Question

Mary Jarvis is a single individual who is working on filing her tax return for the previous year. She has assembled the following relevant information:

She received $96,000 in salary.
She received $11,500 of dividend income.
She received $9,000 of interest income on Home Depot bonds.
She received $23,500 from the sale of Disney stock that was purchased 2 years prior to the sale at a cost of $9,700.
She received $9,500 from the sale of Google stock that was purchased 6 months prior to the sale at a cost of $6,700.
Mary only has allowable itemized deductions of $6,700, so she will take the standard deduction of $12,400. The standard deduction is subtracted from her gross income to determine her taxable income.
Assume that her tax rates are based on Table 3.5.

Taxable income = 130,400

Tax Bracket: $85,525-163,300

Pay amount on base of bracket: $14,605.50

Plus this percentage on excess: %24

Average tax rate at top of bracket: %20.4
