Answer 1

i. Paola's taxable income is $40,675.

From the table, as she is married but filing taxes jointly, her withheld tax should be,

`\text{ \$4486}`

But she had $4,654 withheld.

Therefore, Paola would be getting a refund of $4654 - $4486 = $168

ii. Pedro's taxable income however is $38,802

From the table, since he is married and files taxes jointly, his withheld tax should be,

`\text{ \$3544}`

But he had $4345 withheld.

Therefore, Pedro would be getting a refund of $4345 - $3544 = $801

Answer:

Both Paola and Pedro would get refunds.

Paola would get $168 while Pedro would get $801
