Answer :

taxable income is $30,300

Explanation:

Given

The combine income of the husband and wife = $62,000

Number of children the couple has = 3

In order to find out the taxable income for an U.S. family, the following formula is used

taxable income = total income - exemption deduction - standard deduction

We know the exemption deduction for a married couple with three kids fixed according to the U.S. government is $19,500.

And the standard deduction for a married couple with three kids fixed according to the U.S. government is $12,200.

Therefore,

taxable income = total income - exemption deduction - standard deduction

= $62,000 - $19,500 - $12,200

= $30,300

Thus the taxable income is $30,300.
