FTC uses child rates less 27.5% abatement over $44,900, then applies the confirmed shared-care percentage.
Worked example
Other WFF components stay explicit rather than being guessed.
Scope and edge cases
Eligibility, tax codes, certificates, multiple income sources and annual reconciliation can change the final outcome. Missing components are disclosed instead of silently becoming zero.
