In 2023, Theresa was in an automobile accident and suffered physical injuries. The accident was caused by Ramon's
negligence. In 2024, Theresa collected from his insurance company. She received $15,000 for loss of income,

on her 2023 tax return (the amount in excess of 7.5% of adjusted gross income). This increased her itemized
