b. $160,000.
c. $156,000.
d. $161,000.

Answer 1

Answer:

c. $156,000

Explanation:

Adjusted gross income = Wage income + Long-term capital gains + Short-term capital gains - Long-term capital losses - Short-term losses

Adjusted gross income = $160,000 + $1,000 + $3,000 - $7,000 - $1,000

Adjusted gross income = $156,000

Thus, Gabriella's AGI for 2017 is $156,000
