Expert Solution
Step 1

Gross income is used to refer to the total amount of earnings that an individual receives, which includes salaries, capital gains, etc.

The adjusted gross income is the income remaining after the necessary adjustments are made. They include the expenses, the losses in capital gains, the contributions to retirement plans and medicare policies, etc.

The taxable income is the remaining income on which taxes are paid. It is calculated by removing deductions and exemptions from the adjusted gross income.
