A taxoayer eho claims the standard dduction rather than itemizing may still be eligable to claim all of the following adjustments to income Except
Educator Expenses
Health Savings Account
Medical expense deduction
Student loan interest
Requirement 1 (Question 1):-
The correct answer to the question is Option B - Health Savings account. Contributions to an Health Savings Account (HSA) are deductible as an adjustment to Income. We generally dont deduct the amount contributed to Health Savings Account as an Itemized deduction but rather this is shown as an adjustment to income.
Option A - Educator expenses are a valid form of Itemized deduction and hence is not the correct answer
Option C - Medical expense in excess of 7.5% of AGI are allowed to be deducted as an Itemized Deduction and hence is a valid form of deduction.
Option D is incorrect as Student Loan interest is an itemized deduction.
