Expert Solution

Tom's taxable income is calculated as follows:-

Particulars	Amount
Wages	162,560
Tips	8,076
Alimony Payment	(17,026)
Adjusted Gross Income	153,610

Less:- Standard Deduction	(13,850)

Taxable Income	139,760

Please note that per IRS, Tips are also included as part of the total income and hence they should be included in the calculation of taxable income. Similarly, since Alimony divorce agreement was executed in 2015, it is still eligible to be excluded from calculating the Total taxable income.

Also, per IRS, the standard deduction allowed for an individual filing single and who is 68 years old is $13,850 which has been appropriately deducted in the calculation of Taxable Income for Tom.
