Answer 1

Q.3

The total income of Tina is less than $9700 which is minimum taxable income. Thus, Tina's taxable income for 2020 is $0.

Q.4

$Income Tax (Single)=(19,400\times 0.1)+(41,600\times 0.12)\\ =1940+4992\\ =6932$

Since, the income of Mike is less than $9700, it is not taxable.

$Income Tax=(19,400\times 0.1)+(50,600\times 0.12)\\ =1940+6072\\ =8012$

If, they filed return jointly, they have to pay extra tax amount. Hence, there will be no tax saving, if they filed return jointly.
