Tiffany is unmarried and has a 15-year-old qualifying child. Tiffany has determined her tax liability to be $3,525, and her employer has withheld $1,500 of federal taxes from her paycheck. Tiffany is allowed to claim a $2,000 child tax credit for her qualifying child. What amount of taxes will Tiffany owe (or what amount will she receive as a refund) when she files her tax return?

$25

Explanation:

Premise 1: the $1,500 withheld by the employer qualifies as a prepayment because it will be remitted to the government

Premise 2: Since Tiffany is not married, she is allowed the $2000 child tax credit for her qualifying child.

4.                     Withheld By Employer in tax prepayment     ($1,500)

                       Tiffany's tax due with returns                               $25
