    Firefighter Deductions

    I have searched and the only special firefighter deductions in TTB appear to be the meal situation. Am I missing any other special deductions that I should consider?

    Thanks.

    Only in government or politics is a "cut in spending" really an increase. It's just not as much of an increase as they wanted it to be, therefore a "cut".

        Burke,
        Are you referring to the fact that since he would have earned income, he would now be able to deduct sehi, or am I misunderstanding?

        Thanks.

          No, I am talking about retirement income on 1099R from which health insurance is deducted by the payor and sent directly to the insurance company. There is a deduction for up to $3,000 of accident, health or LTC payments for retired public safety officers (new for 2007.)

            OK - Thanks. This will be for a voluntary firefighter in a rural area.
