Answer 1

b.	Description	Amount
1	Gross Income	$110,000
2	For AGI deductions	-
3	Adjusted gross income	$110,000
4	Standard deduction	$18,350	Head of household
5	Itemized deductions	$23,000
6	Greater of Standard deduction/Itemized deductions	$23,000
7	Taxable income	$87,000
8	Income tax liability	$13,298	[$6,065 + ($83,000 - $52,850) x 22%] + $4,000 x 15%
9	Child tax credit	$2,000
