Answer:

$76,850

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we calculate LAA inc modified taxable income, which includes all the figures given in the question except the net operating loss carryover from year 0.

Modified taxable income = $572,000 + $132,000 + $64,500

= $768,500

Charitable deductions for year 1 is limited to 1% of the taxable income above:

$768,500 x 10% = $76,850

The $85,150 remaning from the charitable donation ( $132,000 - $76,850 = $85,150) will be carried over the next five years at most.
