Answer 1

You didn't give enough information to completely answer this question.

Based upon 2005's tax tables, your federal tax liability would be around $3,600 or roughly $70 per week. This assumes that you do not itemize your deductions and your dependants are your children. Otherwise, your tax liabilty would be about $5,600 or $108 a week.

I don't know what the income tax rate is in CA though.
