Javier owes money to the federal government based on his earnings.

Explanation:

Direct taxes are levied directly on the income of an individual or a business. Javier pays income tax on his earnings which is classified as a direct tax. Other examples of direct taxes include corporate tax and property tax.

All other options are examples of indirect tax as they are being levied on goods and services. Such taxes are usually included in the price. For e. g. General sales tax and value added tax.
