Questions about this calculator
Is unemployment benefit taxable?
Part of it is not. The calculator separates the non-taxable benefits from taxable work, self-employment and compensation income earned in the same year.
I worked part-time while receiving it - now what?
Partial work is taxed as employment income and the benefit keeps its own treatment. The calculator holds the two apart instead of blending them into one figure.
Does severance change anything?
Severance has its own IRS treatment, and the resource test can adjust what the benefit pays. Both are modelled beside the benefit, not after the fact.
