Answer:
His tax liability for 2019 (due April 2020) is $23,359.50
Explanation:
Since Robert s a single filer, he falls under the fourth tax bracket: income between $84,201 to $160,725. His marginal tax rate is 24%, and his total taxes due are as following:
<u>tax rate</u> <u>earnings</u> <u>taxes due</u>
10% $0 – $9,875 $987,50
12% $9,875 – $40,125 $3,630
22% $40,126 – $85,525 $9,988
24% $85,526 – $122,000 $8,754
total $23,359.50
*Option C is the closest one, but it used the 2018 tax brackets, not the 2019.
