2009 Tax Deductions Available to Bigs

It’s that time of year again to begin calculating and filing your federal income tax. BBBSCI is pleased to inform you that Bigs are entitled to the following tax deductions:

You may deduct $.14 cents per mile incurred in picking up and driving the Little around.
You may also deduct the cost of meals, movie tickets, museum admissions, etc. which you spend for the Little. However, you cannot deduct the costs you incur for your own meals, tickets. etc.
You must maintain adequate records to support your deduction. Please consult your tax advisor.

While BBBSCI encourages quality time rather than money spent on the Little to be most important in the relationship, we trust that you will find the above information useful.
