Answer 1

$1,080.58

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question

Employer withheld in federal taxes last year = $9,873.33

His tax amount is $8,792.75

So by considering the above information, the Dale get a refund because the tax amount i.e $8,792.75 is less than the withheld amount i.e $9,873.33

So, the refund amount is

= $9,873.33 - $8,792.75

= $1,080.58

Hence, the difference in amount would be treated as a refund
