Medicare Premiums Could Lower Your Tax Bill

If you’re covered by Medicare, you know it can be confusing. You may not know that, if you qualify, you can deduct the cost of premiums, along with other medical costs, on your tax return. But it can be tough to qualify.

Charitable Deductions

December’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act preserves the charitable deduction. But you still might find that you don’t enjoy the same tax benefits from charitable giving in 2018 as you do on your 2017 return.

Tax Deductions: Moving Costs

If you moved in 2017, you might be able to deduct some of your moving expenses on your 2017 tax return. Unfortunately, if you move in 2018, it’s a different story.

Tax Breaks: Tuition and Fees
