Question

What can be claimed on taxes? (e.g. Tuition, Car Payments, Car Registration, etc?

Answer 1

Pull out your instructions for the 1040 form and look at the deductions on Schedule A.  You can find them at www.irs. gov

Answer 2

Car Registration, Union Dues, Tuition, Donations, Something on your mortgage (can't remember), medical expenses if they exceed a certain amount, mileage if you have to do work-related driving. Really lots of stuff. We use turbotax.com and it walks you through pretty much everything that you can use as a deduction.

Answer 3

Birth Control Pills......  But only If they don't work.

Answer 4

Read the instructions for schedule A form 1040 - that will give you a list of what can be claimed as itemized deductions.

Your tuition might be eligible for an education credit - see form 8863 and its instructions.

If you are using your car for business, you might be able to deduct some of your car expenses, but not for personal miles or miles commuting to work or school.

Depending on your state, part of your car registration fee might be deductible on schedule A if it's a tax based on the value of your car.
