Answer 1

Answer:

$874

Explanation:

Calculation for Simon's additional Medicare tax

Based on the information given we were told Simon has a MAGI of the amount of $223,000 in which part of it is for wages income of the amount of $185,000 ($223,000 -$38,000)

while the amount of $38,000 is the net investment income which means that Samson MAGI is below the threshold limit of the amount of $200,000, therefore tax rate of 3.8% tax will be applied.

Now let calculate the additional Medicare tax

Additional Medicare tax = ($38,000-$15,000)*3.8%

Additional Medicare tax =$23,000*3.8%

Additional Medicare tax = $874

Therefore Simon's additional Medicare tax is:874
