Answer:
The correct answer to the following question is $9479 .
Explanation:
The taxable income ( ordinary ) of Linda in year 2018 is $80,000.
Now as per 2018 tax schedule Linda will have to pay $8907 and since her taxable income is above $77,400, that means she will have to pay 22% tax on the difference between $80,000 and $77,400, so therefore her tax liability would be -
$8907 + 22% x $2260 ( $80,000 - $77,400 )
= $8907 + $572
= $9479
