Answer #1

Net earnings after employment taxes = 2,40,000

Lets assume total taxable income is X out of which 1/2 have been paid as tax. 15.3 % is the self employment tax in US.

X- ((15. 3% * X)*1/2) = 2,40,000

X= 256684

20% of this 256684 is the minimum contribution that needs to be made. So, $56000 is the maximum that can be made.

Answer is 56000
