Guest guest Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 The easiest way is to hand it off to an accountant or tax preparer! Make sure you have all your receipts and a mileage log detailing how many miles were driven on each specific day for treatment. --- In Plagiocephaly , " babykkjr " <dl.lanceleve@...> wrote: > > Can someone help me with how I deduct all the expenses with my son? > Whats the easiest way? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Louise, This is one of those years when you should have someone do it for you. Hewitt has done fine by us for the last two years and they are not too expensive. The reason I say that is that the medical deductions have changed mid year during 2005 so you have to know how much was before a certain month and how much was after for travel, medical costs,scripts,etc... You can declare travel to and from the doctors. The out of pocket expenses of all medical and any prescriptions. Hope that helps.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Carol: I knew we were looking at a medical deduction when we prepared our taxes next year. Our son is getting his band tomorrow and we have already been told (repeatedly. . sigh) that we will most likely need a second band. My question is this--I want to start documenting our mileage if that is going to be deductible. Did you just keep some kind of log? CT is only a 60 mile round trip from us, but that is going to add up over the course of one or two bands. Thanks -- Stacey > > > > Can someone help me with how I deduct all the expenses with my son? > > Whats the easiest way? > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 I just kept a notebook in the car and wrote down the mileage. I got one with the little pocket in the front for gas reciepts too, but it turned out I didn't need them,lol.
