Answer #1

a. Computation of Adjusted Gross Income

Salary $2,00,000

Casualty loss on business property ($15,000)

Rental income received $20,000

Net capital loss from stock transactions ($5,000)

Alimony paid to Alexa’s ex ($12,000)

Personal casualty losses ($27,000)

Personal casualty gains $3,000

Adjusted Gross Income $1,64,000

b.Computation of net deductible personal casualty loss

Net casualty loss from these qualified disasters doesn't need to exceed 10% of your adjusted gross income to qualify for the deduction

That is,

  Net deductible personal casualty loss = $1,64,000*0.10

= $16,400
