Thirteen Frequently Overlooked Tax Deductions

My friend just became a Certified Public Accountant at a big firm and has to work 70- to 80-hour weeks until the end of April. Ah, tax season. Make the dreaded chore of doing your taxes more enjoyable (or at least more bearable) this year by reading up on 13 tax deductions that you may be eligible for but which are often overlooked. Some of the more interesting to me are student loan interest paid by Mom & Dad and reinvested dividends—who knew that the money automatically reinvested in my Roth IRA is tax-deductible? It’s also interesting to note that while you can’t deduct job search expenses, you can deduct moving expenses once you get that first job. Something for me to keep in mind for next year...
