Internal Revenue Service

2005 Instructions for Schedules A & B
(Form 1040)
Instructions for
Schedule A,
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 2005, 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
• Certain cash contributions paid after
August 27, 2005, are not subject to the
overall limitation on itemized deductions
or the 50% adjusted gross income limitation. See the instructions for line 15b on
page A-7.
• Casualty and theft losses that occurred
in the Hurricane Katrina disaster area after
August 24, 2005, are not subject to the
$100 and the 10% adjusted gross income
limitations if the loss was caused by Hurricane Katrina. See the instructions for line
19 on page A-8.
• The 2005 rate for use of your vehicle
to get medical care is 15 cents a mile (22
cents a mile after August 31, 2005).
• The 2005 rate for charitable use of
your vehicle to provide relief related to
Hurricane Katrina is 29 cents a mile after
August 24, 2005 (34 cents a mile after August 31, 2005).
• If you deduct more than $500 for a
contribution of a motor vehicle, boat, or
airplane, you must attach a statement from
the charitable organization to your return.
See the instructions for line 16 that begin
on page A-7.
• If you elected to deduct contributions
made in January 2005 for the relief of victims of the Indian Ocean tsunami on your
2004 return, you cannot deduct the contributions for 2005. See Contributions You
Cannot Deduct on page A-7.
• Special rules apply to certain contributions of food inventory and book inven-

tory made after August 27, 2005. For
details, see Pub. 526.
• Certain whaling captains may be able
to claim a charitable deduction for whale
hunting expenses. See Gifts to Charity on
page A-6 for more details.
• The tables and worksheet needed to
figure your state and local sales tax deduction using the optional method have been
added to the instructions for line 5 that begin on page A-3. Pub. 600 and Pub. 600-A
do not apply for 2005.
• Line 29 has been added to elect to
itemize even though your itemized deductions are less than your standard deduction.
This election was previously made on Form
1040.

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 that 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
2005, see Pub. 969 to figure
your deduction.

A-1
Cat. No. 24328L

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.
Note. If, during 2005, you were an eligible
trade adjustment assistance (TAA) recipient, alternative TAA 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.

You cannot deduct insurance
premiums paid with pretax dollars because the premiums are
not included in box 1 of your
Form(s) W-2.

• Prescription medicines or insulin.
• Acupuncturists, chiropractors, dentists, 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.
• Nursing help (including your share of
the employment taxes paid). If you paid
someone to do both nursing and house-

work, 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).
• A program to stop smoking and for
prescription medicines to alleviate nicotine
withdrawal.
• 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 15 cents
a mile (22 cents a mile for travel after August 31, 2005). Add parking and tolls to the
amount you claim under either method.

Examples of Medical and
Dental Payments You
Cannot Deduct
• The basic cost of Medicare insurance
(Medicare A).

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.

• The cost of diet food.
• Cosmetic surgery unless it was necessary 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.
• 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.

nicotine gum and certain nicotine patches).
• Travel your doctor told you to take for
rest or a change.
• Funeral, burial, or cremation costs.

Line 1
Note. Certain medical expenses paid out of

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 2005, of the person for whom the
premiums were paid. See the chart below
for details.

Medical and Dental
Expenses
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.
Note. If, during 2005, you were an eligible
trade adjustment assistance (TAA) recipient, alternative TAA 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 health coverage tax
credit advance payments shown in box 1 of
Form 1099-H. Also, subtract the amount

TIP

A-2

shown on Form 8885, line 4 (reduced by
any advance payments shown on line 6 of
that form), from the total insurance premiums you paid.
Whose medical and dental expenses can
you include? You can include medical and

dental bills you paid for:
• Yourself and your spouse.
• All dependents you claim on your return.
• 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 $3,200 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 2005 return.
Example. You provided over half of
your mother’s support but cannot claim her
as a dependent because she received wages
of $3,200 in 2005. You can include on line
1 any medical and dental expenses you paid
in 2005 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 2005 for medical or dental expenses you paid in 2005, reduce your
2005 expenses by this amount. If you received a reimbursement in 2005 for prior
year medical or dental expenses, do not
reduce your 2005 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 excise taxes.
• Social security, Medicare, federal unemployment (FUTA), and railroad retirement (RRTA) taxes.
• Customs duties.
• Federal estate and gift taxes. But see
the instructions for line 27 on page A-9.

The type and rule above prints on all proofs including departmental reproduction proofs. MUST be removed before printing.

• 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.).

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 2005. 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
2005 for a prior year, such as taxes paid
with your 2004 state or local income tax
return. Do not include penalties or interest.
• State and local estimated tax payments made during 2005, including any
part of a prior year refund that you chose to
have credited to your 2005 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.
Do not reduce your deduction by any:
• State or local income tax refund or
credit you expect to receive for 2005, or
• Refund of, or credit for, prior year
state and local income taxes you actually
received in 2005. 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.

Actual Expenses
Generally, you can deduct the actual state
and local general sales taxes (including
compensating use taxes) you paid in 2005
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. Sales taxes on motor
vehicles are also deductible as a general
sales tax if the tax rate was more than the

general sales tax rate, but the tax is deductible only up to the amount of tax that would
have been imposed at the general sales tax
rate. 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 re-

ceived a refund of state or local general
sales taxes in 2005 for amounts paid in
2005, reduce your 2005 state and local general sales taxes by this amount. If you received a refund of state or local general
sales taxes in 2005 for prior year purchases,
do not reduce your 2005 state and local
general sales taxes by this amount. But if
you deducted your 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-10 through
A-12 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.
Note. Instead of completing the worksheet,

you can use the 2005 Sales Tax Calculator
on the IRS website at www.irs.gov/pub/
irs-soi/SalesTaxCalc05.xls.

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 2005, enter the applicable amount, based
on your 2005 income and exemptions, from
the optional state sales tax table for your
state on page A-10 or A-11. Read down the
“At least – But less than” columns for your
state and find the line that includes your
2005 income. If married filing separately,
do not include your spouse’s income. Your
2005 income is the amount shown on your
Form 1040, line 38, plus any nontaxable
items, such as the following.
• Tax-exempt interest.
• Veterans’ benefits.

A-3

• Nontaxable combat pay.
• Workers’ 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.
The exemptions column refers to the number of exemptions claimed on Form 1040,
line 6d. Do not include any additional exemptions you listed on Form 8914 for individuals displaced by Hurricane Katrina.
What if you lived in more than one
state? If you lived in more than one state
during 2005, 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 2005 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 2005 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, 2005 (243
days), and in State B from September 1
through December 31, 2005 (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 2005 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 2005, enter the applicable amount, based on your 2005 income and exemptions, from the optional
local sales tax table for your locality on
page A-12. Read down the “At least – But
less than” columns for your locality and
find the line that includes your 2005 income. See the line 1 instructions on this
page to figure your 2005 income. The exemptions column refers to the number of
exemptions claimed on Form 1040, line 6d.
Do not include any additional exemptions
you listed on Form 8914 for individuals
displaced by Hurricane Katrina.
What if you lived in more than one locality? If you lived in more than one locality during 2005, 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 2005 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, 2005 (243
days), and in Locality 2 from September 1
through December 31, 2005 (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.

Line 3. If you lived in Virginia, check the

“No” box. Your state and local general
sales taxes are combined in the table on
page A-11.
If you lived in California, check the
“No” box if your combined state and local
general sales tax rate is 7.25%. Otherwise,
check the “Yes” box and include on line 3
only the part of the combined rate that is
more than 7.25%.
If you lived in Nevada, check the “No”
box if your combined state and local gen-

eral sales tax rate is 6.5%. Otherwise, check
the “Yes” box and include on line 3 only
the part of the combined rate that is more
than 6.5%
If you lived in Texarkana, Arkansas,
check the “Yes” box and enter “4.0” on line
3. Your local general sales tax rate of 4.0%
includes the additional 1.0% Arkansas state
sales tax rate for Texarkana and the 1.5%
sales tax rate for Miller County.
What if your local general sales tax rate
changed during 2005? If you checked the
“Yes” box and your local general sales tax
rate changed during 2005, 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 2005 and the denominator is the total number of days in the year (365). Enter
the total of the prorated tax rates on line 3.

What if you lived in more than one
locality in the same state during 2005?
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 2005 and either of the
following applies.
• Each locality did not have the same
local general sales tax rate.
• You lived in Texarkana, AR; Los Angeles County, CA; or New York, NY.

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-12 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
2005 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, 2005 (243
days), and in Locality 2 from September 1
through December 31, 2005 (122 days).
The local general sales tax rate for Locality
1 is 1%. The rate for Locality 2 is 1.75%.

Line 6. If you lived in more than one local-

ity in the same state during 2005, 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 2005. 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.

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 2005.
If you sold your home in 2005, 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.
Refunds and rebates. If you received a re-

fund or rebate in 2005 of real estate taxes
you paid in 2005, reduce your deduction by
the amount of the refund or rebate. If you
received a refund or rebate in 2005 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.

Line 7
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 2005, 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
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).

A-5

Personal Property Taxes
Enter personal property tax you paid, but
only if it is based on value alone and it is
charged on a yearly basis.
Example. You paid a yearly fee for the
registration of your car. Part of the fee was
based on the car’s value and part was based
on its weight. You can deduct only the part
of the fee that was based on the car’s value.

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 income tax you paid to a foreign
country or U.S. possession.

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

details.

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 2005
that applies to any period after 2005, you
can deduct only amounts that apply for
2005.

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 2005. 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
2005. 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.

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 no., and address on the dotted
lines next to line 11. If the recipient is an
individual, the identifying no. 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.
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 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.

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.

TIP

If you paid off a mortgage
early, deduct any remaining
points in the year you paid off
the mortgage.

A-6

Line 13
Investment Interest
Investment interest is interest paid on
money you borrowed that is allocable to
property held for investment. It does not
include any interest allocable to passive activities or to securities that generate tax-exempt income.
Complete and attach Form 4952 to figure your deduction.
Exception. You do not have to file Form

4952 if all three of the following apply.
1. Your investment interest expense is
not more than your investment income
from interest and ordinary dividends minus
any qualified dividends.
2. You have no other deductible investment expenses.
3. You have no disallowed investment
interest expense from 2004.

Alaska Permanent Fund dividends, including those reported
on Form 8814, are not investment income.
For more details, see Pub. 550.

Gifts to Charity
You can deduct contributions or gifts you
gave to organizations that are religious,
charitable, educational, scientific, or literary in purpose. 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 2005 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.
• Call our Tax Exempt/Government Entities Customer Account Services at
1-877-829-5500. Assistance is available
Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to
5:30 p.m. Eastern Time.

Examples of Qualified Charitable
Organizations

• Churches, mosques, synagogues, temples, etc.
• Boy Scouts, Boys and Girls Clubs of
America, CARE, Girl Scouts, Goodwill Industries, Red Cross, Salvation Army,
United Way, etc.
• Fraternal orders, if the gifts will be
used for the purposes listed above.
• Veterans’ and certain cultural groups.

The type and rule above prints on all proofs including departmental reproduction proofs. MUST be removed before printing.

• Nonprofit schools, hospitals, and organizations whose purpose is to find a cure
for, or help people who have, arthritis,
asthma, birth defects, cancer, cerebral
palsy, cystic fibrosis, diabetes, heart disease, hemophilia, mental illness or retardation, multiple sclerosis, muscular
dystrophy, tuberculosis, etc.
• Federal, state, and local governments
if the gifts are solely for public purposes.

Contributions You Can
Deduct
Contributions can be in cash (keep canceled checks, receipts, or other reliable
written records showing the name of the
organization and the date and amount
given), property, or out-of-pocket expenses
you paid to do volunteer work for the kinds
of organizations described earlier. If you
drove to and from the volunteer work, you
can take the actual cost of gas and oil or 14
cents a mile. But, if the volunteer work was
to provide relief related to Hurricane Katrina after August 24, 2005, this amount is
increased to 29 cents a mile (34 cents a mile
after August 31, 2005). 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. 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) below.
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.
1. The amount of any money contributed and a description (but not value) of
any property donated.
2. 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.

You must get the statement by
the date you file your return or
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.

TIP

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.

The limit described in item (1)
above does not apply to certain
TIP
cash contributions paid after
August 27, 2005, if you elect to
treat those contributions as qualified contributions. See the instructions for line 15b on
this page for details.

Contributions You Cannot
Deduct
• Any contribution you made in January
2005 for the relief of victims in areas affected by the December 26, 2004, Indian
Ocean tsunami that you elected to deduct
on your 2004 return.
• Travel expenses (including meals and
lodging) while away from home, unless
there was no significant element of personal pleasure, recreation, or vacation in
the travel.
• Political contributions.
• Dues, fees, or bills paid to country
clubs, lodges, fraternal orders, or similar
groups.
• Cost of raffle, bingo, or lottery tickets.
But you may be able to deduct these expenses on line 27. See page A-9 for details.
• Cost of tuition. But you may be able to
deduct this expense on line 20 (see page
A-8), or Form 1040, line 34, or take a credit
for this expense (see Form 8863).
• Value of your time or services.
• Value of blood given to a blood bank.
• The transfer of a future interest in tangible personal property (generally, until the
entire interest has been transferred).
• Gifts to individuals and groups that
are run for personal profit.
• Gifts to foreign organizations. But
you may be able to deduct gifts to certain
U.S. organizations that transfer funds to
foreign charities and certain Canadian, Is-

A-7

raeli, and Mexican charities. See Pub. 526
for details.
• Gifts to organizations engaged in certain political activities that are of direct financial interest to your trade or business.
See section 170(f)(9).
• Gifts to groups whose purpose is to
lobby for changes in the laws.
• Gifts to civic leagues, social and
sports clubs, labor unions, and chambers of
commerce.
• Value of benefits received in connection with a contribution to a charitable organization. See Pub. 526 for exceptions.

Line 15a
Total Gifts by Cash or Check
Enter on line 15a the total gifts you made in
cash or by check (including out-of-pocket
expenses).

Line 15b
Qualified Contributions
In general, you can elect to treat gifts by
cash or check as qualified contributions if
the gifts were paid after August 27, 2005, to
a qualified charitable organization (other
than certain private foundations described
in section 509(a)(3)). Qualified contributions are not subject to the overall limitation on itemized deductions or the 50%
adjusted gross income limitation.
Qualified contributions do not include
contributions to organizations for which
cash gifts are subject to a limit based on
30% of your adjusted gross income (such
as contributions to veterans’ organizations,
fraternal societies, nonprofit cemeteries,
and certain private nonoperating foundations). Also, qualified contributions do not
include any contributions to a segregated
fund or account for which you (or any person appointed or designated by you) have,
or reasonably expect to have, advisory
privileges with respect to distributions or
investments based on your contribution.
Certain limits may apply if your qualified contributions are more than the amount
on Form 1040, line 38, minus all other allowable contributions. For details, see Pub.
526.

Line 16
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

The type and rule above prints on all proofs including departmental reproduction proofs. MUST be removed before printing.

For more details on determining the value
of donated property, see Pub. 561.
If the amount of your deduction is more
than $500, you must complete and attach
Form 8283. For this purpose, the “amount
of your deduction” means your deduction
before applying any income limits that
could result in a carryover of contributions.
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. If
your total deduction is over $5,000, you
may also have to get appraisals of the values of the donated property. See Form 8283
and its instructions for details.
Recordkeeping. If you gave property, you
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 17
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. See Pub. 526 for details.

Casualty and Theft
Losses
Line 19
Complete and attach Form 4684 to figure
the amount of your loss to enter on line 19.

each loss caused by theft, vandalism, fire,
storm, or similar causes, and car, boat, and
other accidents. You may also be able to

deduct money you had in a financial institution but lost because of the insolvency or
bankruptcy of the institution.
You can deduct nonbusiness casualty or
theft losses only to the extent that:
1. The amount of each separate casualty
or theft loss is more than $100, and
2. The total amount of all losses during
the year (reduced by the $100 limit discussed in (1) above) is more than 10% of
the amount on Form 1040, line 38.

The limits in items (1) and (2)
above do not apply to casualty
and theft losses that occurred in
the Hurricane Katrina disaster
area after August 24, 2005, if the loss was
caused by Hurricane Katrina. See Form
4684 and its instructions for details.
Special rules apply if you had both gains
and losses from nonbusiness casualties or
thefts. See Form 4684 and its instructions
for details.
Use Schedule A, line 22, to deduct the
costs of proving that you had a property
loss. Examples of these costs are appraisal
fees and photographs used to establish the
amount of your loss.
For information on federal disaster area
losses, see Pub. 547. For information on tax
benefits related to Hurricane Katrina, see
Pub. 4492.

Page 13 of 14 of 2005 Instructions for Schedules A & B (Form 1040) 16:01 - 10-NOV-2005
The type and rule above prints on all proofs including departmental reproduction proofs. MUST be removed before printing.

Instructions for
Schedule B,
Interest and
Ordinary
Dividends

Use Schedule B (Form 1040) if any of the following applies.
• You had over $1,500 of taxable interest.
• Any of the Special Rules listed in the instructions for line 1 apply to you.
• You are claiming the exclusion of interest from series EE or I U.S. savings bonds issued
after 1989.
• You had over $1,500 of ordinary dividends.
• You received ordinary dividends as a nominee.
• You had a foreign account or you received a distribution from, or were a grantor of, or
transferor to, a foreign trust. Part III of the schedule has questions about foreign accounts and
trusts.

You can list more than one
payer on each entry space for
lines 1 and 5, but be sure to
clearly show the amount paid
next to the payer’s name. Add the separate
amounts paid by the payers listed on an
entry space and enter the total in the
“Amount” column. If you still need more
space, attach separate statements that are
the same size as the printed schedule. Use
the same format as lines 1 and 5, but show
your totals on Schedule B. Be sure to put
your name and social security number
(SSN) on the statements and attach them at
the end of your return.

If you received interest as a
nominee, you must give the actual owner a Form 1099-INT
unless the owner is your
spouse. You must also file a Form 1096 and
a Form 1099-INT with the IRS. For more
details, see the General Instructions for
Forms 1099, 1098, 5498, and W-2G and
the Instructions for Forms 1099-INT and
1099-OID.

TIP

Part I. Interest
Line 1

TIP

Accrued Interest
When you buy bonds between interest payment dates and pay accrued interest to the
seller, this interest is taxable to the seller. If
you received a Form 1099 for interest as a
purchaser of a bond with accrued interest,
follow the rules earlier under Nominees to
see how to report the accrued interest on
Schedule B. But identify the amount to be
subtracted as “Accrued Interest.”

Interest

Tax-Exempt Interest

Report on line 1 all of your taxable interest.
Interest should be shown on your Forms
1099-INT, Forms 1099-OID, or substitute
statements. Include interest from series EE
and I U.S. savings bonds. List each payer’s
name and show the amount.

If you received a Form 1099-INT for
tax-exempt interest, follow the rules earlier
under Nominees to see how to report the
interest on Schedule B. But identify the
amount to be subtracted as “Tax-Exempt
Interest.”

Special Rules

Original Issue Discount (OID)

Seller-Financed Mortgages
If you sold your home or other property and
the buyer used the property as a personal
residence, list first any interest the buyer
paid you on a mortgage or other form of
seller financing. Be sure to show the
buyer’s name, address, and SSN. You must
also let the buyer know your SSN. If you do
not show the buyer’s name, address, and
SSN, or let the buyer know your SSN, you
may have to pay a $50 penalty.

Nominees
If you received a Form 1099-INT that includes interest you received as a nominee
(that is, in your name, but the interest actually belongs to someone else), report the
total on line 1. Do this even if you later
distributed some or all of this income to
others. Under your last entry on line 1, put a
subtotal of all interest listed on line 1. Below this subtotal, enter “Nominee Distribution” and show the total interest you
received as a nominee. Subtract this
amount from the subtotal and enter the result on line 2.

If you are reporting OID in an amount less
than the amount shown on Form
1099-OID, follow the rules earlier under
Nominees to see how to report the OID on
Schedule B. But identify the amount to be
subtracted as “OID Adjustment.”

Amortizable Bond Premium
If you are reducing your interest income on
a bond by the amount of amortizable bond
premium, follow the rules earlier under
Nominees to see how to report the interest
on Schedule B. But identify the amount to
be subtracted as “ABP Adjustment.”

Line 3
Excludable Interest on
Series EE and I U.S. Savings
Bonds Issued After 1989
If, during 2005, you cashed series EE or I
U.S. savings bonds issued after 1989 and
you paid qualified higher education expenses for yourself, your spouse, or your

B-1

dependents, you may be able to exclude
part or all of the interest on those bonds.
See Form 8815 for details.

Part II. Ordinary
Dividends
You may have to file Form
5471 if, in 2005, you were an
officer or director of a foreign
corporation. You may also have
to file Form 5471 if, in 2005, you owned
10% or more of the total (a) value of a
foreign corporation’s stock, or (b) combined voting power of all classes of a foreign corporation’s stock with voting rights.
For details, see Form 5471 and its instructions.

TIP

Line 5
Ordinary Dividends
Report on line 5 all of your ordinary dividends. This amount should be shown in box
1a of your Forms 1099-DIV or substitute
statements. List each payer’s name and
show the amount.

Nominees
If you received a Form 1099-DIV that includes ordinary dividends you received as a
nominee (that is, in your name, but the ordinary dividends actually belong to someone
else), report the total on line 5. Do this even
if you later distributed some or all of this
income to others. Under your last entry on
line 5, put a subtotal of all ordinary dividends listed on line 5. Below this subtotal,
enter “Nominee Distribution” and show the
total ordinary dividends you received as a
nominee. Subtract this amount from the
subtotal and enter the result on line 6.

If you received dividends as a
nominee, you must give the actual owner a Form 1099-DIV
unless the owner is your
spouse. You must also file a Form 1096 and
a Form 1099-DIV with the IRS. For more
details, see the General Instructions for
Forms 1099, 1098, 5498, and W-2G and
the Instructions for Form 1099-DIV.

in any corporation that owns one or more
foreign bank accounts.

domestic corporation with securities listed
on national securities exchanges or with
assets of more than $1 million and 500 or
more shareholders of record; the account
was in your employer’s name; you did not
have a personal financial interest in the account; and the corporation’s chief financial
officer has given you written notice that the
corporation has filed a current report that
includes the account.
See Form TD F 90-22.1 to find out if
you are considered to have an interest in or
signature or other authority over a financial
account in a foreign country (such as a bank
account, securities account, or other financial account). You can get Form TD F
90-22.1 by visiting the IRS website at
www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f9022-1.pdf.
If you checked the “Yes” box on line 7a,
file Form TD F 90-22.1 by June 30, 2006,
with the Department of the Treasury at the
address shown on that form. Do not attach
it to Form 1040.

90-22.1 but do not do so, you
may have to pay a penalty of up
to $10,000 (more in some
cases).

enter the name of the foreign country or
countries in the space provided on line 7b.

to, a foreign trust that existed during 2005,
you may have to file Form 3520.
