  1. Ignore your answer in b). Assume that the amount of itemized deduction available is $7,500. Using the 2020 standard deduction amounts (assuming no additional amounts for age or blindness) from Appendix D in your book, first determine whether Stacie and Ryan itemize or take the standard deduction. If you determine they itemize, write in the itemized deduction dollar amount given ($7,500).
