Expert Solution

Q-1	(a)
	With Roth IRAs, you don’t get a tax deduction when you make a contribution, so they don’t lower your adjusted gross income that year. But, as a result, your withdrawals in retirement are generally tax-free

Q-1	(b)
	Traditional IRA contributions are tax-deductible on both state and federal tax returns for the year you make the contribution. As a result, withdrawals—officially known as distributions—are taxed at your income tax rate when you make them, presumably in retirement.

Q-1	( c)
	You may be able to contribute to a Coverdell ESA to finance the beneficiary's qualified education expenses. Contributions must be made in cash, and they're not deductible.

Q-1	(d)
	Qualified Tuition Program or QTP, allows you to prepay a student's college tuition or contribute to an education savings account. Contributions are not tax-deductible on federal returns, but distributions will be tax-free if they are used to pay for qualified education expenses for the plan beneficiary

Q-2
(b) is correct
However expenses like property taxes,interest on mortgage of personal residence can be deductible
