    Chris, age 5, has $3,000 of interest income and no earned income this year. Assume that the current appli­cable standard deduction is $1,000. How much of Chris’s income will be taxed at Chris’s parents’ maximum tax rate?

    A.

    $0

    B.

    $1,000

    C.

    $2,000

    D.

    $3,000

    So I just had a question regarding this question. I thought the amount was suppose to be 2100 and not 2000. Obviously with an estimated guess you would pick B but I am just wondering since all of the material I had used (Wiley Book & Ninja Book/Notes) say amounts above 2100 are taxed at parents rate.
