Option D ) $149,701

Long term capital gain has different tax bracket. Tax on long term capital gain is calculated after calculating the tax on normal income. Use this normal income amount to determine the rate for long-term gain, up to the top of the bracket.

Rate of tax on long term capital gain

Tax rate Head of household(amount $)
0% 0 - 53,600
15% 53,600 - 469,050
20% Over - 469,050

(Total taxable income = 457,000+85,000(12,050+72,950) = 542,000)

Standard deduction is deductible in normal income not in long term capital gain.
