The answer to the following question is $403

Explanation:

The taxable income of Jasmine is - $2,050 ($3,000 minus $950 SD (standard deduction)). Her exact unearned income is - $1,100 ($3,000 gross income which is unearned minus $1,900). This is taxed at 28 % ($308 tax). The remaining $950 of her taxable income ($2, 050 minus $1, 100 taxed at parents ' rate) is taxed at 10 % ($95 tax). Total tax is $403 ($308 - 95).
