    a. The taxpayer deducts $80,000 in the current year and carries over $60,000 to the next year.

    Explanation:

    AGI $160,000;

    Tax charged for the current year according to IRS on property = 50%

    50% of 160,000 = $80,000

    Donation worth = 140,000

    Carried next year = 140,000-80,000 = $60,000
