(Round your answer to two decimal places.) thousand If this taxpayer claimed itemized deductions of $20,800, would the IRS agent's request for an audit appear justified? Explain. Since the predicted amount of itemized deductions is significantly less than the actual claimed itemized deductions, the agent's request for an audit appears to be justified. Since the predicted amount of itemized deductions is significantly greater than the actual claimed itemized deductions, the agent's request for an audit appears to be justified. Since the predicted amount of itemized deductions is significantly greater than the actual claimed itemized deductions, the agent's request for an audit does not appear to be justified. O Since the predicted amount of itemized deductions is roughly the same as the actual claimed itemized deductions, the agent's request for an audit does not appear to be justified. Since the predicted amount of itemized deductions is roughly the same as the actual claimed itemized deductions, the agent's request for an audit appears to be justified.
