Janelle Adams · Answer 1

correct answer is b) $75,000

Explanation:

given data

wage income = $75,000

short term capital loss = $5,000

short term capital gain = $2,000

long term capital gain = $3,000

solution

we get here net short capital loss that is

net short capital loss = short term capital loss - short term capital gain

net short capital loss = $5,000 - $2,000

net short capital loss = $3,000

and leaves him with as = long term capital gain - net short capital loss

= $3,000 - $3,000 = $0

so here AGI for 2019 is $75,000

so correct answer is b) $75,000
