Answer #1

Answer:

As per IRS, if replacement amount is less than $ 3,000, then she will not be able to deduct on schedule A, line 16.

If the amount is more than $ 3,000 then there is an option of taking a tax credit or take itemized deduction on schedule A,line 16,under IRC Section 1341 for the year of repayments. It is standardized.

Therefore, Myra will not be able to deduct the replacement on her tax return.
