Scenario 3 Jake Lowenstein is an underground leftist radical

Scenario 3: Jake Lowenstein is an underground leftist radical. He is Murphy\'s ex-husband. He is also the father of Avery, age 4, who lives with Murphy. His income is $110,000. He takes the standard deduction.

What is his taxable income?

What is his tax before credits?

Solution

Because Murphy is divorced he can\'t file jointly with murphy

and also avery stays with her mother thus no dependency

HIs taxable income thus would be $110000 - $6350 = 103650

Tax before credits = 91900*0.25 = 22975

=(110000-91900) *0.28 = 5068

Total = 28043
