Item | For AGI | From AGI | ||
Mortgage Interest (5000 x 75%, 25%) | 3,750 | 1,250 | ||
Property taxes (2400 x 75%, 25%) | 1,800 | 600 | ||
Utilities (2000 x 75% | 1,500 | |||
Insurance (1000 x 75%) | 750 | |||
Depreciation (10500 x 75%, but limited to income available) | 6,200 | |||
Total Deductions | $ 14,000 | $ 1,850 | ||
Since income available after all expenses except depreciation is only 6200, and 75% of 10500 is 7875 | ||||
So depreciation should be limited to 6200 only. | ||||
Option C is correct |
