8 0

Answer: 6.40%

Explanation:

Use Excel to calculate this by the formula;

= RATE(Nper,Pmt,-Pv,Fv)

Nper is number of periods = 20 * 2 = 40 semi annual periods

Pmt is the payment = $6%/2 * 1,000 = $30

Pv is the present value = $955

Fv is future value or face value = $1,000

= RATE (40,60,-955,1000)

= 3.20% * 2 (because this is a semi annual rate)

= 6.40%

Jeremy earned $100,000 in salary and $6,000 in interest income during the year. Jeremy’s employer withheld $11,200 of federal in
iragen [17]

Answer:

Tax Due by Jeremy is $218

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate Jeremy's total Income

$100,000 (Salary) + $6,000 (Interest Income) + $4,000 (long term capital gain)=  $110,000

Jeremy's exclusion at this point is 0.

Therefore, Jeremy's Gross income = $110,000, This is also Jeremy's Adjusted Gross Income (AGI).

Step 2: Calculate Taxable Income after deductions.

AGI= $110,000

Deductions from AGI= $23,000 (The greater of standard or itemized deduction).

Qualified Business Income Deductions (QBI)= $0 (Jeremy did not declare any personal business).

Taxable Income= AGI-Deductions- QBI Deductions

= $110,000-$23,000-0

= $87,000

Step 3: Calculate Jeremy's Tax Liability as follows:

Capital Gain is included as part of Gross Income, therefore finding the tax liability will necesitate that the capital gain be deducted and only the taxable percentage be added back.

Jeremy's tax liability = (87,000-4,000) + (4,000 x 0.15)

= ($83,000 x 15.4%) + 600

=$12,818 + 600

=$13,418

Jeremy's total tax Liability= $13,418 - $0 (non refundable tax credit) + 0 (other taxes)

Jeremy's total tax liability = $13,418

The total tax payment made by Jeremy

=(2,000 + 11,200)= $13,200

Therefore the tax due by Jeremy is Total Tax Liability - Tax Payment mande

= $13,418 - $13,200

= $218
