To calculate the estimated federal taxes for a taxable income of $81,600 based on the 2020 tax rates, we will apply a progressive tax calculation using the brackets shown in the image. The income falls into multiple tax brackets, so the calculation proceeds as follows:

### Tax Brackets from the Image:
1. **10%** for income up to $9,875.
2. **12%** for income between $9,876 and $40,125.
3. **22%** for income between $40,126 and $85,525.

Since $81,600 is below $85,525, we'll apply the 10%, 12%, and 22% rates for the respective income portions. Here's the breakdown:

1. **First $9,875** at 10%:  
   \[
   9,875 \times 0.10 = 987.50
   \]

2. **Next $30,250** (i.e., $40,125 - $9,875) at 12%:  
   \[
   (40,125 - 9,875) = 30,250
   \]
   \[
   30,250 \times 0.12 = 3,630.00
   \]

3. **Remaining $41,475** (i.e., $81,600 - $40,125) at 22%:  
   \[
   (81,600 - 40,125) = 41,475
   \]
   \[
   41,475 \times 0.22 = 9,124.50
   \]

### Total Tax Calculation:
\[
987.50 + 3,630.00 + 9,124.50 = 13,742.00
\]

### Estimated Federal Tax:
The estimated tax on a taxable income of $81,600 is **$13,742.00**.
