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.
