    The amount of Thomas's 2019 charitable contribution deduction is $14,000

    Explanation:

    In order to calculate the amount of Thomas's 2019 charitable contribution deduction we would have to calculate the following:

    amount of Thomas's 2019 charitable contribution deduction = Cash contribution + [30% of adjusted gross income or actual property, whichever is lower]

    amount of Thomas's 2019 charitable contribution deduction = $5,000 + [ (30% * $30,000) or $20,000, whichever is lower]

    amount of Thomas's 2019 charitable contribution deduction = $5,000 [ $9,000 or $20,000]

    amount of Thomas's 2019 charitable contribution deduction = $5,000 + $9,000

    amount of Thomas's 2019 charitable contribution deduction = $14,000
