Answer:
$29,760
Explanation:
We substract all the following quantities.
Total Income - Excludable Income - Deductions for Adjusted Gross Income:
$118,000 - $2,000 - $2,500 = $113,500
This figure is the Adjusted Gross Income. Now we substract the deductions from adjusted gross income to obtain the taxable income.
$113,500 - 8,800 = $124,000
Finally, we multiply this figure by 24% to obtain the tax liablity
$124,000 x 0.24 = $29,760
