    D) Only $7,000 of the office expenses can be deducted; the remaining $1,000 can be carried forward to future tax years.

    Explanation:

    Since Gene's profit before home expenses is only $7,000, he can only deduct up to $7,000 for this year. That way his net profit will be $0. The remaining $1,000 must be carried forward so that he can use them in the future, probably next year he will add them to his deductions. If a business losses money, the government pay you anything, taxes only work one way, you have to pay.
