For 2008 can you can use the standard medical mileage rate of 19 cents a mile from January 1 to June 30. Use a rate of 27 cents a mile for miles driven from July 1 to December 31.

For 2009 the rate is 24 cents.

By adding the numbers up for each Friday that you used the vehicle only for your qualified medical transportation mileage from your log book or diary or what ever written records you have and you should be able to come up with the total medical mileage for the year.

Multiply the total mileage by the 24 cents and you should come up with the dollar amount that you need to use for that purpose.

You may deduct only the amount by which your total unreimbursed medical care expenses for the year exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. You do this calculation on Form 1040 Schedule A in computing the deductible amount that you can use as a part of your itemized deductions on the schedule A of the 1040 tax form.

Go to the IRS gov website and use the search box for Publication 502, Medical and Dental Expenses.

How much should you withold on your w4?

if you claim zero on your w4, they will take the most taxes out of you. If you have dependents and you add them on when you do your income taxes, you will get that money back. even if it is just you, you should claim zero instead of one, then at income tax time you will not have to pay in, you should get back what you overpaid instead. The more dependents you put on your w4, the less taxes they will take out of your check, but at income tax time, if they did not take out enough you will have to pay in. And like me, if you like a big, big check all at once you want to claim zero, its like a way of saving money, and you get the money back at income tax time to do something big with.

What is Dependency of a minor?

A dependant is someone who receives most of their support through another adult individual. Usually all minor children fall into this category. The qualifications to claim a person as a dependant vary according to circumstances but generally only one person can claim the minor as a dependant and that dependant can't be claimed if that person themselves claims to be independant. if you are doing taxes adn aren't sure of these terms, I suggest you consult an accountant.


Is there a smallest positive rational number?

1/infinity? * * * * * Nice idea but unfortunately that is not a rational number, which is defined as the ration of two integers, x/y where y > 0. Since infinity is not an integer, the suggested ratio is not a rational number. The correct answer is that there is no such number. If any number laid claim to being the smallest positive rational, then half of that number would have a better claim. And then a half of THAT number would be a positive rational that was smaller still. And so on.


What comes before 2?

It is not possible to answer the question because numbers are infinitely dense. You might think that 1.9 comes before 2 but 1.99 is nearer and so has a better claim to being the number before 2. But then 1.999 has an even better claim, and so on. For ever.
