Chapter 6 discusses expenditures of individuals that are deductible for adjusted gross income (e.g., alimony) and explains the advantage of having an expenditure classified as a deduction for adjusted gross income. Chapter 8 discusses expenditures that are deductible from adjusted gross income (e.g., medical expenses).
Select an example of each type of deduction (i.e., for and from) and present an argument as to why that deduction is incorrectly classified. That is, why the expenditure that is a deduction for adjusted gross income should be reclassified as a deduction from adjusted gross income, and why the expenditure that is a deduction from adjusted gross income should be reclassified as a deduction for adjusted gross income.
