Certain Cash Contributions for Haiti Relief Can Be Deducted on Your 2009 Tax Return A new law allows you to choose to deduct certain charitable contributions of money on your 2009 tax return instead of your 2010 return. The contributions must have been made after January 11, 2010, and before March 1, 2010, for the relief of victims in areas affected by the January 12, 2010, earthquake in Haiti. Contributions of money include contributions made by cash, check, money order, credit card, charge card, debit card, or via cell phone. The new law was enacted after the 2009 forms, instructions, and publications had already been printed. When preparing your 2009 tax return, you may complete the forms as if these contributions were made on December 31, 2009, instead of in 2010. To deduct your charitable contributions, you must itemize deductions on Schedule A (Form 1040) or Schedule A (Form 1040NR). The contribution must be made to a qualified organization and meet all other requirements for charitable contribution deductions. However, if you made the contribution by phone or text message, a telephone bill showing the name of the donee organization, the date of the contribution, and the amount of the contribution will satisfy the recordkeeping requirement. Therefore, for example, if you made a $10 charitable contribution by text message that was charged to your telephone or wireless account, a bill from your telecommunications company containing this information satisfies the recordkeeping requirement.

Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service 2009 Instructions for Schedule A (Form 1040) Itemized Deductions Use Schedule A (Form 1040) to figure your itemized deductions. In most cases, your federal income tax will be less if you take the larger of your itemized deductions or your standard deduction. If you itemize, you can deduct a part of your medical and dental expenses and unreimbursed employee business expenses, and amounts you paid for certain taxes, interest, contributions, and miscellaneous expenses. You can also deduct certain casualty and theft losses. If you and your spouse paid expenses jointly and are filing separate returns for 2009, see Pub. 504 to figure the portion of joint expenses that you can claim as itemized deductions. Do not include on Schedule A items deducted elsewhere, such as on Form 1040 or Schedule C, C-EZ, E, or F. Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code unless otherwise noted. What’s New Schedule B. Schedule B, Interest and Ordi- nary Dividends, is no longer associated with Schedule A. Schedules A and B are now separate schedules. New motor vehicle taxes. You can deduct certain state and local sales and excise taxes you paid in 2009 for the purchase of a new motor vehicle. If your state does not have a sales tax, you may be able to deduct certain other fees or taxes. See the instructions for line 7 on page A-6. Increase in personal casualty and theft loss limit. Generally, each personal casualty or theft loss is limited to the excess of the loss over $500. In addition, the 10%-of-adjusted-gross-income (AGI) limit continues to apply to the net loss. Credit or debit card convenience fees. If you pay your income tax (including estimated tax payments) by credit or debit card, you may be able to deduct the convenience fee you are charged by the card processor to pay using your credit or debit card. See the instructions for line 23 that begins on page A-10. Standard mileage rates. The 2009 rate for use of your vehicle to get medical care is 24 cents a mile. The special rate for charitable use of your vehicle to provide relief related to a Midwestern disaster area has expired. Medical and Dental Expenses You can deduct only the part of your medical and dental expenses that exceeds 7.5% of the amount on Form 1040, line 38. Pub. 502 discusses the types of expenses you can and cannot deduct. It also explains when you can deduct capital expenses and special care expenses for disabled persons. If you received a distribution from a health savings account or a medical savings account in 2009, see Pub. 969 to figure your deduction. Examples of Medical and Dental Payments You Can Deduct To the extent you were not reimbursed, you can deduct what you paid for: • Insurance premiums for medical and dental care, including premiums for qualified long-term care contracts as defined in Pub. 502. But see Limit on long-term care premiums you can deduct on page A-2. Reduce the insurance premiums by any self-employed health insurance deduction you claimed on Form 1040, line 29. You cannot deduct insurance premiums paid with pretax dollars because the premiums are not included in box 1 of your Form(s) W-2. If you are a retired public safety officer, you cannot deduct any premiums you paid to the extent they were paid for with a tax-free distribution from your retirement plan. A-1 Cat. No. 53061X If, during 2009, you were an eligible trade adjustment assistance (TAA) recipient, alternative TAA (ATAA) recipient, reemployment TAA (RTAA) recipient, or Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation pension recipient, you must reduce your insurance premiums by any amounts used to figure the health coverage tax credit. See the instructions for line 1 on page A-2. • Prescription medicines or insulin. • Acupuncturists, chiropractors, den- tists, eye doctors, medical doctors, occupational therapists, osteopathic doctors, physical therapists, podiatrists, psychiatrists, psychoanalysts (medical care only), and psychologists. • Medical examinations, X-ray and laboratory services, insulin treatment, and whirlpool baths your doctor ordered. • Diagnostic tests, such as a full-body scan, pregnancy test, or blood sugar test kit. • Nursing help (including your share of the employment taxes paid). If you paid someone to do both nursing and housework, you can deduct only the cost of the nursing help. • Hospital care (including meals and lodging), clinic costs, and lab fees. • Qualified long-term care services (see Pub. 502). • The supplemental part of Medicare insurance (Medicare B). • The premiums you pay for Medicare Part D insurance. • A program to stop smoking and for prescription medicines to alleviate nicotine withdrawal.

MUST be removed before printing. • A weight-loss program as treatment for a specific disease (including obesity) diagnosed by a doctor. • Medical treatment at a center for drug or alcohol addiction. • Medical aids such as eyeglasses, contact lenses, hearing aids, braces, crutches, wheelchairs, and guide dogs, including the cost of maintaining them. • Surgery to improve defective vision, such as laser eye surgery or radial keratotomy. • Lodging expenses (but not meals) while away from home to receive medical care in a hospital or a medical care facility related to a hospital, provided there was no significant element of personal pleasure, recreation, or vacation in the travel. Do not deduct more than $50 a night for each eligible person. • Ambulance service and other travel costs to get medical care. If you used your own car, you can claim what you spent for gas and oil to go to and from the place you received the care; or you can claim 24 cents a mile. Add parking and tolls to the amount you claim under either method. If you were age 65 or older but not entitled to social security TIP benefits, you can deduct premiums you voluntarily paid for Medicare A coverage. • Nursing care for a healthy baby. But you may be able to take a credit for the amount you paid. See the instructions for Form 1040, line 48. • Illegal operations or drugs. • Imported drugs not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This includes foreign-made versions of U.S.-approved drugs manufactured without FDA approval. • Nonprescription medicines (including nicotine gum and certain nicotine patches). • Travel your doctor told you to take for rest or a change. • Funeral, burial, or cremation costs. Note. Certain medical expenses paid out of Medical and Dental Expenses a deceased taxpayer’s estate can be claimed on the deceased taxpayer’s final return. See Pub. 502 for details. Limit on long-term care premiums you can deduct. The amount you can deduct for qualified long-term care contracts (as defined in Pub. 502) depends on the age, at the end of 2009, of the person for whom the premiums were paid. See the chart below for details. IF the person was, at the end of 2009, age . . . THEN the most you can deduct is . . . 40 or under $ 320 41–50 $ 600 51–60 $ 1,190 61–70 $ 3,180 71 or older $ 3,980 Examples of Medical and Dental Payments You Cannot Deduct • The cost of diet food. • Cosmetic surgery unless it was neces- sary to improve a deformity related to a congenital abnormality, an injury from an accident or trauma, or a disfiguring disease. • Life insurance or income protection policies. • The Medicare tax on your wages and tips or the Medicare tax paid as part of the self-employment tax or household employment taxes. Line 1 Enter the total of your medical and dental expenses (see page A-1), after you reduce these expenses by any payments received from insurance or other sources. See Reimbursements on this page. Do not forget to include insurance premiums you paid for medical and dental care. But if you claimed the self-employed health insurance deduction on Form 1040, line 29, reduce the premiums by the amount on line 29. TIP Note. If, during 2009, you were an eligible trade adjustment assistance (TAA) recipient, alternative TAA (ATAA) recipient, reemployment TAA (RTAA) recipient, or Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation pension recipient, you must complete Form 8885 before completing Schedule A, line 1. When figuring the amount of insurance premiums you can deduct on Schedule A, do not include: • Any amounts you included on Form 8885, line 4, • Any qualified health insurance premiums you paid to “U.S. Treasury — HCTC,” or • Any health coverage tax credit advance payments shown in box 1 of Form 1099-H. Whose medical and dental expenses can you include? You can include medical and dental bills you paid for anyone who was one of the following either when the services were provided or when you paid for them. A-2 • Yourself and your spouse. • All dependents you claim on your re- turn. • Your child whom you do not claim as a dependent because of the rules for children of divorced or separated parents. • Any person you could have claimed as a dependent on your return except that person received $3,650 or more of gross income or filed a joint return. • Any person you could have claimed as a dependent except that you, or your spouse if filing jointly, can be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s 2009 return. Example. You provided over half of your mother’s support but cannot claim her as a dependent because she received wages of $3,650 in 2009. You can include on line 1 any medical and dental expenses you paid in 2009 for your mother. Reimbursements. If your insurance com- pany paid the provider directly for part of your expenses, and you paid only the amount that remained, include on line 1 only the amount you paid. If you received a reimbursement in 2009 for medical or dental expenses you paid in 2009, reduce your 2009 expenses by this amount. If you received a reimbursement in 2009 for prior year medical or dental expenses, do not reduce your 2009 expenses by this amount. But if you deducted the expenses in the earlier year and the deduction reduced your tax, you must include the reimbursement in income on Form 1040, line 21. See Pub. 502 for details on how to figure the amount to include. Cafeteria plans. Do not include on line 1 insurance premiums paid by an employer-sponsored health insurance plan (cafeteria plan) unless the premiums are included in box 1 of your Form(s) W-2. Also, do not include any other medical and dental expenses paid by the plan unless the amount paid is included in box 1 of your Form(s) W-2. Taxes You Paid Taxes You Cannot Deduct • Federal income and most excise taxes. • Social security, Medicare, federal un- employment (FUTA), and railroad retirement (RRTA) taxes. • Customs duties. • Federal estate and gift taxes. But see the instructions for line 28 on page A-11. • Certain state and local taxes, including: tax on gasoline, car inspection fees, assessments for sidewalks or other improvements to your property, tax you paid for someone else, and license fees (marriage, driver’s, dog, etc.).

MUST be removed before printing. Line 5 You can elect to deduct state and local general sales taxes instead of state and local income taxes. You cannot deduct both. State and Local Income Taxes If you deduct state and local income taxes, check box a on line 5. Include on this line the state and local income taxes listed below. • State and local income taxes withheld from your salary during 2009. Your Form(s) W-2 will show these amounts. Forms W-2G, 1099-G, 1099-R, and 1099-MISC may also show state and local income taxes withheld. • State and local income taxes paid in 2009 for a prior year, such as taxes paid with your 2008 state or local income tax return. Do not include penalties or interest. • State and local estimated tax payments made during 2009, including any part of a prior year refund that you chose to have credited to your 2009 state or local income taxes. • Mandatory contributions you made to the California, New Jersey, or New York Nonoccupational Disability Benefit Fund, Rhode Island Temporary Disability Benefit Fund, or Washington State Supplemental Workmen’s Compensation Fund. • Mandatory contributions to the Alaska, New Jersey, or Pennsylvania state unemployment fund. Do not reduce your deduction by any: • State or local income tax refund or credit you expect to receive for 2009, or • Refund of, or credit for, prior year state and local income taxes you actually received in 2009. Instead, see the instructions for Form 1040, line 10. State and Local General Sales Taxes If you elect to deduct state and local general sales taxes, you must check box b on line 5. To figure your deduction, you can use either your actual expenses or the optional sales tax tables. You cannot deduct new motor vehicle taxes on line 7 of Schedule A if you make this election. Actual Expenses Generally, you can deduct the actual state and local general sales taxes (including compensating use taxes) you paid in 2009 if the tax rate was the same as the general sales tax rate. However, sales taxes on food, clothing, medical supplies, and motor vehicles are deductible as a general sales tax even if the tax rate was less than the general sales tax rate. If you paid sales tax on a motor vehicle at a rate higher than the general sales tax rate, you can deduct only the amount of tax that you would have paid at the general sales tax rate on that vehicle. Motor vehicles include cars, motorcycles, motor homes, recreational vehicles, sport utility vehicles, trucks, vans, and off-road vehicles. Also include any state and local general sales taxes paid for a leased motor vehicle. Do not include sales taxes paid on items used in your trade or business. You must keep your actual receipts showing general sales taxes paid to use this method. Refund of general sales taxes. If you received a refund of state or local general sales taxes in 2009 for amounts paid in 2009, reduce your actual 2009 state and local general sales taxes by this amount. If you received a refund of state or local general sales taxes in 2009 for prior year purchases, do not reduce your 2009 state and local general sales taxes by this amount. But if you deducted your actual state and local general sales taxes in the earlier year and the deduction reduced your tax, you may have to include the refund in income on Form 1040, line 21. See Recoveries in Pub. 525 for details. Optional Sales Tax Tables Instead of using your actual expenses, you can use the tables on pages A-12 through A-14 to figure your state and local general sales tax deduction. You may also be able to add the state and local general sales taxes paid on certain specified items. To figure your state and local general sales tax deduction using the tables, complete the worksheet on page A-4 or use the 2009 Sales Tax Deduction Calculator on the IRS website. To use the 2009 Sales Tax Deduction Calculator, go to www.irs.gov and enter “Sales tax deduction calculator” in the search box. If your filing status is married filing separately, both you and your spouse elect to deduct sales taxes, and your spouse elects to use the optional sales tax tables, you also must use the tables to figure your state and local general sales tax deduction. Instructions for Line 5b Worksheet Line 1. If you lived in the same state for all of 2009, enter the applicable amount, based on your 2009 income and exemptions, from the optional state sales tax table for your state on page A-12 or A-13. Read down the “At least – But less than” columns for your state and find the line that includes your 2009 income. If married filing separately, do not include your spouse’s income. Your 2009 income is the amount shown on your Form 1040, line 38, plus any nontaxable items, such as the following. • Tax-exempt interest. A-3 • A voucher received or payment made for such voucher under the CARS “cash for clunkers” program. • Veterans’ benefits. • Nontaxable combat pay. • Workers’ compensation. • Nontaxable unemployment compensation. • Nontaxable part of social security and railroad retirement benefits. • Nontaxable part of IRA, pension, or annuity distributions. Do not include rollovers. • Public assistance payments. • Economic recovery payments. The exemptions column refers to the number of exemptions claimed on Form 1040, line 6d. What if you lived in more than one state? If you lived in more than one state during 2009, look up the table amount for each state using the above rules. If there is no table for your state, the table amount is considered to be zero. Multiply the table amount for each state you lived in by a fraction. The numerator of the fraction is the number of days you lived in the state during 2009 and the denominator is the total number of days in the year (365). Enter the total of the prorated table amounts for each state on line 1. However, if you also lived in a locality during 2009 that imposed a local general sales tax, do not enter the total on line 1. Instead, complete a separate worksheet for each state you lived in and enter the prorated amount for that state on line 1. Example. You lived in State A from January 1 through August 31, 2009 (243 days), and in State B from September 1 through December 31, 2009 (122 days). The table amount for State A is $500. The table amount for State B is $400. You would figure your state general sales tax as follows. State A: State B: Total $500 x 243/365 = $400 x 122/365 = = $333 134 $467 If none of the localities in which you lived during 2009 imposed a local general sales tax, enter $467 on line 1 of your worksheet. Otherwise, complete a separate worksheet for State A and State B. Enter $333 on line 1 of the State A worksheet and $134 on line 1 of the State B worksheet. Line 2. If you checked the “No” box, enter -0- on line 2, and go to line 3. If you checked the “Yes” box and lived in the same locality for all of 2009, enter the applicable amount, based on your 2009 income and exemptions, from the optional local sales tax table for your locality on page A-14. Read down the “At least – But less than” columns for your locality and find the line that includes your 2009 income. See the line 1 instructions on this page to figure your 2009 income.

If you lived in more than one locality during 2009, look up the table amount for each locality using the above rules. If there is no table for your locality, the table amount is considered to be zero. Multiply the table amount for each locality you lived in by a fraction. The numerator of the fraction is the number of days you lived in the locality during 2009 and the denominator is the total number of days in the year (365). If you lived in more than one locality in the same state and the local general sales tax rate was the same for each locality, enter the total of the prorated table amounts for each locality in that state on line 2. Otherwise, complete a separate worksheet for lines 2 through 6 for each locality and enter each prorated table amount on line 2 of the applicable worksheet. Example. You lived in Locality 1 from January 1 through August 31, 2009 (243 days), and in Locality 2 from September 1 through December 31, 2009 (122 days). The table amount for Locality 1 is $100. The table amount for Locality 2 is $150. You would figure the amount to enter on line 2 as follows. Note that this amount may not equal your local sales tax deduction, which is figured on line 6 of the worksheet.

If you lived in Nevada, check the “No” box if your combined state and local general sales tax rate is 6.6764%. Otherwise, check the “Yes” box and include on line 3 only the part of the combined rate that is more than 6.6764%. What if your local general sales tax rate changed during 2009? If you checked the “Yes” box and your local general sales tax rate changed during 2009, figure the rate to enter on line 3 as follows. Multiply each tax rate for the period it was in effect by a fraction. The numerator of the fraction is the number of days the rate was in effect during 2009 and the denominator is the total number of days in the year (365). Enter the total of the prorated tax rates on line 3. Example. Locality 1 imposed a 1% local general sales tax from January 1 through September 30, 2009 (273 days). The rate increased to 1.75% for the period from October 1 through December 31, 2009 (92 days). You would enter “1.189” on line 3, figured as follows. January 1 – September 30: October 1 – December 31: Total 1.00 x 273/365 = 0.748 1.75 x 92/365 = = 0.441 1.189 What if you lived in more than one locality in the same state during 2009? Complete a separate worksheet for lines 2 through 6 for each locality in your state if you lived in more than one locality in the same state during 2009 and either of the following applies. • Each locality did not have the same local general sales tax rate. • You lived in Los Angeles County, CA. To figure the amount to enter on line 3 of the worksheet for each locality in which you lived (except a locality for which you used the table on page A-14 to figure your local general sales tax deduction), multiply the local general sales tax rate by a fraction. The numerator of the fraction is the number of days you lived in the locality during 2009 and the denominator is the total number of days in the year (365). Example. You lived in Locality 1 from January 1 through August 31, 2009 (243 days), and in Locality 2 from September 1 through December 31, 2009 (122 days). The local general sales tax rate for Locality 1 is 1%. The rate for Locality 2 is 1.75%. You would enter “0.666” on line 3 for the Locality 1 worksheet and “0.585” for the Locality 2 worksheet, figured as follows. ity in the same state during 2009, you should have completed line 1 only on the first worksheet for that state and separate worksheets for lines 2 through 6 for any other locality within that state in which you lived during 2009. If you checked the “Yes” box on line 6 of any of those worksheets, multiply line 5 of that worksheet by the amount that you entered on line 1 for that state on the first worksheet. Line 7. Enter on line 7 any state and local general sales taxes paid on the following specified items. If you are completing more than one worksheet, include the total for line 7 on only one of the worksheets. 1. A motor vehicle (including a car, motorcycle, motor home, recreational vehicle, sport utility vehicle, truck, van, and off-road vehicle). Also include any state and local general sales taxes paid for a leased motor vehicle. If the state sales tax rate on these items is higher than the general sales tax rate, only include the amount of tax you would have paid at the general sales tax rate. 2. An aircraft or boat, if the tax rate was the same as the general sales tax rate. 3. A home (including a mobile home or prefabricated home) or substantial addition to or major renovation of a home, but only if the tax rate was the same as the general sales tax rate and any of the following applies. a. Your state or locality imposes a general sales tax directly on the sale of a home or on the cost of a substantial addition or major renovation. b. You purchased the materials to build a home or substantial addition or to perform a major renovation and paid the sales tax directly. c. Under your state law, your contractor is considered your agent in the construction of the home or substantial addition or the performance of a major renovation. The contract must state that the contractor is authorized to act in your name and must follow your directions on construction decisions. In this case, you will be considered to have purchased any items subject to a sales tax and to have paid the sales tax directly. Do not include sales taxes paid on items used in your trade or business. If you received a refund of state or local general sales taxes in 2009, see Refund of general sales taxes on page A-3. Line 6 Real Estate Taxes Include taxes (state, local, or foreign) you paid on real estate you own that was not A-5 used for business, but only if the taxes are based on the assessed value of the property. Also, the assessment must be made uniformly on property throughout the community, and the proceeds must be used for general community or governmental purposes. Pub. 530 explains the deductions homeowners can take. Do not include the following amounts on line 6. • Itemized charges for services to specific property or persons (for example, a $20 monthly charge per house for trash collection, a $5 charge for every 1,000 gallons of water consumed, or a flat charge for mowing a lawn that had grown higher than permitted under a local ordinance). • Charges for improvements that tend to increase the value of your property (for example, an assessment to build a new sidewalk). The cost of a property improvement is added to the basis of the property. However, a charge is deductible if it is used only to maintain an existing public facility in service (for example, a charge to repair an existing sidewalk, and any interest included in that charge). If your mortgage payments include your real estate taxes, you can deduct only the amount the mortgage company actually paid to the taxing authority in 2009. If you sold your home in 2009, any real estate tax charged to the buyer should be shown on your settlement statement and in box 5 of any Form 1099-S you received. This amount is considered a refund of real estate taxes. See Refunds and rebates below. Any real estate taxes you paid at closing should be shown on your settlement statement. You must look at your real estate tax bill to decide if any nondeductible itemized charges, such as those listed above, are included in the bill. If your taxing authority (or lender) does not furnish you a copy of your real estate tax bill, ask for it. Refunds and rebates. If you received a re- fund or rebate in 2009 of real estate taxes you paid in 2009, reduce your deduction by the amount of the refund or rebate. If you received a refund or rebate in 2009 of real estate taxes you paid in an earlier year, do not reduce your deduction by this amount. Instead, you must include the refund or rebate in income on Form 1040, line 21, if you deducted the real estate taxes in the earlier year and the deduction reduced your tax. See Recoveries in Pub. 525 for details on how to figure the amount to include in income.

MUST be removed before printing. Line 7 New Motor Vehicle Taxes If you elected to deduct state and local general sales taxes on line 5b, you cannot deduct new motor vehicle taxes on line 7. You may be able to deduct state and local sales and excise taxes (or certain other taxes or fees in a state without a sales tax) paid after February 16, 2009, for the purchase of any new motor vehicle(s). To figure the amount you can deduct, you will need to complete the Worksheet for Line 7 on the back of Schedule A. If the amount on Form 1040, line 38, is equal to or greater than $135,000 ($260,000 if married filing jointly), you cannot deduct these taxes. Instructions for Worksheet for Line 7 Line 1. Enter the state or local sales and excise taxes from your sales invoice(s) relating to any new motor vehicle(s) (defined below) you purchased after February 16, 2009. States with no sales tax. The states of Alaska, Delaware, Hawaii, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon do not have a sales tax. However, you may be charged other taxes or fees on the purchase of a new motor vehicle in one of these six states that is similar to a sales tax. The taxes or fees that qualify must be assessed on the purchase of the vehicle and must be based on the vehicle’s sales price or as a per unit fee. You can include these taxes and fees on line 1 of the Worksheet for Line 7. One example of a fee you can include on line 1 of the worksheet is the 3.75% document fee when registering a title with the Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles. The fee is 3.75% of the purchase price. New motor vehicle. A new motor vehicle is any of the following. The original use of the vehicle must begin with you. • A passenger automobile or light truck that is self propelled, designed to transport people or property on a street or highway, and the gross vehicle weight rating of the vehicle is not more than 8,500 pounds. • A motorcycle (defined below) with a gross vehicle weight rating of not more than 8,500 pounds. • A motor home (defined below). Motorcycle. A vehicle with motive power having a seat or saddle for the use of the rider and designed to travel on not more than three wheels in contact with the ground. Motor home. A multi-purpose vehicle with motive power that is designed to provide temporary residential accommodations, as evidenced by the presence of at least four of the following facilities. • Cooking. • Refrigeration or ice box. • Self-contained toilet. • Heating and/or air conditioning. • Potable water supply system includ- ing a faucet and sink. • Separate 110-125 volt electrical power supply and/or propane. Line 2. Enter on line 2 the cost of the new motor vehicle(s). Do not include on line 2 any state or local sales or excise taxes you entered on line 1. Line 3. If you check the “Yes” box, the amount you can include for state or local sales and excise taxes is limited to the taxes imposed on the first $49,500 of the purchase price of each new motor vehicle. To figure the amount to enter on line 3, you will need to know the rate(s) of tax that apply in the state and locality where you purchased each new motor vehicle. If the state and locality where you purchased a new motor vehicle imposes a fixed rate, multiply the combined state and local rate by the smaller of $49,500 or the purchase price (before taxes) of the new motor vehicle. See Example 1 below. Some taxing jurisdictions may provide for a sales tax that is limited to a certain dollar amount per purchase. One example is Manatee County, Florida. Manatee County charges an additional 1⁄2% (.005) discretionary sales tax that is collected on the first $5,000 of a purchase, not to exceed $25. See Example 2 below. Example 1. You purchased a new motor vehicle on April 3, 2009, for $56,500 before taxes. The state where you purchased the vehicle imposes a fixed sales tax rate of 5% and the locality also charges a fixed rate of 1%, for a combined fixed sales tax rate of 6%. The amount of sales tax you can include on line 3 is $2,970 ($49,500 × 6% (.06)). Example 2. You purchased a new motor vehicle in Manatee County, Florida, on April 16, 2009, for $60,000 before taxes. The state of Florida has a fixed sales tax rate of 6%. The amount of sales tax you can include on line 3 is $2,995 ($49,500 × 6% (.06) + $25). In this example, $2,970 represents the 6% Florida sales tax and the $25 is for the Manatee County discretionary sales tax on the first $5,000 of the purchase price. Line 8 Other Taxes If you had any deductible tax not listed on line 5, 6, or 7, list the type and amount of tax. Enter only one total on line 8. Include on this line: • State and local personal property taxes you paid, if the taxes were based on value alone and were imposed on a yearly basis; and • Income tax you paid to a foreign country or U.S. possession. A-6 TIP You may want to take a credit for the foreign tax instead of a deduction. See the instructions for Form 1040, line 47, for de- tails. Interest You Paid Whether your interest expense is treated as investment interest, personal interest, or business interest depends on how and when you used the loan proceeds. See Pub. 535 for details. In general, if you paid interest in 2009 that applies to any period after 2009, you can deduct only amounts that apply for 2009. Lines 10 and 11 Home Mortgage Interest A home mortgage is any loan that is secured by your main home or second home. It includes first and second mortgages, home equity loans, and refinanced mortgages. A home can be a house, condominium, cooperative, mobile home, boat, or similar property. It must provide basic living accommodations including sleeping space, toilet, and cooking facilities. Limit on home mortgage interest. If you took out any mortgages after October 13, 1987, your deduction may be limited. Any additional amounts borrowed after October 13, 1987, on a line-of-credit mortgage you had on that date are treated as a mortgage taken out after October 13, 1987. If you refinanced a mortgage you had on October 13, 1987, treat the new mortgage as taken out on or before October 13, 1987. But if you refinanced for more than the balance of the old mortgage, treat the excess as a mortgage taken out after October 13, 1987. See Pub. 936 to figure your deduction if either (1) or (2) below applies. If you had more than one home at the same time, the dollar amounts in (1) and (2) apply to the total mortgages on both homes. 1. You took out any mortgages after October 13, 1987, and used the proceeds for purposes other than to buy, build, or improve your home, and all of these mortgages totaled over $100,000 at any time during 2009. The limit is $50,000 if married filing separately. An example of this type of mortgage is a home equity loan used to pay off credit card bills, buy a car, or pay tuition. 2. You took out any mortgages after October 13, 1987, and used the proceeds to buy, build, or improve your home, and these mortgages plus any mortgages you took out on or before October 13, 1987, totaled over $1 million at any time during Page 7 of 14 of 2009 Instructions for Schedule A (Form 1040) 12:53 - 27-OCT-2009 The type and rule above prints on all proofs including departmental reproduction proofs. MUST be removed before printing. 2009. The limit is $500,000 if married filing separately. If the total amount of all mortgages is more than the fair market value of the home, additional limits apply. See Pub. 936. If you and at least one other person (other than your spouse if filing jointly) were liable for and paid interest on the mortgage, and the other person received the Form 1098, attach a statement to your return showing the name and address of that person. To the right of line 11, enter “See attached.” Line 10 Enter on line 10 mortgage interest and points reported to you on Form 1098 under your social security number (SSN). If this form shows any refund of overpaid interest, do not reduce your deduction by the refund. Instead, see the instructions for Form 1040, line 21. If you and at least one other person (other than your spouse if filing jointly) were liable for and paid interest on the mortgage, and the interest was reported on Form 1098 under the other person’s SSN, report your share of the interest on line 11 (as explained in the line 11 instructions below). If you paid more interest to the recipient than is shown on Form 1098, see Pub. 936 to find out if you can deduct the additional interest. If you can, attach a statement explaining the difference and enter “See attached” to the right of line 10. If you are claiming the mortgage interest credit (for holders of qualified mortgage credit certificates issued by state or local governmental units or agencies), subtract the amount shown on Form 8396, line 3, from the total deductible interest you paid on your home mortgage. Enter the result on line 10. Line 11 If you did not receive a Form 1098 from the recipient, report your deductible mortgage interest on line 11. If you bought your home from the recipient, be sure to show that recipient’s name, identifying number, and address on the dotted lines next to line 11. If the recipient is an individual, the identifying number is his or her social security number (SSN). Otherwise, it is the employer identification number. You must also let the recipient know your SSN. If you do not show the required information about the recipient or let the recipient know your SSN, you may have to pay a $50 penalty. Line 12 Points Not Reported on Form 1098 Points are shown on your settlement statement. Points you paid only to borrow money are generally deductible over the life of the loan. See Pub. 936 to figure the amount you can deduct. Points paid for other purposes, such as for a lender’s services, are not deductible. Refinancing. Generally, you must deduct points you paid to refinance a mortgage over the life of the loan. This is true even if the new mortgage is secured by your main home. person (other than your spouse if filing jointly) were liable for and paid the premiums in connection with the loan, and the premiums were reported on Form 1098 under the other person’s SSN, report your share of the premiums on line 13. Qualified mortgage insurance is mortgage insurance provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Federal Housing Administration, or the Rural Housing Service, and private mortgage insurance (as defined in section 2 of the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998 as in effect on December 20, 2006). Mortgage insurance provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Rural Housing Service is commonly known as a funding fee and guarantee fee respectively. These fees can be deducted fully in 2009 if the mortgage insurance contract was issued in 2009. Contact the mortgage insurance issuer to determine the deductible amount if it is not included in box 4 of Form 1098. Prepaid mortgage insurance premiums. If If you used part of the proceeds to improve your main home, you may be able to deduct the part of the points related to the improvement in the year paid. See Pub. 936 for details. you paid qualified mortgage insurance premiums that are allocable to periods after the close of the tax year, you must allocate them over the shorter of: • The stated term of the mortgage, or • 84 months, beginning with the month the insurance was obtained. If you paid off a mortgage early, deduct any remaining points in the year you paid off the mortgage. The premiums are treated as paid in the year to which they are allocated. If the mortgage is satisfied before its term, no deduction is allowed for the unamortized balance. See Pub. 936 for details. TIP Line 13 Qualified Mortgage Insurance Premiums Enter the qualified mortgage insurance premiums you paid under a mortgage insurance contract issued after December 31, 2006, in connection with home acquisition debt that was secured by your first or second home.

You can also deduct what you gave to organizations that work to prevent cruelty to children or animals. Certain whaling captains may be able to deduct expenses paid in 2009 for Native Alaskan subsistence bowhead whale hunting activities. See Pub. 526 for details. To verify an organization’s charitable status, you can: • Check with the organization to which you made the donation. The organization should be able to provide you with verification of its charitable status. • See Pub. 78 for a list of most qualified organizations. You can access Pub. 78 on the IRS website at www.irs.gov under Charities and Non-Profits then Contributors. • Call our Tax Exempt/Government Entities Customer Account Services at 1-877-829-5500.

If you drove to and from the volunteer work, you can take the actual cost of gas and oil or 14 cents a mile. Add parking and tolls to the amount you claim under either method. But do not deduct any amounts that were repaid to you. Gifts from which you benefit. If you made a gift and received a benefit in return, such as food, entertainment, or merchandise, you can generally only deduct the amount that is more than the value of the benefit. But this rule does not apply to certain membership benefits provided in return for an annual payment of $75 or less or to certain items or benefits of token value. For details, see Pub. 526. Example. You paid $70 to a charitable organization to attend a fund-raising dinner and the value of the dinner was $40. You can deduct only $30. Gifts of $250 or more. You can deduct a gift of $250 or more only if you have a statement from the charitable organization showing the information in (1) and (2) next.

Whether the organization did or did not give you any goods or services in return for your contribution. If you did receive any goods or services, a description and estimate of the value must be included. If you received only intangible religious benefits (such as admission to a religious ceremony), the organization must state this, but it does not have to describe or value the benefit. In figuring whether a gift is $250 or more, do not combine separate donations. For example, if you gave your church $25 each week for a total of $1,300, treat each $25 payment as a separate gift. If you made donations through payroll deductions, treat each deduction from each paycheck as a separate gift. See Pub. 526 if you made a separate gift of $250 or more through payroll deduction. You must get the statement by the date you file your return or TIP the due date (including extensions) for filing your return, whichever is earlier. Do not attach the statement to your return. Instead, keep it for your records. Limit on the amount you can deduct. See Pub. 526 to figure the amount of your deduction if any of the following applies. 1. Your cash contributions or contributions of ordinary income property are more than 30% of the amount on Form 1040, line 38. 2. Your gifts of capital gain property are more than 20% of the amount on Form 1040, line 38. 3. You gave gifts of property that increased in value or gave gifts of the use of property.

If you deduct more than $500 for a contribution of a motor vehicle, boat, or airplane, you must also attach a statement from the charitable organization to your return. The organization may use Form 1098-C to provide the required information. If your total deduction is over $5,000, you may also have to get appraisals of the values of the donated property. This amount is $500 for certain contributions of clothing and household items (see below). See Form 8283 and its instructions for details. Contributions of clothing and household items. A deduction for these contributions will be allowed only if the items are in good used condition or better. However, this rule does not apply to a contribution of any single item for which a deduction of more than $500 is claimed and for which you include a qualified appraisal and Form 8283 with your tax return.

The written record must include the name of the charity, date, and amount of the contribution. If you made contributions through payroll deduction, see Pub. 526 for information on the records you must keep. Do not attach the record to your tax return. Instead, keep it with your other tax records. Line 17 Other Than by Cash or Check Enter your contributions of property. If you gave used items, such as clothing or furniture, deduct their fair market value at the time you gave them. Fair market value is what a willing buyer would pay a willing seller when neither has to buy or sell and both are aware of the conditions of the sale.

If the amount of your deduction is more than $500, you must complete and attach A-9 should keep a receipt or written statement from the organization you gave the property to, or a reliable written record, that shows the organization’s name and address, the date and location of the gift, and a description of the property. For each gift of property, you should also keep reliable written records that include: • How you figured the property’s value at the time you gave it. If the value was determined by an appraisal, keep a signed copy of the appraisal. • The cost or other basis of the property if you must reduce it by any ordinary income or capital gain that would have resulted if the property had been sold at its fair market value. • How you figured your deduction if you chose to reduce your deduction for gifts of capital gain property. • Any conditions attached to the gift. If your total deduction for gifts of property is over $500, you gave less than your entire interest in the property, or you made a “qualified conservation contribution,” your records should contain additional information. See Pub. 526 for details. Line 18 Carryover From Prior Year Enter any carryover of contributions that you could not deduct in an earlier year because they exceeded your adjusted gross income limit.
