Please advise, thank you.

#1;Correct even if you can deduct only $2,400 on your Sch C of 1040 on line 30, yes your book still shows that you deducted $11K as misc expenses as u said(as you recorded $11K as misc exp on your book).so difference is $8,600 since actually only $2400 is deductible on your return.
#2;it is OK unless you deduct the whole of $11K on your return in this case, you can deduct totally $13,400;$11K+$2,400
