2013 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
2013, 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.

CAUTION

Section references are to the Internal
Revenue Code unless otherwise noted.

Future Developments. For the latest
information about developments related
to Schedule A (Form 1040) and its instructions, such as legislation enacted after they were published, go to
www.irs.gov/schedulea.

What's New
Medical and dental expenses. Beginning January 1, 2013, you can deduct
only the part of your medical and dental
expenses that exceeds 10% of your adjusted gross income (7.5% if either you
or your spouse was born before January
2, 1949).
Limit on itemized deductions. Beginning January 1, 2013, itemized deductions for taxpayers with adjusted gross
incomes above $150,000 may be reduced. See the instructions for line 29.
Standard mileage rates. The standard
mileage rate allowed for operating expenses for a car when you use it for
medical reasons is 24 cents per mile.
The business standard mileage rate is
56.5 cents per mile. The 2013 rate for
use of your vehicle to do volunteer work
for certain charitable organizations remains at 14 cents per mile.
Ponzi-type investment schemes on
Form 4684. There is a new Section C

on Form 4684 for 2013. You must complete Section C if you are claiming a
theft loss deduction due to a Ponzi-type
investment scheme and are using Revenue Procedure 2009-20, as modified by
Revenue Procedure 2011-58. Section C
of Form 4684 replaces Appendix A in
Revenue Procedure 2009-20. You do not
need to complete Appendix A.

Medical and Dental
Expenses
You generally can deduct only the part
of your medical and dental expenses that
exceeds 10% of the amount on Form
1040, line 38. However, if either you or
your spouse was born before January 2,
1949, you can deduct the part of your
medical and dental expenses that exceeds 7.5% of the amount on Form
1040, line 38. See the instructions for
line 3.
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
CAUTION
or a medical savings account
in 2013, see Pub. 969 to figure your deduction.

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.
If, during 2013, you were an
eligible trade adjustment assisCAUTION
tance (TAA) recipient, alternative TAA (ATAA) recipient, reemployment TAA (RTAA) recipient, or Pension

Line 1
Medical and Dental
Expenses
Enter the total of your medical and dental expenses, after you reduce these expenses by any payments received from
insurance or other sources. See Reimbursements, later.
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

If, during 2013, you were an
eligible trade adjustment assisCAUTION
tance (TAA) recipient, alternative TAA (ATAA) recipient, reemployment TAA (RTAA) recipient, or Pension
Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC)
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 in
2013 for anyone who was one of the following either when the services were
provided or when you paid for them.
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 $3,900 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 2013 return.
Example. You provided over half of
your mother's support but cannot claim
her as a dependent because she received
wages of $3,900 in 2013. You can include on line 1 any medical and dental
expenses you paid in 2013 for your
mother.
Insurance premiums for certain nondependents. You may have a medical
or dental insurance policy that also covers an individual who is not your dependent (for example, a nondependent
child under age 27). You cannot deduct
any premiums attributable to this individual, unless they are such a person described under Whose medical and dental
expenses can you include, earlier. However, if you had family coverage when
you added this individual to your policy
and your premiums did not increase, you
can enter on line 1 the full amount of
your medical and dental insurance premiums. See Pub. 502 for more information.
Reimbursements. If your insurance
company 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 2013 for
medical or dental expenses you paid in
2013, reduce your 2013 expenses by this
amount. If you received a reimbursement in 2013 for prior year medical or
dental expenses, do not reduce your
2013 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.

Line 3
Multiply line 2 by 10%. But, if either
you or your spouse was born before January 2, 1949, multiply line 2 by 7.5%.
The 7.5% rate applies whether you file a
joint or separate return as long as one
spouse was born before January 2, 1949.
If you are claiming the 7.5%
threshold amount for medical
CAUTION
and dental expenses, make
sure you check the appropriate box(es)
on line 39a of Form 1040 for your situation. If your filing status is married filing separately or head of household,
and you were not born before January
2, 1949, attach a statement to your return indicating that you are taking the
7.5% threshold because your spouse
meets the requirements.

!

Taxes You Paid
Taxes You Cannot Deduct
Federal income and most 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 28.
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
CAUTION
instead of state and local income taxes. You cannot deduct both.

!

State and Local Income
Taxes
If you elect to deduct state and local income taxes, you must check box a on
line 5. Include on this line the state and
local income taxes listed next.
State and local income taxes withheld from your salary during 2013. Your
Form(s) W-2 will show these amounts.
Forms W-2G, 1099-G, 1099-R, and

A-3

1099-MISC may also show state and local income taxes withheld.
State and local income taxes paid
in 2013 for a prior year, such as taxes
paid with your 2012 state or local income tax return. Do not include penalties or interest.
State and local estimated tax payments made during 2013, including any
part of a prior year refund that you chose
to have credited to your 2013 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, California, New Jersey, or Pennsylvania state unemployment fund.
Mandatory contributions to state
family leave programs, such as the New
Jersey Family Leave Insurance (FLI)
program and the California Paid Family
Leave program.
Do not reduce your deduction by any:
State or local income tax refund or
credit you expect to receive for 2013, or
Refund of, or credit for, prior year
state and local income taxes you actually
received in 2013. 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 2013 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, motor-

cycles, 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.

!

CAUTION

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 2013 for amounts paid
in 2013, reduce your actual 2013 state
and local general sales taxes by this
amount. If you received a refund of state
or local general sales taxes in 2013 for
prior year purchases, do not reduce your
2013 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 2013 Optional State and
Certain Local Sales Tax Table and the
2013 Optional Local Sales Tax Tables
for Certain Local Jurisdictions at the end
of these instructions 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 State and Local General
Sales Tax Deduction Worksheet or use
the Sales Tax Deduction Calculator on
the IRS website at www.irs.gov/
Individuals/Sales-Tax-DeductionCalculator.
If your filing status is married
filing separately, both you and
CAUTION
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 the State and
Local General Sales Tax
Deduction Worksheet
Line 1. If you lived in the same state
for all of 2013, enter the applicable
amount, based on your 2013 income and
exemptions, from the 2013 Optional
State and Certain Local Sales Tax Table
for your state. Read down the “At least–
But less than” columns for your state
and find the line that includes your 2013
income. If married filing separately, do
not include your spouse's income. Your
2013 income is the amount shown on
your Form 1040, line 38, plus any nontaxable items, such as the following.
Tax-exempt interest.
Veterans' benefits.
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.

If none of the localities in which you
lived during 2013 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 2013, enter
the applicable amount, based on your
2013 income and exemptions, from the
2013 Optional Local Sales Tax Tables
for Certain Local Jurisdictions for your
locality. Read down the “At least–But
less than” columns for your locality and
find the line that includes your 2013 income. See the instructions for line 1 of
the worksheet to figure your 2013 income. 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 2013, look up the table
amount for each state using the rules stated earlier. 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
2013 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 2013 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.

What if you lived in more than one
locality? If you lived in more than one
locality during 2013, look up the table
amount for each locality using the rules
stated earlier. 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 2013 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 State A from
January 1 through August 31, 2013 (243
days), and in State B from September 1
through December 31, 2013 (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.

Example. You lived in Locality 1
from January 1 through August 31, 2013
(243 days), and in Locality 2 from September 1 through December 31, 2013
(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.

combined rate that is more than
7.5000%.
If you lived in Nevada, check the
“No” box if your combined state and local general sales tax rate is 6.8500%.
Otherwise, check the “Yes” box and include on line 3 only the part of the combined rate that is more than 6.8500%.
What if your local general sales tax
rate changed during 2013? If you
checked the “Yes” box and your local
general sales tax rate changed during
2013, 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
2013 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, 2013 (273 days).
The rate increased to 1.75% for the period from October 1 through December
31, 2013 (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 2013?
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 2013 and
each locality did not have the same local
general sales tax rate.
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 2013 Optional Local
Sales Tax Tables for Certain Local Jurisdictions 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
2013 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, 2013
(243 days), and in Locality 2 from Sep-

tember 1 through December 31, 2013
(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.
Locality 1:
Locality 2:

Line 6. If you lived in more than one
locality in the same state during 2013,
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 2013. 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

A-6

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 2013, see Refund
of general sales taxes, earlier.

Line 6
Real Estate Taxes
If you are a homeowner who
received assistance under a
State Housing Finance Agency
Hardest Hit Fund program or an Emergency Homeowners' Loan program, see
Pub. 530 for the amount you can deduct
on line 6.

TIP

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 assessed uniformly at a like rate
on all real property throughout the community, and the proceeds are 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
2013.
If you sold your home in 2013, 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, later. 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
CAUTION
nondeductible itemized charges, such as those listed earlier, 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
refund or rebate in 2013 of real estate
taxes you paid in 2013, reduce your deduction by the amount of the refund or
rebate. If you received a refund or rebate
in 2013 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
Personal Property Taxes
Enter the state and local personal property taxes you paid, but only if the taxes
were based on value alone and were imposed 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.
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.

TIP

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
2013 that applies to any period after
2013, you can deduct only amounts that
apply for 2013.

Lines 10 and 11
Home Mortgage Interest
If you are a homeowner who
TIP received assistance under a
State Housing Finance Agency
Hardest Hit Fund program or an Emergency Homeowners' Loan program, see
Pub. 530 for the amount you can deduct
on line 10 or 11.
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) next applies. If you

A-7

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 2013. 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 2013. The limit is $500,000 if
married filing separately.
If the total amount of all mortgages is more than the fair
CAUTION
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. If
your Form 1098 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
the other person's Form 1098, report
your share of the interest on line 11 (as
explained in the line 11 instructions).
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 to your paper return explaining the difference and enter “See attached” to the right of line 10.
If you are claiming the mortgage interest credit (for holdCAUTION
ers 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 paid home mortgage insurance interest and it was not reported to you on
Form 1098, report your deductible mortgage interest on line 11.
If you paid home mortgage insurance
interest to the person from whom you
bought the home, write that person's
name, identifying number, and address
on the dotted lines next to line 11. If the
recipient of your home mortgage interest
payment(s) 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.
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 home mortgage interest paid was reported on the other person's Form 1098, attach a statement to
your paper return listing 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.

If you paid off a mortgage early, deduct any remaining
points in the year you paid off
the mortgage. However, if you refinanced your mortgage with the same
lender, see Mortgage ending early in
Pub. 936 for an exception.

Line 13
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. Box 4 of Form
1098 may show the amount of premiums
you paid in 2013. If you and at least one
other 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 the other person's Form 1098, report
your share of the premiums on line 13.
See Prepaid mortgage insurance premiums, later, if you paid any premiums allocable to any period after 2013.
Qualified mortgage insurance is
mortgage insurance provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Federal Housing Administration, or the Rural
Housing Service (or their successor organizations), 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 2013 if the mortgage insurance contract was issued in 2013.
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 you paid qualified mortgage insurance premiums that are allocable to
periods after 2013, 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.
The premiums are treated as paid in the
year to which they are allocated. If the

A-8

mortgage is satisfied before its term, no
deduction is allowed for the unamortized balance. See Pub. 936 for details.
The allocation rules, explained earlier, do not apply to qualified mortgage
insurance provided by the Department
of Veterans Affairs or the Rural Housing
Service (or their successor organizations).
Limit on amount you can deduct. You
cannot deduct your mortgage insurance
premiums if the amount on Form 1040,
line 38, is more than $109,000 ($54,500
if married filing separately). If the
amount on Form 1040, line 38, is more
than $100,000 ($50,000 if married filing
separately), your deduction is limited
and you must use the Mortgage Insurance Premiums Deduction Worksheet to
figure your deduction.

Line 14
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 2012.
Alaska Permanent Fund dividends, including those reporCAUTION
ted 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 de-

duct 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 2013
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.
Use our on-line search tool Exempt
Organizations Select Check to see if an
organization is eligible to receive
tax-deductible contributions (Publication
78 data). You can access Exempt Organizations Select Check on IRS.gov. Click
on “Tools” then on Exempt Organizations Select Check.
Call our Tax Exempt/Government
Entities Customer Account Services at

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 under Gifts
to Charity, earlier.
Veterans' and certain cultural
groups.
Nonprofit 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.
Most nonprofit educational organizations, such as colleges, but only if
your contribution is not a substitute for
tuition or other enrollment fees.
Federal, state, and local governments if the gifts are solely for public
purposes.

Amounts You Can Deduct
Contributions can be in cash, 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. 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.
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.
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

Line 16
Gifts by Cash or Check
Enter on line 16 the total value of gifts
you made in cash or by check (including

Other Than by Cash or
Check
Enter on line 17 the total value of your
contributions of property other than by
cash or check. If you gave used items,
such as clothing or furniture, deduct

when neither has to buy or sell and both
are aware of the conditions of the sale.
For more details on determining the value of donated property, see Pub. 561.

A-10

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 paper return. The organization may use Form 1098-C to provide the required information. If your total deduction is over $5,000 ($500 for
certain contributions of clothing and
household items (discussed next)), you
may also have to get appraisals of the
values of the donated property. 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.
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
CAUTION
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.

Job Expenses and

bankruptcy of the institution.
You can deduct personal 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)) is more than 10%
of the amount on Form 1040, line 38.

determine their local sales tax deduction, then add that to the appropriate amount in the state table. The denominator of the correct ratio
is 7.50%, and the numerator is the total sales tax rate minus 7.50%.
