Answer:

$532

Explanation:

The income that is considered for NIIT is the (a) lesser of the net investment income or (b) the amount by which MAGI exceeds the applicable threshold.

a. $42,000 ($26,200 interest income + $10,400 dividends + $5,400 Long-term capital gains)

b. $14,000 ($214,000 - $200,000)

Note: MAGI threshold of $200,000 for single taxpayer is applicable before they fall under the NIIT bracket of 3.8% of tax.

Net Investment Income = $14,000

Net investment income tax liability = Net Investment Income * 3.8%

Net investment income tax liability = $14,000 * 3.8%

Net investment income tax liability = $532

So, Allen's net investment income tax liability this year is $532.
