Answer #1

Jill's student loan interest is deductible for AGI this year

D. $2,500

Explanation:-

AGI= 69000+8500-3000= 74,500

MAGI= 74,500+3000= 77,500

Taxpayers who file as single are entitled to a full deduction if their modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) is $65,000 or less, and a partial deduction if their MAGI is over $65,000 but less than $80,000. Anyone with a MAGI over $80,000 can't claim a deduction.

3,000 x (77,500-65,000) / (80,000-65,000)= 2,500
