_________Andy's AGI is $45,000 and he has no other employee business expenses. What is the amount that he would report on line 10 of form 2106 relating to these expenses?
Explanation / Answer
I believe your work should go like this: Meal is not included in the form. 1225 was the total expense since 1200 was reimbursed 750 + 475 = 1225 goes in line 3 of form 2106 Line 4 should have the 1200 business expense Line 6 will have a balance of 2425 expense While line 7 should have 1200 Line 8 then drops to 1225 We gather that and multiply by 50% allowed Giving the answer to line 10 == 612.50
