Hi,

I basically have a house I am trying to figure my return on it. Can somebody tell me how to do a very rough estimate?

Annual Interest Paid: 24,000
Property Tax: 5,000
Gross Income: 24,000
Maintenance: 1,000

I personally get taxed 10,000 a year. My salary is 50,000 a year. How much can I expect to get back?

Thanks!

I am a tax accounting specialist. I do not understand anything in the OP.
Is the OP trying to calculate something on their 1040? Something about income from renting (or selling??) the house mentioned? Something else?
What does "personally getting taxed" mean?
Was the "Interest" mentioned paid TO the OP by some institution, or did the OP pay that interest amount on the mortgage for the house mentioned?
Is this a question about calculating ROI? (return on investment) Because if it's ROI, the return is clearly in the red.
Does anyone understand this OP?

First of all, I sure hope you filed an extension on your return since you're about 15 days past the filing deadline.

How much do you have withheld or otherwise paid in and what is your filing status?

You can plug all of your numbers in at TurboTax® Tax Preparation Software, FREE Tax Filing, eFile Taxes, Income Tax Returns and see what your taxes would be. You don't have to pay until you file, and only if you chose to file through them.

Yes, we appreciate that you are trying to learn something. But I think we're having difficulty understanding exactly what you are asking.

Are you asking something about income-producing real estate? If so, what are you asking?
Or are you asking something about Form 1040 (or other Form), federal income taxes? If so, what are you asking?

Could you perhaps rephrase your questions? We are hoping to understand how to help you. Thank you so much!

Me too! Totally befuddled by the Gross Income of $24K and a salary of $50K. Is $24K AGI...and personally taxed, is that property taxes? withholding? Duh? I'm out!
