To determine the amount of federal income tax withheld for a single person with 5 withholding allowances who makes [tex]$841 per payroll period, follow these steps:
1. Identify the wage range: First, locate the range in the wage table that includes $[/tex]841. From the provided table, we can see:
[tex]\[
840 \leq \text{wages} < 860
\][/tex]
2. Find the corresponding row: The row with the range 840 to 860 covers the \[tex]$841 wages.
3. Locate the appropriate withholding allowances column: We need to find the column for 5 withholding allowances.
4. Read the amount of income tax withheld: In the intersection of the row for the wage range 840 to 860 and the column for 5 withholding allowances, the table shows:
\[
\text{The amount of income tax withheld is } \$[/tex]26.
\]
Hence, for a single person with 5 withholding allowances and a biweekly wage of [tex]$841, the amount of federal income tax withheld is $[/tex]\[tex]$26$[/tex]. Therefore, the correct answer is not among the given options. The correct answer should be [tex]$\$[/tex]26$.
