Is there something unique about taxes for a policeman?

He's probably wants them done for free. :)

I figured as such. Taxes are pretty easy with TurboTax or any number of programs. They shouldn't take much longer than an hour, if you have all your forms in front of you (or can get them online).

Not looking for a free handout just looking for someone familiar with common deductions for law enforcement deductions because I'm not sure what I can claim. But thanks for assuming things

But thanks for assuming things Well that's why I asked. I'd be curious to know what kind of job-related things you (or any W2 employee) could write off. I'd think you can look over your old tax returns to see what has been claimed in the past. |

Last year's return is the place to start.
Business expenses are deductible and may come off income rather than as deductions. This includes uniforms, required "tools," expendables, training, professional (not news stand) publications and associations, etc. not reimbursed. -- Chuck |

And you would have needed reciepts, hence you should already know what kind of things the guy deducted.
unless of course you're the guy that brings a shoebox full of paperwork and collects a tax return a few weeks later. All my contacts are in SW OH, but H&R Block or TurboTax are pretty easy to use if you only looking to get through one year. |

I have receipts saved for everything I think I can claim but I just want some reassurance so I don't fuck it up. I'm not sure of the % of mileage I can use for driving personal car to training and such. |
