Worked Examples

Example 1: Single filer with $50,000 income

For a single filer with $50,000 income, $10,000 in deductions, and $1,000 in credits:

Taxable Income = $50,000 - $10,000 = $40,000 Tax Owed = $40,000 × 22% = $8,800 Tax Return = $8,800 - $1,000 = $7,800

This person would receive a $7,800 refund.

Example 2: Married filing jointly with $100,000 income

For a married couple filing jointly with $100,000 income, $20,000 in deductions, and $2,000 in credits:

Taxable Income = $100,000 - $20,000 = $80,000 Tax Owed = $80,000 × 24% = $19,200 Tax Return = $19,200 - $2,000 = $17,200

This couple would receive a $17,200 refund.
