Answer:
Jolanta
The amount of itemized deductions allowed on her federal tax return for 2018:
= $5,600
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Jolanta's earnings = $80,000
Other income or expenses:
Qualified dividend income $8,000
Credit card interest $ 250
Qualified mortgage interest $5600
Unreimbursed employee medical expenses $12,000
Itemized Deductions:
Qualified mortgage interest $5600
b) The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act eliminated the deduction for unreimbursed employee expenses for the tax year 2018 to 2025. Â This means that Jolanta cannot include the unreimbursed employee medical expenses of $12,000 in her itemized deductions. Â Credit card interest is not an allowed item under itemized deductions as the tax law classifies it as a personal interest.
