    B) $1,800.

    Explanation:

    $14,000 in medical expenses are not part of Samuel's gross income.

    $7,000 in disability payments are not included in Samuel's gross income because he paid the premiums.

    $4,000 in pain and suffering compensation are not part of your gross income.

    The only payments that are part of Samuel's gross income and therefore are taxed, are his regular monthly salary payments = $1,800. If Samuel's disability insurance premium had been paid by his employer, then the $7,000 would have been taxable.
