That you have experienced difficulty breathing and shortness of breath is not surprising. The poison ivy could irritate your airways, causing either asthma or acute bronchitis. In addition, the hairy component may be an overgrowth of mold or fungus on the poison ivy that could also irritate your airways.
Some of these qualify as child-care programs and get you a tax deduction. The deductions arenât available for everyone â for example, a stay-at-home parent negates the child-care deduction.
Who Qualifies for the Educator Expense Deduction? Not surprisingly, you must be an educator to be able to take the deduction. This means you can be a teacher, instructor, an aid, or pretty much anyone who spends 900 hours or more per year in a elementary or secondary school. Principals qualify too, but home school educators do not. In addition, you must file either file a Form 1040 or a Form 1040A to deduct your educator expenses. While some tax deductions require taxpayers to itemize in order to benefit, the Educator Expense Deduction does not. As a result, every taxpayer with the bona fide educator expenses described above will save money on their taxes.
