When to use. Italics do not have any hard-and-fast grammar rules that apply to all the major standard style guides. Whenever you are writing a piece, consult the specific style guide that applies to ensure the proper use of italics, as each style guide may have a slightly different preference or rule.
Donated Appliances. In addition to tax deductions for the purchase of new appliances, you can deduct amounts from your income taxes for appliances donated to charities. If you donate your used appliances when you replace them, you can deduct the fair market value of those items. According to BankRate.com, a typical used TV nets a $75 to $225 deduction.
If you purchased a used RV, you still may be able to itemize the sales taxes paid under general sales tax, Schedule A on line 5b. The IRS has an excellent worksheet for this purpose. Remember, you can deduct sales taxes only if you don't deduct state income taxes on Schedule A line 5a.
