Angelena's taxable income is $51,400, with $10,000 as qualified dividends. For 2017, the tax on qualified dividends is 0% up to $37,950, 15% for income between $37,951 and $91,900 for head of household. The remaining $41,400 ($51,400 - $10,000) is taxed at ordinary rates. Calculating the tax on $41,400 using the 2017 tax brackets for head of household and adding the tax on the qualified dividends gives a total tax liability of $5,633.
