Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The maximum allowable deduction for cash contributions to qualified public charities is limited to 60% of the taxpayer's adjusted gross income (AGI). Therefore, Beth's maximum allowable deduction for the current year would be 60% of $90,000, which is $54,000. However, she must also subtract any other charitable contributions subject to different limitations, such as contributions of appreciated property or contributions to private foundations. As we don't have this information, the lowest possible correct answer is C, which is the closest to $54,000 without going over it.
