I’m leaning towards C) $4,000. The formula for taxable benefits is confusing!

I feel like I might be mixing up the thresholds for single vs. joint filers. Is it $32,000 for joint? That could affect the calculation.

This question seems similar to one we practiced where we had to determine the taxable portion based on income levels. I think the answer might be around $4,500.

I think we need to calculate the provisional income first, but I can't recall the exact formula.

I remember something about the base amount for social security benefits, but I'm not sure how to apply it here.
