A family with a child purchases 800 hours of childcare per year. The hourly rate for childcare was $10 in 2020. Families can deduct childcare expenditures up to $8,000. One spouse worked during the year while the other spouse did not earn income. The spouse that worked can claim a tax credit of $6,000. What is the after-tax income available to the family when the spouse that worked earned $100,000 in 2020? What is the effective tax rate (taxes paid over total pre-tax income).
