Jim had a car accident in 2019 in which his car was completely destroyed. At the time of the accident, the car had an adjusted basis of $40,000. Jim used the car 100% of the time for business use. He received an insurance recovery of 70% of the value of the car at the time of the accident. If Jim’s AGI for the year is $60,000, determine Jim's deductible loss on the car.

Respuesta :

Answer:

the deductible loss on the car is $12,000

Explanation:

The computation of the Jim deductible loss on the car is shown below:

Given that

Car value = $40,000

Insurance recovery = 70%

Now the deductible loss is

= Car value - (car value × insurance recovery)

= $40,000 - ($40,000 × 70%)

= $40,000 - $28,000

= $12,000

hence, the deductible loss on the car is $12,000
