Calculate Linda's allowable itemized deductions for the year:
Explanation:
1.
The local and state tax (SALT) deduction was capped at $10,000 under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
(TCJA) of 2017. This means that taxpayers who itemize their deductions on their federal income
tax returns can only deduct up to $10,000 in state and local income, sales, and property taxes
combined.
2.
Prior to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017, taxpayers who itemized their deductions on
their federal income tax returns could deduct certain unreimbursed employee expenses, such as
job-related travel, education, and equipment, subject to certain limitations. However, under the
TCJA, the deduction for unreimbursed employee expenses is no longer available for tax years
2018 through 2025.
3.
Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017, for tax years 2019 and 2020, taxpayers could
deduct medical expenses that exceeded 7.5% of their adjusted gross income (AGI). In order
words, any amount of medical expenses met beyond the limit can be claimed as deduction.
4.
Under the TCJA, for tax years 2018 through 2025, the deduction for casualty losses is limited to
losses that are attributable to a federally declared disaster. In other words, taxpayers can only
deduct casualty losses that occur in a designated disaster area and that are not reimbursed by
insurance or other means.

Since the SUTA rates change at the end of each year, the available 2023 rates were used for FUTA
and SUTA.
Note: For this textbook edition the rate 0.6% was used for the net FUTA tax rate for
employers.
Example 5-6
Park Company has a $70,000 federal and state taxable payroll and has earned a reduced state tax rate
timely, the FUTA tax calculation is as follows:
Gross FUTA tax ($70,000 x 0.060)
Less 90% credit for state taxes paid late ($70,000 x 0.04 x 90%)
$2,520
Less additional credit for state tax if rate were 5.4% [$70,000 x (0.054 - 0.04)]

For many years preceding 2018, Minimis Corporation, a calendar year corporation, had incurred the alternative minimum tax (AMT) and as a result had a $2 million minimum tax carryover into 2018. However, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 repealed the corporate AMT for tax years beginning after 2017. Minimis expects its regular tax liability to be $100,000 per year for 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021. Your supervisor has asked you to determine how Minimis treats the minimum tax credit carryover in these four years now that the corporate AMT has been repealed. Your supervisor has suggested that you start by looking at IRC Sec. 53.

Warranty payments are expected to be in equal amounts over the next three years (2022–2024) and will be tax deductible at that time. Recent tax legislation will change the tax rate from the current 25% to 20% in 2023.
