Taxable income is $16600 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Nick and Nora are married and have three children in college.

They have an adjusted gross income of $47,400.

If their standard deduction is $12,600 itemized deductions are $14,200 and they get an exemption of $4000 for each adult and each dependent .

Total exemption amount = Total number of adult and each dependent × Amount of exemption .

                                          = 5 × 4000

                                          = $ 20000

Thus

Taxable income = Adjusted gross income - Standard deduction - Itemized deductions - Total exemption amount

                           = $47400 - $12600 - $ 14200 - $4000

                           = $ 47400 - $ 30800

                           = $ 16600

Therefore the taxable income is $16600 .
