a. randy received $2,200 of interest this year and no other investment income or expenses. his agi is $75,000.
interest deductible $

b. randy had no investment income this year, and his agi is $75,000.
interest deducttible $

A.- Randy can deduct $30,200  The interest on the loan of the car is nondeductible personal interest, but he can deduct all $28,000 on the home loan as an itemized deduction.   The $4,200 of margin interests is likely investment interest, and this itemized deduction is limited oto net investment income. $2,200 of interest income qualifies as investment income and he apparently has no other invesstment expenses, the investment interest expense would be limited to Randy´s $2,200 in net investment.

B. He may deduct all %28,000 of his interest on the home loan
