Jasmine started a new business in the current year. she incurred $18,000 of start-up costs. how much of the start-up costs can be immediately deducted (excluding amounts amortized over 180 months) for the year?

$5,000

Explanation:

According to the Internal Revenue Service, the amount of deduction for startup costs would be limited to $5,000 if the startup costs are $50,000 or less

However, if the start-up costs were more than $50,000, the deduction would be decreased by the dollar amount.

Since in the given scenario, the $18,000 is the startup cost so she is eligible for the deduction of $5,000

its high unemployment figures
