Royce, a California resident receives $20,000 from a rental building in Arkansas. Royce only reports the $20,000 to Arkansas and pays $2,000 net income tax to Arkansas. Since Royce is a California resident, California also taxes the $20,000, but gives him a tax credit for what amount for the tax he paid to Arkansas

Respuesta :

Answer:

$2,000

Explanation:

The state of California will grant its citizens a tax credit equal to the amount of taxes paid in other states when computing income received outside its borders. This same logic is applied by the federal government when someone earns income in foreign countries and pays taxes to a foreign government. Taxes paid to other governments decrease the amount of taxes that you pay to your own government.
