The customer’s budget group = Self, daughter, and granddaughter. The daughter’s income is below the tax filing threshold, she is the customer’s child, and they are both in the budget group. Since all three conditions are met, the daughter’s income is not counted in the customer’s budget. Total monthly income counted is $2,200 (the customer’s monthly income).
The daughter’s budget group = The customer, self, and granddaughter. The daughter’s income is below the tax filing threshold, she is the customer’s child, and they are both in the budget group. Since all three conditions are met, the daughter’s income is not counted in her own budget. Total monthly income counted is $2,200 (The customer’s monthly income).
The granddaughter’s budget group = Daughter and self. The daughter’s income is still below the tax filing threshold, and she is under 19, but her parent (the customer) is not part of the granddaughter’s budget group.
