    Incomplete question. Here's the full question:

    Nancy paid the following taxes during the year:

    Tax on residence (for the period from March 1 through August 31) = $5,250

    State motor vehicle tax (based on the value of the personal use automobile) = $430

    State sales tax = $3,500

    State income tax = $3,050

    Nancy sold her personal residence on June 30 of this year under an agreement in which the real estate taxes were not prorated between the buyer and the seller. What amount qualifies as a deduction from AGI for Nancy? a. $9,180b. $9,130c. $7,382d. $5,382 e. None of the above

    Answer:

    c. $7,328

    Explanation:

    Remember, Nancy transferred ownership of her personal residence on June 30, but she received tax on residence for 2 extra months (July and August).

    The amount that qualifies for tax deduction therefore is;

    121 days (Four months of her stay) / 184 days (six months period) * $5,250

    +

    $430

    +

    $3,500] = $7,382.

    She likely deducts from the state sales tax with a higher amount than from the state income tax.
