Answer:
Leon's taxable income will be divided as follows
B) net unearned income -$7,150 and earned taxable income -$0.
Explanation:
a) Data:
Earnings from part-time job = $6,500
Interest income from grandparents' bonds = $7,500
Taxable income on the interest income = $7,150
b) For 2020, Leon, age 14, can earn up to $12,200 without paying income tax. Â This implies that he cannot pay income tax on the $6,500 which he earns from a part-time job. Â But he is expected to pay tax on the interest income from bonds given him by his grandparents. Â Under the kiddie tax rules, his income is separated between net unearned income and other taxable income taxed at his own rate.
