Question

Zack has collected the following information for preparing his 2019 taxes: Gross income $74,000, tax credits $2,500, itemized deductions $9,000, deductions for AGI $5,000, tax prepayments $8,400. Based on this information, Zack's "adjusted gross income" equals $________. and his "taxable income" equals $_______________.

Answer 1

Answer:

Zack's adjusted gross income

His adjusted gross income is equal to his gross income minus eligible deductions.

Adjusted gross income (AGI) = gross income - deductions for AGI

                                                = $74,000 - $5,000

                                                = $69,000

Zack's taxable income

His taxable income is equal to his AGI minus itemized deductions minus tax prepayments minus tax credits.

Taxable Income = $69,000 - $2,500 - $8,400

                           = $58,100
