Question

question 9 of 10
a part-time landscaper made $8996.32 last year. if she claimed herself as an exemption for $3650 and had a $5700 standard deduction, what was her taxable income last year?

a. $5346.32
b. $0
c. $353.68
d. $3296.32

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total deductions

To find the total deductions, we add the exemption and the standard deduction. The exemption is $3650 and the standard deduction is $5700. So, total deductions = $3650 + $5700 = $9350.

Step2: Compare income and total deductions

The landscaper's income last year was $8996.32. Since $8996.32 < $9350, her taxable income is $0 (because her income is less than her total deductions, so she has no taxable income).

Answer:

B. $0
