Remsco's current-year charitable contribution deduction is $7,250

Contribution carryover is $ 290

Explanation:

Taxable income = $61,000

Charitable contribution limit modified taxable income = $72,500

Charitable contributions for the year = $7,540

Since, charitable contribution deduction is limited to 10% of charitable contribution limit modified taxable income,

Remsco's current-year charitable contribution deduction = $72,500 x 10%

= $7,250

Therefore, contribution carryover = $7,540 - $7,250 = $ 290
