Example Federal income Tax Calculation

For tax year 2020, Joe is a SINGLE taxpayer and has ordinary taxable income in the amount of $43,500. What is his regular federal income tax? Using the 2020 regular income tax rate schedule above for a single person, Joe's federal income tax is $5,360. $43,500 X 22% = $9,570 - $4,210 = $5,360*

*The IRS tax tables MUST be used for taxable income LESS THAN $100,000 to calculate the EXACT income tax. The calculations above should come within $100 of the EXACT income tax.
