Thanx

Answer 1

Assumed in this case assumed authorised retirement fund is Individual retirement arrangements (IRA)

Only employee contribution allowed to take as deduction in IRA. And also there are limits to claim the same. If the person is single, Then limits as follows: If Modified AGI is

" $63,000 or less -a full deduction up to the amount of your contribution limit.

Morethan $63,000 but less than $73,000- Partial deduction

Morethan $ 73,000-No deduction."

In this case AGI = SR100,000-SR50,000(employee contribution)=SR50,000,In this case AGI and Modified AGI is same since there are no related adjustments , which is less than $63,000 so full amount will be allowed as deduction.

AGI calculates as Total income minus adjustments like contribution to IRA,alimony paid etc.

I hope this will help you.
