Question 8 • Financial Math

If a single filer has a taxable income of $⁢50,000 , what is the amount of federal income tax they owe based on the 2023 tax brackets?

Answer
A
$8,328
B
$5,000
C
6 dollars comma 307 point 1 6
D
7 dollars comma 038

Explanation

For a single filer, the 2023 brackets tax the first $11,000 at 10%, the next $33,725 at 12%, and the remaining $5,275 of a $50,000 income at 22%. That totals $1,100 + $4,047 + $1,160.50 = $6,307.50, so the matching choice is D, about $6,307.16. The slight difference in cents appears to be a rounding or typo in the choice.
