Answer:

  • Simon's net unearned income is $5,300.
  • Simon's allocable parental tax is $1,166.
  • Simon's total tax is $1,276.

Explanation:

Simon net unearned income = Earned income - Standard deduction - Statutory deduction

= 7,500 - 1,100 - 1,100

= $5,300

Parents filling together with a gross income of $82,250 will fall under the 22% tax bracket.

Simon allocable parental tax = 5,300 * 22%

= $1,166

At kiddie tax rates, maximum unearned income to be taxed is $2,200.

Simon falls under 10% range in 2020.

Tax = (2,200 - $1,100 deduction) * 10%

= $110

Simon total tax = Allocable parental tax + tax on unearned income

= 1,166 + 110

= $1,276
