How much withheld  to the Colorado Department of Revenue Income Tax
solution
we know that when any seller out of state address then state direct close  withholding = 2 percentage of net proceeds or  purchase price
which is less we take that and here 2% is
2 percentage of sold price = 2% of $489,000
2 percentage of sold price = $9780
so we can say $9780 amount is higher than proceeds amount = Â $5,500
so we take here lesser amount i.e. $5,500 as withheld potential tax liability
so correct option is b.$5500
