US Tax System

1.)Danny is a single taxpayer and has taxable income of $125,000 for 2020. If Danny anticipates a marginal tax rate of 22% in 2021, what income tax savings could he expect by accelerating $8,000 of deductible expenditures planned for 2021 in the 2020 tax year?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Calculate tax liability for Danny:

Tax liability = $14,605.16 + ($125,000 - $85,526) * 24%

Tax liability = $14,605.16 + $9,473.76

Tax liability = $24,078.92

Workings:

$14,605.16 = (($9,875 * 10%) + (($40,125 -$9,876) * 12%) + ($85,525 - $40,126)* 22%)

$14,605.16 = $987.50 +$3,629.88 + $9,987.78
