To determine Sawyer's tax based on his taxable income and his filing status, we need to examine the tax table.

Sawyer's taxable income is \$59,850, and he is filing with the "Single" status. We need to find the correct tax bracket that his income falls into:

1. First, look at the range within the tax table where the taxable income fits.
2. Sawyer's taxable income is \$59,850.

Now, let's find the range that includes \$59,850 in the "Single" column:
- The tax table provided states that for taxable incomes between \[tex]$59,800 and \$[/tex]59,900, the tax amounts are:
\begin{itemize}
\item From \[tex]$59,800 to \$[/tex]59,850, the tax is \$11,144.
\item From \[tex]$59,850 to \$[/tex]59,900, the tax is \$11,156.
\end{itemize}

Since Sawyer's taxable income is exactly \[tex]$59,850, he falls into the second range (\$[/tex]59,850 to \$59,900).

The corresponding tax amount for an income of \[tex]$59,850 with the "Single" status is \$[/tex]11,156.

Therefore, Sawyer has to pay \$11,156 in taxes.

The answer is:
[tex]\[ \boxed{11156} \][/tex]
