Question

Tim is a single, cash-method taxpayer with an AGI of $50,000. In April of this year, Tim paid $740 with his state income tax return for the previous year. During the year, Tim had $4,200 of state income tax and $15,300 of federal income tax withheld from his salary. In addition, Tim made estimated payments of $1,020 and $1,540 for state and federal income taxes, respectively. Finally, Tim expects to receive a refund of $380 for state income taxes when he files his state tax return for this year in April next year. What is the amount of taxes that Tim can deduct as an itemized deduction

Answer 1

Answer: $5960

Explanation:

Based on the analysis and the information provided in the question, the amount of taxes that Tim can deduct as an itemized deduction will be the addition of the Tim's state income tax return for the previous year, the state tax that was held during the year and the estimated state tax payment. This will be:

= $740 + $4200 + $1020

= $5960

Therefore, the amount of taxes that Tim can deduct as an itemized deduction will be $5960.
