Answer:
$2,300
Explanation:
Assuming that the requirements for qualified plan awards are otherwise satisfied, each award by itself would be excluded from income.
The excludable amount or deduction is $1,600 out of total amount of awards.
Total amount of awards = Design + Graphic + Employee of the year
= $1,340 + $1,775 + $785
= $3,900
Taxable awards = Total amount of awards – Excludable amount
= $3,900 – $1,600
= $2,300
However, because the $3,900 total value of the awards is more than $1,600, Keren must include $2,300 in his taxable income.
