Answer:

$47,200

Explanation:

Given :

The total income of a married couple = $75,000.

Number of children = 2

Therefore to find the taxable income of a U.S. family is given by the following formula ---

taxable income = total income- exemption deduction - standard deduction

We know that exemption deduction for a U.S couple as fixed by the government is $15,600.

And the standard deduction for a U.S couple as fixed by the government is $12,200.

Thus in order to find the taxable income of the couple, use the formula

taxable income = total income- exemption deduction - standard deduction

= $75,000 - $15,600 - $12,200

= $47,200.

Thus the taxable income is $47,200.
