The gross income is $85,463

Here are the deduction before tax is applied:

$896 - income

$2,145 - charitable donations

$3,473 - medical expenses

2 x $3,650 - exemptions

Adding all the deductions:

$896 + $2,145 + $3,473 + 2 x $3,650 = $13,814

Subtracting this from the gross income:

$85,463 - $13,814 = $66,129
