B. Type of Earnings

Explanation:

Federal Income Taxes are taxes levied by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) of the United States and it usually calculated and taken or withheld from the annual income of persons, corporations among other legal organisations.

The components that get taxed from one's income include the earnings from employment as well as the capital gains and the number of exemptions, gross pay of the individual and the filing status are very important in calculating the tax.

However, type of earning is a determinant that is only relevant for self-employment and since the individual is an employee, then it will not be relevant for making decisions on deductions from the individual's pay.
