The answer is $1475.
Explanation:
The AGI is = $55,000
Medical expenses amount = $5600
If medical expenses are deductible to the extent that they exceed 7.5% or 0.075 of a taxpayer’s AGI, means [tex]55000\times0.075=4125[/tex]
Now the deductible amount is [tex]5600-4125=1475[/tex]
Hence, Benton can deduct $1475 for medical expenses.
