Answer:

$1,500

Explanation:

Investment interest expenses = Interest Income + Non qualifying dividends

Investment interest expenses = $500 + $1,000

Investment interest expenses = $1,500  

$1,500 < $2,500 (Investment interest expenses)

The long term capital gains are not considered in investment income because this income is taxed at a preferential rate.  Hence, the Investment interest expenses deduction for the year is $1,500.
