Dominique's total allowable medical expenses in 2019 were $4,200. Her net income was $70,000 and the cut-off for the medical expense amount in 2019 was 3% of net income, or $2,353, whichever is less. What was her federal medical expense tax credit in 2019? The lowest federal tax rate was 15%.
a. $353
b. $277
c.$315
d. $630
Answer : Correct Option is (c.) $315
Reason :
In order to get tax credit allowable medical expenditure must exceed 3% of net income, or $2,353, whichever is less.In this case this situation is satisfied therefore,
Tax Credit = {Total allowable Medical Expense - [ 3% of net income, or $2,353, whichever is less.]} * Federal tax rate
= {4200 - [(3% * 70000) or 2353 , whicever is less]} * 15%
= {4200 - [2100 or 2353,whichever is less]} 15%
= {4200 - 2100} * 15%
= $315
