Explanation:

a. The amount of benefit that Grady include in his gross income = $0

Since, The sum of modified AGI plus 50% Social Security benefits he received (i.e. $12,100 + 250 + $8,200*50% = $16,450) is below the minimum amount ($25,000 or less for single taxpayers) for including Social Security benefits.

b. The amount of benefit that Grady include in his gross income = $850

Since, in this case Grady files single and his modified AGI plus 50% of his Social Security benefits (i.e. $22,000 + 600 + $4,100 = $26,700) falls between $25,000 and $34,000.

Thus, his taxable Social Security benefits = (a) $8,200*50%= $4,100 or 50%of [$26,700 - $25,000] Whichever is less

= (a) $4,100 or $850 whichever is less = $850

c. The amount of benefit that Grady include in his gross income = $6,970

Since, in this case he files married & jointly, he will include 85% of total Social Security benefits = $8,200*85% = $6,970 because his modified AGI is above the maximum amount of $44,000 for married filing jointly for including Social Security benefits.

d. The amount of benefit that Grady include in his gross income = $6,970

Since, here Grady files married jointly and his modified AGI + 50% of Social Security benefits (i.e. $44,000 + 700 + $4,100 = $48,800) are greater than $44,000.

Thus, taxable social security benefits = (a) 85% of 8,200 = $6,970 or (b) 85% of (48,800 - 44,000) = $4,080 + lesser of 6,000 or 4,100 whichever is less

= (a) $6,970 or (b) $4,080 + 4,100 = $8,180 whichever is less

= $6,970

e. The amount of benefit that Grady include in his gross income = $6,970

Since, here Grady files married & separately:

Thus, taxable social security benefits = (a) 85% of $8,200 = $6,970 or (b) 85% of ( $22,000 + 600 + $4,100 = $22,695 ,whichever is less

= $6,970
