Federal Tax 1040 Form Deductions?

When you fill out your federal tax 1040 form, you have the option to itemize your deductions. This may provide a favorable tax treatment when compared to the standard deductions that have been set by the Internal Revenue Service. Itemized deductions are reported on Schedule A. Most people are familiar with the deduction available to homeowners. This deduction was established by the federal government to promote homeownership within the country. You can deduct real estate property taxes and the mortgage interest that was paid on a first and second home. This also includes interest on home equity loans as well as mortgages up to the value of the home. In addition to property taxes, you can deduct other taxes that you have paid during the year. Because state laws vary, you may not incur and therefore qualify for these deductions. But if you do, you can itemize local income taxes, state and local sales taxes, personal property and ad valorem taxes. Taxpayers who experience large medical bills and itemize their deductions may qualify to deduct a percentage of those expenses. The authorized medical expense deduction includes insurance costs, hospital bills, doctors' visits and other medical expenses that exceed the taxpayer's adjusted gross income by a minimum of 7.5%. These expenses can be incurred by the taxpayer, spouse or dependents listed on the income tax form. Tax preparation fees must exceed your adjusted gross income by a minimum of 2.0%. There are numerous other miscellaneous deductions that taxpayers are authorized to itemize on Schedule A. You can deduct educational expenses, theft losses, tax preparation fees and charitable contributions. You can deduct expenses that you incurred while volunteering for a charitable organization. If you had property stolen or damaged during the course of a criminal act, the value can be deducted. These may be limitations on the amount of itemized deductions that are allowed based on your income and filing status. Review the guidelines for filling out the 1040 form and Schedule A and enter your authorized deductions accordingly.
