LAST MINUTE TAX DEDUCTION TIPS FOR 2012:
Apparently sun block (high SPF) and condoms are both recognized by the IRS as valid medical expenses for your flexible spending account! You do not need a note from a doctor for either.
On the other hand, antibiotic ointment and aspirin both require a doctor’s note to qualify. Yes, really!
In short, we should all be getting injured less (!!!) and going on more romantic (but protected) vacations (without the goal of procreation)!! : ) This will not only make us happier and healthier (according to much research), it can also reduce our taxes!
Yes, the clock is ticking for 2012, and many stores are closing early. However, you have until midnight to use online options, such as Drugstore.com or Amazon.com to stock up on condoms, high SPF sunblock, and as well as any other qualifying expense.
Happy Tax Reduction!
