A little tax information

If you pay for long distance on your telephone, you can claim a refund for the long-distance tax. It was established in 1898 as a luxury tax on wealthy Americans who owned telephones. Apparently not many people know about this, so look into it with your accountant or do some more research online to see if you're eligible.

By the way, medical bills are also a deduction!! I can't tell you how many people ( i work in a medical office) tell me they had no idea. This includes but not limited to costs you pay to, primary care physicians, optometrists, contact lenses, gynecologists, dentists, etc and so forth.

Don't forget to file your taxes soon. Some accountants charge extension filing fees!

I am not a financial professional but in my opinion these are deductions you shouldn't pass up!
Who doesn't love free money!
