John Johnson’s gross pay for this week is $520.95. He is single and claims one withholding allowance. What amount will be withheld from John's pay for federal income tax this week?

Answer 1

Because his wage is $520.95, it lies between the at least 520 but less than 530 category.

He claimed one withholding allowance, so he needs to pay $54 in income tax.

Answer 2

Answer: $54

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: John Johnson’s gross pay for this week is $520.95.

From the table $520.95 is between $520 and $530.

So, pick the row of at least $520 but less than $530.

Since, he claims one withholding allowance, therefore pick the column of 1.

We, get the amount will be withheld from John's pay for federal income tax this week=$54 [at the intersection point of the row and column which we have selected]
