Explanation / Answer

The maximum amount one can claim for all of your state and local taxes is restricted to $ 10000.

Actual state and local taxes = 5000 +4000 = 9000

Amount that can be claim for state and local taxes =lower of 9000 or 10000 = $ 9000

Maximum amount that can be claimed for itemized deduction = 9000+3500+7000= 19500
