\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|l|}
\hline Rate & \multicolumn{1}{c|}{ Single } & Married Filling Jointly & Married Filing Separately & Head of Household \\
\hline \( 10 \% \) & \( \$ 0-\$ 9,075 \) & \( \$ 0-\$ 18,150 \) & \( \$ 0-\$ 9,075 \) & \( \$ 0-\$ 12,950 \) \\
\hline \( 15 \% \) & \( \$ 9,075-\$ 36,900 \) & \( \$ 18,150-\$ 73,800 \) & \( \$ 9,075-\$ 36,900 \) & \( \$ 12,950-\$ 49,400 \) \\
\hline \( 25 \% \) & \( \$ 36,900-\$ 89,350 \) & \( \$ 73,800-\$ 148,850 \) & \( \$ 36,900-\$ 74,425 \) & \( \$ 49,400-\$ 127,550 \) \\
\hline \( 28 \% \) & \( \$ 89,350-\$ 186,350 \) & \( \$ 148,850-\$ 226,850 \) & \( \$ 74,425-\$ 113,425 \) & \( \$ 127,550-\$ 206,600 \) \\
\hline \( 33 \% \) & \( \$ 186,350-\$ 405,100 \) & \( \$ 226,850-\$ 405,100 \) & \( \$ 113,425-\$ 202,550 \) & \( \$ 206,600-\$ 405,100 \) \\
\hline \( 35 \% \) & \( \$ 405,100-\$ 406,750 \) & \( \$ 405,100-\$ 457,600 \) & \( \$ 202,550-\$ 228,800 \) & \( \$ 405,100-\$ 432,200 \) \\
\hline \( 39.6 \% \) & Over \( \$ 406,750 \) & Over \( \$ 457,600 \) & Over \( \$ 228,800 \) & Over \( \$ 432,200 \) \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
Each row shows the tax rate on a specific portion of the taxpayer's taxable income given their filing status. For example, suppose a taxpayer has a filing status of Single and a taxable income of \( \$ 40,000 \). This means that the taxpayer owes \( 10 \% \) tax on the first \( \$ 9,075,15 \% \) tax on the amount over \( \$ 9,075 \) up to \( \$ 36,900 \), and \( 25 \% \) on the amount over \( \$ 36,900 \) up to \( \$ 40,000 \).
If Josh had a filing status of Sipgle and a taxable income of \( \$ 159,768 \) in the year 2014, how much did he owe for federal income tax? Do not round any intermediate computations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. \$[]](https://d3hlidq5bf9vg0.cloudfront.net/app-server-student/2022/2/3/9e01690d-3e76-4945-8318-5201021bf58c.png "This table shows the U.S. federal income tax rates from 2014.
