Answer:
$2,014
Explanation:
Alain's net investment income tax is the lesser of 1) his net investment income ($53,000) or 2) his modified adjusted gross income less the threshold of $200,000 .
Therefore
$304,000 - $200,000 = $104,000
3.8%×$104,000= $3,952
($53,000 × 3.8% )= $2,014
The additional tax that alain will pay on his net investment income for the year is $2,014
