Answer 1

The correct answer option is A. 760.

Explanation:

We know that Henrietta is itemizing deductions on her federal income tax return and had $2200 in non-reimbursed work expenses last year.

We are to find how much can he deduct for non-reimbursed work expenses if her AGI was $72,000, and if non-reimbursed work expenses are deductible to the extent that they exceed 2% of a taxpayer's AGI.

Non-reimbursed work expenses is 2% of a taxpayer's AGI.

`=72000*2\%`

`=78000*(2)/(100) =` $1440

Henrietta deduct for non-reimbursed work expenses = $2200-$1440 = $760
