What are tax deductible expenses?

Answer by  patti (29325)

Usually work-required expenses are deductible (uniforms, required education, etc). The best course is to speak to a tax professional who can advise you on specific opportunities for deductions.

Deductible expenses are identified on Schedule A of the 1040. They include medical and dental expenses (including medical insurance and prescription drugs), property tax, mortgage interest on your home, donations to recognized charities (receipts needed), necessary job expenses, and casualty losses not covered by insurance. You can get tax credits for child care expenses and specific energy savings expenses.
