Important Reminders
Third party designee. You can check the
“Yes” box in the “Third Party Designee” area of
your return to authorize the IRS to discuss your
return with a friend, family member, or any other
person you choose. This allows the IRS to call
the person you identified as your designee to
answer any questions that may arise during the
processing of your return. It also allows your
designee to perform certain actions. See your
income tax package for details.
Personal interest. Personal interest is not de-
ductible. Examples of personal interest include
interest on a loan to purchase an automobile for
personal use and credit card and installment
interest incurred for personal expenses.
But you may be able to deduct interest you
pay on a qualified student loan. For details, see
Publication 970, Tax Benefits for Education.
Limit on itemized deductions. Certain item-
ized deductions (including home mortgage inter-
est) are limited if your adjusted gross income is
more than $139,500 ($69,750 if you are married
filing separately). For more information, see the
instructions for Schedule A (Form 1040).
