So when do you know that you qualify for medical deductions in 2011?
Any type of payment made in advance for medical treatment will not be deductible until the service is rendered.
Most of us are probably familiar with the standard medical deductions such as hospital expenses, doctor visits, and health insurance premiums that are not paid pre-tax, but there are many other not so common deductions such as:
You must meet the following requirements to be eligible for the 2011 EIC table:
- You must be married and filing jointly, head of household, qualifying widow, or single. If married, you may not file separately.
- Qualifying children must be under 18, or full-time students.
- Household members must have valid Social Security numbers.
- You must be a U.S. Citizen.
- You must have earned income.
- You cannot be a qualifying child on someone else’s return.
If you meet the above requirements, look for one of the online calculators available through online tax preparation software sites that will calculate the amount you are eligible for. For example, TurboTax Online offers a free calculator.
For example, the age limit of children. Your children have to under 18 years of age, unless they are full time students. Full time students must be under 24 years of age and if your child is permanently disabled, then the age limit doesn’t apply. Do you see what I mean about all of the rules with exceptions? Defining the relationship is predominately what will qualify or disqualify you for being eligible to claim the eic tax credit.
