b. $52,514.51. The $2,173.93 in student loan interest deductions, $2,824 to his favorite charities, and $3,117.56 in home mortgage interest are all tax deductible. However, only $7,300 is exempted from his taxes from the $11,400 they claimed for. Subtracting all this from $67,930, we get $52,514.51.
