Solution:
The taxability of social security benefits will depend upon the
amount of combined income.
Combined Income = Half of Social Security benefits + Other
Income(include exempt interest)
Combined Income = ($20,000/2)+$12,000+$6,000
Combined Income = $28,000
When the combined income of a single investor is between
$25,000 and $34,000 then 50% of the Social Security Income is
taxable.
So, taxable income will be as follows:
Wages = $12,000
Interest Income = $2,000($6000-$4000)
Social Security benefits = $10,000($20,000*50%)
Taxable Income = $12,000+$2,000+$10,000
Taxable Income = $24,000
