Final answer:
Acie should add the federal income tax withheld from both W-2 forms and the Making Work Pay credit to get a total of $4540 for line 10 on the 1040EZ form.
Step-by-step explanation:
Acie should calculate his total credits and withholdings to determine what to enter on line 10 of his 1040EZ form. He needs to add federal income tax withheld from both W-2 forms and the Making Work Pay credit.
- Federal income tax withheld from first W-2: $3880
- Federal income tax withheld from second W-2: $260
- Making Work Pay credit: $400
- Total payments and credits: $3880 + $260 + $400 = $4540
Therefore, the correct entry for line 10 would be $4540, which is option (a).
