Answer:Jamie's gross tax liability is $19,572.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Jamie is single with taxable income of $108,000 which includes $5,800 long term capital gain.

Therefore $102,200 (108,000 -5,800) will be taxed under normal tax rates and $5,800 would be under long term capital gain tax rate.

With regards the 2020 tax schedule, Since her ordinary income is $102,200, Jamie falls under 24% rate tax bracket under filing for single status.

qd

Tax liability on ordinary income =$14,382.50 plus 24% of any income you made above $84,200

14,382.50 + 0.24 (102,200 - 84,200)

14,382.50 + 0.24 x 18000

= 14,382.50 + 4,320

= $18,702.50

Also, according to her income, longterm capital gain tax applicable in 2020 is 15%

Tax on long term capital gain = 5,800 × 0.15

= $870

Jamie's gross tax liability is $18,702.50 + 870 = $19,572.50
