Answer:

$1,500

Explanation:

On the current slab of income being $26,350

Her tax shall be as follows:

$0 - $9225 = 10% = $922.50

From $9225 - $26350 = 15% = $2568.75

Thus, current tax rounded off = $3,491.25

Revised income = $26,350 + $10,000 = $36,350

Revised Tax shall be:

$0 - $9225 = 10% = $922.50

$36,350 - $9,225 = 15% = $4,068.75

Thus, total tax shall be = $4,991.25

Increment in tax because of additional part time income = $4,991.25 - $3,491.25 = $1,500
