What is tax liability?

Tax liability refers to the amount that a taxpayer is obliged to pay.

The tax liability is a function of the taxpayer's taxable income, tax bracket, deductions, and applicable tax rate.

In this case, we have assumed a flat tax rate of 10% for both Carlson's earned income and the dividend income.

Data and Calculations:

Earned income = $14,000

Qualified Dividend income = $5,000

Adjusted taxable income = $6,450 ($19,000 - $12,550)

Tax liability = $645 ($6,450 x 10%)

Thus, Carson's tax liability for 2021 is $645.
