Answer 1

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

You can deduct the disability insurance in order to calculate the self employed health insurance deduction

Health insurance deductions will include health insurance for her family, dental insurance and health insurance for her 23-year-old daughter.

Deductions  = $8,000 + $2,500 + $4,000

Deductions = $14,500
