Filling out the simplified tax form and determining if the government owes you a refund or you owe the government is as follows:
1. $85,800 is the Total annual income before the government withholds any taxes.
2. $9,350 is the Standard deduction since the taxpayer is unmarried.
3. $76,450 is the taxable income.
4. $18,200 is the Annual federal income tax withheld.
5. The amount owed on the taxable income (line 3) using Table 1 is $21,406.
6. The taxpayer's tax liability is $3,206 ($21,406 - $18,200).
Tax liability refers to the amount of tax that a taxpayer owes the government.
The tax liability should be settled. However, the government may owe the taxpayer a refund if the computed annual tax is less than the withheld tax.
Total annual income = $85,800 ($2,600 + $700 x 26)
Taxable income = $76,450 ($85,800 - $9,350)
Annual income tax withheld = $18,200 ($700 x 26)
Tax due = $21,406 ($76,450 x 28%) since annual income is above
Thus, there is no tax refund from the government because the tax liability of $3,206 exists after the withholding tax.
