For example, the federal taxes are based on the income that remains after the state and local taxes are deducted. Similarly, the state taxes are based on the income that remains after federal and local taxes are deducted; the local taxes are based on the income that remains after state and federal taxes are deducted.

**Corporate Income Tax Calculation Example**

To understand how corporate income tax works, let’s consider the following example:

A corporation has a taxable income of $3,502,936. The corporation is subject to the following tax rates:
- Federal income tax rate: 54%
- State tax rate: 20%
- Local tax rate: 14%

If these tax rates are applied directly to the total taxable income, the calculation for local taxes would be:

\[ \text{Local taxes} = \$3,502,936 \times 0.14 \]

However, corporations are allowed to deduct the taxes paid when calculating their final tax obligation. This example illustrates how to determine the amount paid in local taxes when these customary deductions are taken into account.

**Task:**
Calculate and fill in the amount paid in local taxes, rounding to the nearest dollar.
