Answer:

$6,600

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to determine the itemized deduction that John may claim for taxes on his return

Real estate taxes $3,200

Add State income tax $3,400

Itemized deduction $6,600

($3,200+$3,400)

Therefore the itemized deduction that John may claim for taxes on his return is $6,600
