Accounting Jan 23, 2021

Leonardo, who is married but files separately, earns $63,500 of taxable income. He also has $16,600 in city of Tulsa bonds. His wife, Theresa, earns $51,600 of taxable income. If Leonardo instead had $31,600 of additional tax deductions for 2020, his marginal tax rate on the deductions would be: (Use tax rate schedule.) (Round your final answer to two decimal places.)

Expert Solution

Marginal tax rate is the rate of tax that will be applicable on next $1 of taxable income. So on increase of $1 on taxable income the rate of tax which is applicable is marginal tax rate  
We are using 2020 tax schedule  
We will use Married filing seprately schedule  
His total income is (63500+31600) 96100
   
On 63500 tax was 4617.5+(22%*(63500-40125)) 9760
On 96100 tax would be 14605.5+24%*(96100-85525) 17143.5
   
As the additional income falls both in 22% and 24% tax bracket hence we will take the tax rate in which last dollar of income falls. So answer is 24%  
   
Option E None of the choice are correct, as the correct rate is 24% , so all other options are incorrect.
