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.
You can take the deduction only if your total medical care expenses for the year are more than 7.5 percent of your adjusted gross income. Use Schedule A on your Form 1040 to figure out if you have enough expenses to take the deduction.For tax purposes, medical expenses include many things, including travel and transportation costs, as well as some of the costs of lodging and meals.f you use your car, you can deduct actual out-of-pocket expenses, such as gas and oil. If you donât want to bother figuring out your actual expenses, you can deduct the standard mileage rate. For 2010, the standard medical mileage rate is 16.5 cents per mile.
