    The salaries and expenses of the beauty parlor are deductible on Schedule C as business expenses and the depreciation and real estate taxes for the apartment building are deductible for AGI as rental or royalty related deductions. Interest income is included in AGI and the alimony expense is deductible for AGI.

    Note: Assumed that the apartment building amounts represent Betty's interest and not the total amount. Te residential real estate taxes and the charitable contributions are detailed below:

    Interest Income $ 11255

    Salon Revenue $ 86360

    Less: Salaries - $ 45250

    Supplies - $ 23400

    Operating income from Salon $ 17710

    Apartment building revenue $ 31220

    Less: Depreciation - $ 12900

    Taxes on apartment building - $ 11100

    Apartment building income $ 7220

    Less: Employer share of self employment taxes * - $ 1251

    Alimony Deduction - $ 6000

    AGI $ 28934

    * Betty will owe $ 2502 in self employment tax on her salon income ($ 17710 salon income * 92.35% * 15.3%)

    Of the $ 2502, ($ 17710 * 92.35% * 7.65%) = $ 1251 would be deductible as a for AGI deduction
