To determine Dee's exact tax payment based on her taxable income of \[tex]$95,850 and her Single filing status, we must refer to the specific row within the provided tax table that matches her income range.
First, we examine the specified ranges and tax values within the table to find where Dee's taxable income fits:
For an income of at least \$[/tex]95,800 but less than \[tex]$95,850, the tax is \$[/tex]20,551.
For an income of at least \[tex]$95,850 but less than \$[/tex]95,900, the tax is \[tex]$20,565.
Since Dee's taxable income is exactly \$[/tex]95,850, we look at the matching "Single" tax amount.
Based on the table:
- Dee's taxable income of \[tex]$95,850 fits into the range of \$[/tex]95,850 to \[tex]$95,900.
- The corresponding tax amount for this range under the Single category is \$[/tex]20,565.
Thus, the tax Dee has to pay if she files as Single is \$20,565.
