Answer:

C) Work-related expenses are not subject to the 2%-of-AGI floor.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 2%-of-AGI floor refers to an IRS rule by which employees can deduct itemized deductions that exceed 2% of their adjusted gross income. For example, your AGI = $70,000, then you can only itemize deductions that exceed $1,400.

On the other hand independent contractors are not subject to this rule.
