The 10% of $19,050 is $1905.
The remaining tax is $7419-$1905=$5514
That was 12% of income over $19050 or $5514/0.12=$45950
The total income is the sum of the first $19050 and the remaining $45950=$65,000

Let +x+ = taxable dollars over $19,050
+.1%2A19050+=+1905+
+1905+%2B+.12x+=+7419+
+.12x+=+5514+
+x+=+45950+
The taxable income is:
+19050+%2B+45950+=+65000+
$65,000
