Mora · Answer 1

The amount of taxes that Tim can deduct as an itemized deduction is $7,340

Explanation:

The computation of the itemized deduction is shown below:

= State income tax for the previous year + state income tax from his salary + estimated payments of state income tax

= $1,100 + $5,050 + $1,190

= $7,340

The other item values which are mentioned in the question are not considered and not affect the deductions for current year So, we do not take in the computation part. Hence, ignored it
