Explanation / Answer

In year 1

taxable income = 145000+25000 =170000

Tax = 170000*10% =17000

Allowable deduction = 17000

Carried forward amount in year 2= 35000-17000=18000

Part A

amount of Citradoria’s allowable deduction for charitable contributions for Year 2 = 150000*10% = 15000

Part B

If there is any carryover of the charitable contribution deduction from Year 2, it will expire in year 7 (it will be carried forward for 5 years)
