1040 Preparation and Planning Part 3: Deductions (2007 Edition)

Sidney Kess and Barbara Weltman

The purpose of this series of courses is to bring the tax preparer "up-to-speed" in the most efficient way possible for the tax preparation season. It offers quick answers and hands-on help for tax return preparation that has become increasingly complex by several recently passed tax Acts. This third course in the series reviews the deductions that taxpayers are permitted to take to reduce their tax.

These fall into two classes: deductions from gross income in computing adjusted gross income (so-called business deductions), which are often referred to as "above-the-line" deductions; and deductions from adjusted gross income.

The deductions encountered on most returns are the personal or "itemized" deductions. The course details general, medical, taxes, interest, contributions, and miscellaneous deductions.
