On a lighter note, I know several people who just pick the whole bill as a deduction aand I suspect the aggregate numbers will still be outside the IRS thresholds.  |
Interesting. The IRS differentiates a tax from a fee. For example, some states charge a car tax, based on the value of your car. I believe this is a tax deductible expense. But other states charge an annual registration fee to register your car. The IRS calls this a fee, not a tax, and it is not deductible. But, both charges are basically used for the same purpose. I think they would call the fire department charges a fee, not a tax.
