Question
Jenny, single, age 42, earns $50,000 working in 2022. She has no other income. Her medical expenses for the year total
$5,000. During the year, she suffered a nonbusiness casualty loss of $7,500 when her apartment is damaged by flood
waters (part of a Federally declared disaster area). Jenny contributed $10,000 to her church. She is trying to decide
whether to contribute $1,000 to a traditional IRA. Fill in the table below to see if the IRA contribution reduces taxable
income. Don't forget to apply the floors to the medical expenses. The deductible casualty loss has been calculated for
you. We will look at personal (nonbusiness) casualty losses in another chapter; note that the nonbusiness casualty loss
calculation involves 2 floors.
