Married taxpayers Otto and Ruth are both self-employed and file a joint return. Otto earns $352,000 of self-employment income and Ruth has a self-employment loss of $13,500. How much 0.9 percent Medicare tax for high income taxpayers will Otto and Ruth have to pay with their 2019 income tax return?

Answer :

Adematae

Answer:

$795.5

Explanation:

To calculate how much 0.9% income they have to pay, the law says anybody that earns above 250000 as married couple is entitled to pay above 0.9%, so for them we will subtract the 250000 from it and also Ruth loss of 13,500

So we have;

(3520000-13500-250000)*0.9%=

$796.5
