WORKING NOTES :

1)Adjusted gross total income = Gross total Income - specific deductions

2) Assuming spouse file returns jointly

3) QBI (Qualified business income) deduction can be claimed as mrs.z has sole proprietor business which is considered as "pass-through" business and thus 20% of business income is eligible for deduction.

4)slab rates for married filing joint returns states (other than capital gain)

$0-$19400 = 10%

$19401-$78950 = 12%

as income of Mr & Mrs Z is $ 75200

upto $19400 = 19400*10% = 1940

remaining $55800 = 55800*12% = 6696

total tax = 1940+6696 = 8636

5) Tax Rate for long term capital gain for married filing jointly is

for gain upto $78750 = 0 %

6) sole proprietor tax is not included in this as no amount is mentioned in the question as paid by mrs.z for her business as a sole proprietor

7) Federal tax is deducted by the employer at the source of income and is deposited with the government so it is deducted form tax and the excess amount of federal tax deducted will be refunded

8) business expenses will be eligible for deduction from business income

9)Itemized deductions and retirement account deposits will be eligible as a deduction from income
