How this is worked out

6 steps
  1. Adjusted gross income = 85000 - 0 adjustments = 85000
  2. Less the standard deduction of 15750 gives taxable income 69250
  3. 10% on 11925 (from 0 to 11925) = 1192.5
  4. 12% on 36550 (from 11925 to 48475) = 4386
  5. 22% on 20775 (from 48475 to 103350) = 4570.5
  6. That puts the last dollar in the 22% bracket (taxable income $48,475 to $103,350).
