Using the new tax rate provided in the chart below, calculate how much taxes a single/unmarried individual who earns $75,000 would pay. Keep in mind that you only get taxed on your "taxable income" not on the total/gross amount of income you have earned. The standard deduction for a single filer went up from $6,350 to $12,000 in 2018, so you will deduct this amount from the gross income, and then calculate the taxes you owed on the remaining income.
