Answer:
It would be better to get marry on 2019 that way they will saved in income taxes $138
Explanation:
We have to compare their two single taxable income
against marry filing jointly:
<u>Martina:</u>
15,000 - 12,200 standard deduction = 2,800
It willbe taxed at 10% = 280
<u>Raphael:</u>
45,000 - 12,200 standard = 32,800
It will be taxed 10% of 9,700 = 970
and 12% above: (32,800-9,700) x 12% = 2,772
total income tax for Raphael: 3,742
Total if married in 2020: 4,022
<u>Jointly:</u>
60,000 - 24,400 = 35,600 taxable income
it will be taxes at 10% for the first 19,400 = 1,940
and at 12% for the above: (35,600 - 19,400) x 12% = 1,944
Total: 3.884
Difference:
4,022 - 3,884 = 138
