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 itemize your deductions, medical and dental expenses are deductible from your income taxes on Schedule A of your tax return. However, they are subject to a limit. For many years, the limit was 7.5% of a taxpayer's adjusted gross income (AGI), meaning that only those expenses in excess of 7.5% of a taxpayer's AGI were deductible.
