C. $1,500
D. $1,575

i think its D

correct. over the counter meds are not deductible, nor is health club mememberships (except very narrow circumstances, has to be medical treatment related, not fitness).

To calculate the total amount of medical expenses that would enter into the itemized deduction on Shakira's 2011 income tax return, we need to add up the expenses related to medical expenses.

The medical expenses that would qualify for the itemized deduction include prescription medicines, doctors and dentists, vitamins and ibuprofen, and the health club membership fee.

Adding up these expenses:
$525 (prescription medicines) +
$1050 (doctors and dentists) +
$275 (vitamins and ibuprofen) +
$450 (health club membership fee) =

$1,300

Therefore, the total amount of medical expenses (before application of adjusted gross income limitation) that would enter into the itemized deduction on Shakira's 2011 income tax return is $1,300.

Therefore, the correct answer is B. $1,325.
