Explanation:

given data

as here qualified plan is an employer sponsored retirement plan that qualifies for special tax treatment under Section 401 (a) of Internal Revenue Code

and tax for 25 % will be here as

Tax 25% = $65,000 * 25%

Net available = $65,000 - $16,250 - $6500

Net available = $42250

so Jacque Solis will have $42250 left after paying taxes and penalties
