Case Information
Millie is a single taxpayer and her 2018 taxable income is $181,205. The detailed calculation of taxable income is provided in the “PBC” document.
- Separate Millie’s 2018 taxable income of $181,205 into its ordinary income and preferential income components. Hint – your ordinary income and preferential income amounts should total Millie’s taxable income of $181,205.
- Using the single taxpayer ordinary tax rate brackets on the previous page, compute Millie’s 2018 income tax liability she should report on her 2018 Form 1040, Line 11. Do NOT calculate any self-employment tax, additional Medicare tax or net investment income tax that Millie might also be liable for (these additional taxes would be reported on Schedule 4 and Form 1040, Line 14).
