Expert Solution
Step 1

Adjusted gross income (AGI) is your yearly gross income less certain changes that the Internal Revenue Service uses to decide your annual tax obligation for the year.  As endorsed in the United States tax code, AGI is an adjustment of Gross Income. Net income is just the amount of all the cash you acquired in a year, which may incorporate wages, profits, capital gains, royalties, interest income, alimony, Rental income, and retirement dispersion. AGI makes certain changes following your gross pay to arrive at the figure on which your assessment responsibility will be ascertained.

Calculation

AGI = adjustment in the gross income

       = 52,000 + 1,200 + 3,000 - 2,500 – 3597

       = $50,103
