Question

George Washburn had earnings from his salary of $34,000, interest on savings of $800, a contribution to a traditional individual retirement account of $1,500, and dividends from mutual funds of $600. George's adjusted income (AGI) would be:_______.a. $62,045.

b. $60,060.
c. $55,450.
d. $57,310.

Answer 1

$33,900 (none of the options given in the question are correct).

Step-by-step explanation:

George's adjusted gross income (AGI) will include his personal earnings from his salary, the interest that he has earned from savings, and the dividends that he got from mutual funds, but it will not include his contribution to his individual retirement account, because individual retirement accounts are not included in AGI.

Therefore, George's AGI is equal to:

$34,000 + $800 + $600 - $1,500 = $33.900
