Part 3-Letter and Excel Calculation:

Create a 1-2 page letter to the Powell's explaining their medical expenses' deductibility by providing them a spreadsheet in Excel to calculate Denises medical expense deduction. Use the formula for calculating a taxpayers medical expense deduction presented in your textbook in learning object 5.6 as a guide. Use the AGI you calculated for the couple in week 2 in your calculation. Make sure to properly label each medical expense and provide an explanation for any medical expenses that are nondeductible in the letter. Embed your spreadsheet into the letter.
