Marco Gill · Answer 1

You can calculate the federal income taxes that Nevan owes by multiplying his gross pay, $45,150, times the tax rate, 16%, and then subtract the withholdings:1) $45,150 * 16% = $7224; 2) $7224 - $6150 = $1074. Then, Nevan owes an additional $1074 in feferal tax, which is the option b.
