Question

Felix, a single taxpayer, claimed $180 of state tax as an itemized deduction on his 2018 tax return. The total itemized deductions on his tax return were $12,025. In 2019, he received a $25 refund from the state. What is the amount Felix must to report on his 2019 tax return

Answer 1

Answer: $0

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking for what Felix must record in his 2019 tax return yet the itemized deductions given were for the year 2018 including the refund he received in 2019 as this was related to 2018 as well.

From those figures therefore, he need not include any of those deductions or refund as income in 2019 as they relate to a previous year.
