For James to avoid an underpayment penalty in 2020, he needs to pay <u>$23,912.50</u>.

<h3>What is an underpayment penalty?</h3>

An underpayment penalty is the IRS fine levied on taxpayers who do not pay enough of their estimated tax liability.

According to the IRS rules, to avoid an underpayment penalty, James must pay either 100% of last year's tax or 90% for 2020.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Tax liability from 2019 = $6,700

AGI for the current tax year = $85,000

Taxable income = $76,500 (assumed to be 90% of AGI)

Tax rate = 25%

Tax liability for 2020 = $19,125 ($76,500 x 25%)

Minimum tax to pay to avoid underpayment penalty = $23, 912.50 ($6,700 + $19,125 x 90%)

Thus, for James to avoid an underpayment penalty in 2020, he needs to pay <u>$23,912.50</u>.

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer: Yes. The motel within its rights to refuse her admittance

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Manpreet reserved a room at the Moonlight Motel but couldn't later travel and therefore called her sister, Ravinder, to make use of the motel room in her place.

We are further told that Ravinder was refused admittance to the room on the grounds that there was a waiting list and she was not on it.

Based on the nice scenario, the motel was within its rights to refuse her admittance. It should be noted that the hotel room wasn't booked in her name but rather booked in Manpreet's name. The thing that Manpreet could have done is to inform the motel when she realize that she couldn't come and change the terms of the contract by saying her sister will be coming. But in this scenario, the motel is within its rights to refuse her admittance.
