment by using the annuity exclusion ratio

Annuity exclusion ratio =($5,200/($80*100))

Annuity exclusion ratio =($5,200/$8,000)

Annuity exclusion ratio = 65%

Therefore the return of capital per payment is be 65%

Now let calculate How much of the first $80 payment will George exclude from his gross income

Gross income exclusion=$28
