    Answer: d.$1,800 - $1,150 = $650

    Explanation:

    In 2019, the IRS listed that a Dependent who is claimed by another tax payer (Tony's Grandmother) can have a tax deduction of $1,100, or their earned income plus $350 depending on which is higher.

    Tony's earned income is $800 from his part-time job so his deduction is $1,150 (800 + 350) as this is higher than $1,150.

    His tax is therefore,

    = Unearned Income + Earned Income - Deduction

    = 1,000 + 800 - 1,150

    = 1,800 - 1,150

    = $650
