Answer:

d. AGI $151,088; taxable income $108,630.

Explanation:

First we need to calculate Gross Income

Gross Income = Salary Income + Business Income + Dividend Income

Gross Income = $60,000 + $95,000 + $2,800

Gross Income = $157,800

Now Calculate adjusted gross income

Adjusted Gross Income = Gross Income - Self Employment Tax

Adjusted Gross Income = $157,800 - $6,712

Adjusted Gross Income = $151,088

Deduction will be as follow

Higher of

Itemized Deduction = $19,200

Standard deduction = $24,400

So, Standard deduction will be made because it is higher

QBI deduction = $95,000 x 20% = $19,000

Taxable Income = Adjusted Gross Income - Standard Deduction - QBI deduction  

Taxable Income = $151,088 - $24,400 - $19,000

Taxable Income = $107,688
