When a candidate wins delegates in a state -- either by proportion of votes or winner-takes-all -- those delegates are presumed to be committed to voting for that candidate at the convention. Each party has a finite number of delegates who are up for grabs in the primaries.hen a candidate wins delegates in a state -- either by proportion of votes or winner-takes-all -- those delegates are presumed to be committed to voting for that candidate at the convention.

Emmet Pierce - Last updated: Jan. 15, 2016. Life insurance benefits and settlements for home and car insurance claims are generally not considered to be taxable income. As you file your taxes this year, you probably wonât have to dig out insurance-claims documents.
Social Security (FICA) and Medicare Deduction A taxpayer may claim a deduction for the amount contributed in the taxable year to FICA or a Railroad Retirement Plan, or to a U.S. or Massachusetts Retirement fund up to $2,000. Medicare premiums deducted from social security benefits or retirement payments are not an allowable deduction since the benefits are not included in gross income. 2  Nonresidents and part-year residents may claim this deduction only if it is directly related to taxable income reported on Form 1-NR/PY.
