Dealing With The Awkward Phase(s) Bear in mind that hair, on average, grows a quarter of an inch to half an inch per month. So even though the goal is to grow out your hair as quickly as possible, youâll still need to check in with your stylist every 4 to 6 weeks. âThis will maintain healthy hair, and will help you avoid the potential mullet syndrome, where there is an imbalance between the length and the layers,â says Cutler.
The standard deduction is the simplest way to deduct medical costs from your taxes. Rather than totaling all of your allowable deductions, you can simply subtract the standard deduction from your adjusted gross income. In 2010, the standard deductions were $5,700 for single taxpayers, $11,400 for married couples and $8,400 for head of household taxpayers. In certain situations, you can take an even higher standard deduction.
The standard deduction is a fixed amount, based on your filing status, that reduces your taxable income. You can use either the standard deduction or your actual itemized deductions on Form 1040, but not both. The standard deduction for a single person or a married person filing separately is $6,300 (2016). Married couples filing jointly have a standard deduction of exactly twice as much as a single person's, at $12,600. If you file as a head of household, your standard deduction is $9,300.
