Carl’s business insurance costs $3,000 per year. Carl paid for and purchased a 12-month insurance policy on October 1, Year 1. On October 1, Year 2, Carl’s insurance increased to $3,300 per year. A building contract Carl was working on was delayed when they had to obtain additional permitting. Because cash flow was tight, Carl delayed renewing the insurance policy.

Carl is a cash-method taxpayer and took advantage of the 12-month rule in Year 1 for prepayments. What is Carl’s insurance expense deduction for Year 2?
