The answer is: E) None of the above

Explanation:

Mitch's earnings fall into the third category set by the IRS for taxable income:

earnings between: $78,951 - $168,400

taxes due: $9,086 + (22% of the amount over $78,950)

= $9,086 + (22% x $21,050)

= $9,086 + $4,631

federal taxes due = $13,717

Since Mitch earns $10,000 in interest from a municipal bond (city of Birmingham), he is except from paying federal taxes for that income.
