Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

Matt and Meg Comer are married, file a joint tax return and do not have any children.

The total salary of Matt and Meg = $64,700 + $34,000 = $98,700

The net short capital gain = Short-term capital gains - Short-term capital losses

The net short capital gain =  $9,200 - $2,200 = $7,000

The net Long term capital gains = Long-term capital gains - Long-term capital losses

The net Long term capital gains = $15,390 - $6,390 = $9000

The Adjusted gross income AGI = Total Salary + net short capital gain + net Long term capital gains

The Adjusted gross income AGI = $98,700 + $7,000 +  $9000

The Adjusted gross income AGI = $114700

The Taxable income = Adjusted gross income AGI - Standard deduction

The Taxable income = $114700 - $24,400

The Taxable income = $90,300

The net taxable income = Taxable income - less preferentially taxed income

The net taxable income =  $90,300 - $9000

The net taxable income =  $81,300

For 2019:

Tax Liability = $9086 + ($81,300 - $78,950) × 22%    

Tax Liability = $9086 + ($2,350)  × 0.22

Tax Liability = $9086 + $517

Tax Liability = $9,603

The long-term capital gain for 2019 = $9,000 ×  15%    (since it is between  15% - 37% ordinary income tax range, it may be taxed as 15%)

The long-term capital gain for 2019 = $9,000 ×  0.15

The long-term capital gain for 2019 = $1350

Therefore;  the Comers’ tax liability for 2019 if they report the following capital gains and losses for the year is:

Tax Liability  + The long-term capital gain for 2019

= $9,603 + $1350

= $10953

b.

The total salary of Matt and Meg = $64,700 + $34,000 = $98,700

The net short capital gain = Short-term capital gains - Short-term capital losses

The net short capital gain =  $1,500 - $0 = $1,500

The net Long term capital gains = Long-term capital gains - Long-term capital losses

The net Long term capital gains = $10,500 - $10,200 = $300

The Adjusted gross income AGI = Total Salary + net short capital gain + net Long term capital gains

The Adjusted gross income AGI = $98,700 + $1,500 +  $300

The Adjusted gross income AGI = $100,500

The Taxable income = Adjusted gross income AGI - Standard deduction

The Taxable income = $100500 - $24,400

The Taxable income = $76,100

The net taxable income = Taxable income - less preferentially taxed income

The net taxable income =  $76,100 - $300

The net taxable income =  $75,800

For 2019:

Tax Liability = $1940 + ($75,800 - $19,400) × 12%

Tax Liability = $1940 + ($56400)  × 0.12

Tax Liability = $1940 + $6768

Tax Liability = $8,708

The long-term capital gain for 2019 = $3,190 ×  0%        (since it is in 10% - 15% ordinary income tax range)

The long-term capital gain for 2019 = $0

Therefore;  the Comers’ tax liability for 2019 if they report the following capital gains and losses for the year is:

Tax Liability  + The long-term capital gain for 2019

= $8,708 + $0

= $8708
