Answer 1

Jackie's state income tax withheld in Kansas is $57.78 for the pay period, calculated by applying the Kansas tax rate of 2.7% to her bi-weekly gross earnings of $2,140.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the amount of state income tax withheld for Jackie from Kansas, we must apply the appropriate tax rate to her bi-weekly gross earnings. According to the tax rate schedule, Kansas has a tax rate of 2.7% on taxable income up to $15,000. Since Jackie's year-to-date earnings are $14,930, she has not reached the threshold where the higher tax rate applies.

First, we determine her taxable income for the period:

• Bi-weekly gross earnings: $2,140

Next, we apply Kansas's tax rate of 2.7% to her earnings:

State income tax withheld = 2.7% of $2,140 = 0.027 * $2,140 = $57.78

Therefore, the state income tax withheld from Jackie's pay for this period is $57.78.
