Kiddie tax is applicable as Simon has Unearned Income of more than $2,200. Therefore, the amount above it will be taxed.
Total Unearned income in the given case = $900+$4,000= $4,900.
Standard Deduction = $2,200
Net unearned Income = Total unearned income - Standard deduction
= $4,900 - $2,200
= $2,700.
Total Tax payable by Simon
10% of taxable income up to $2,550 = 10% of $2,550 =$255
24% of the taxable income over $2,550 = ( $2,700 - $2,550 ) * 24% =$36
Tax payable by Simon =$255 + $36 = $291.
Total tax payable by Simon (after rounding off) = $290.
