Answer 1

Harry and Helen will receive a refund of $555.

Further explanation:

Tax liability of Harry and Helen:

The total income of the married couple is $65,922. It lies in the income slab of $65,900-65,950. The couple pays $187 weekly for the income tax. Thus, this amount will be deducted from their annual tax liability. The total tax liability for the married couple whose income is between $65,900-65,950 is $9,169.

$\begin{aligned}\text{Due Tax Liability}&=\text{Total Tax Liability}\\&\:\:\:\:\:-(\text{Weekly withheld amount}\times{\text{Number of weeks in a year}})\\&=\ 9,169-(\ 187\times{52})\\&=\ 555\end{aligned}$

Thus, the net tax liability of Harry and Helen is $555.

Justification for the correct and incorrect option:

a.

Harry and Helen will owe an additional $193: This is an incorrect option because the couple has more withhold amount than their actual tax liability.

b.

Harry and Helen will owe an additional $3,104: This is an incorrect option because the couple has more withhold amount than their actual tax liability.

c.

Harry and Helen will receive a refund of $724: This is an incorrect option because their actual tax refund will not be $724.

d.

Harry and Helen will receive a refund of $555: This is the correct option because the actual refund will be $555 as per above calculation.

Thus, option (d) is correct. Harry and Helen will receive a refund of $555.
