Looking at the worksheet, we’re being asked to complete line 7 of the Social Security Benefits Worksheet — specifically, to check “Yes” (which is already done) and then subtract line 6 from line 5.
Let’s go step by step:
Line 5 says: “Combine lines 2, 3, and 4”
→ Line 2 = 15000
→ Line 3 = 50000
→ Line 4 = 5000
So, 15000 + 50000 + 5000 =
70000 → That matches what’s written on line 5.
Line 6 says: “Enter the total of the amounts from Schedule 1, lines 11 through 20, and 23 and 25”
→ The value entered is
15000
Line 7 asks: “Is the amount on line 6 less than the amount on line 5?”
→ 15000 < 70000 → Yes, so we check “Yes” (already done).
Then it says: “Subtract line 6 from line 5”
→ So: 70000 - 15000 =
55000
That’s exactly what’s written in the box for line 7.
✔ All calculations are correct. The final answer for line 7 is 55000.
Final Answer:
55000
