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.
The IRS allows you to deduct preventative care, treatment, surgeries and dental and vision care as qualifying medical expenses. You can also deduct visits to psychologists and psychiatrists. Prescription medications and appliances such as glasses, contacts, false teeth and hearing aids are also deductible.
