The standard deduction for a single filer is $5,700. How does the standard deduction compare to Chris’s deductions? a. Chris’s deductions are $1,437 better than the standard deduction. b. Chris’s deductions are $4,087 better than the standard deduction. c. The standard deduction is $1,613 better than Chris’s deductions. d. The standard deduction is $664 better than Chris’s deductions.

Answer 1

The correct answer choice will be:   c.  The standard deduction is $1,613 better than Chris’s deductions.

Explanation

Claim from property taxes = $ 1,813

Claim from medical expenses = $ 1,513

Claim from state income tax = $ 761

So, the total amount as per Chris's deduction will be: $(\ 1,813+\ 1,513+\ 761)= \ 4,087$

Given that, the standard deduction for a single filer is $5,700

Here we can see that,  $\ 5,700 > \ 4,087$  and  $\ 5,700-\ 4,087 = \ 1,613$

That means, the standard deduction is $1,613 better than Chris’s deductions.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer choice will be: c. The standard deduction is $1,613 better than Chris’s deductions.

Explanation

Claim from property taxes = $ 1,813

Claim from medical expenses = $ 1,513

Claim from state income tax = $ 761

So, the total amount as per Chris's deduction will be: (\$1,813+\$1,513+\$761)= \$4,087($1,813+$1,513+$761)=$4,087

Given that, the standard deduction for a single filer is $5,700

Here we can see that, \$5,700 > \$4,087$5,700>$4,087 and \$5,700-\$4,087 = \$1,613$5,700−$4,087=$1,613

That means, the standard deduction is $1,613 better than Chris’s deductions.
