Wright Company's cash account shows a $27,700 debit balance and its bank statement shows $26,000 on deposit at the close of busi
ness on May 31. The May 31 bank statement lists $110 in bank service charges; the company has not yet recorded the cost of these services. Outstanding checks as of May 31 total $5,700. May 31 cash receipts of $6,300 were placed in the bank’s night depository after banking hours and were not recorded on the May 31 bank statement. In reviewing the bank statement, a $410 check written by Smith Company was mistakenly drawn against Wright’s account. The bank statement shows a $580 NSF check from a customer; the company has not yet recorded this NSF check. Prepare its bank reconciliation using the above information.
For computational purposes, both the Mortgage interest as well as the miscellaneous itemized deducted qualify as deductions based on the Schedule A which is the regular tax purposes.
However, only Mortgage interest will be allowable itemized deduction because miscellaneous itemized deductions fall under the category of adjustments and as such do not qualify for deductions under the AMT which is the Alternative Minimum Taxable Income.
Based on the explanation, only $11,000 of mortgage interest qualifies.
