Determine the amount of Alex's taxable income assuming he has not other itemized deductions. The standard deduction for single taxpayers is $12,000. Taxable income: $_________

Answer 1

Answer:

Taxable income is $48,000

Explanation:

The computation of the taxable income is shown below:

= Alex AGI + Revenue - standard deduction

= $42,000 + $18,000  - $12,000

= $48,000

We simply added the Adjusted Gross income (AGI) and revenue and then deducted the standard deduction which is given in the question.

The other information which is given in the question is not relevant for the computation part. Hence, ignored it
