how much tax would i owe the irs if i live in new york city and live only on intrest and make 20000 a year?

Answer 1

Would need a lot more information for an accurate answer but assuming you're a single taxpayer and not claimed as a dependent by another taxpayer and take the standard deduction, your Federal income tax bill would be in the region of $1,296.25. You'd owe something to the State of NY as well.
