Additional Thoughts On the Proposed Tax Deduction for Pets
Another comment on the ongoing controversy regarding a proposed tax deduction for pet costs.
Attorney Steven Wegner of California recently wrote to us as follows:
..."It is undeniable that most people consider pets as part of their family.
It is also true that caring for a pet is a significant expense that should be recognized and receive some relief under the tax code. Given the huge deficits the government is running any measure like Congressman McCotter's bill that reduces government revenues will be very strongly opposed.
Its best hope for passage is in gaining the support of organizations like the Humane Society of the United States. I am one of its 11 million other members and will email HSUS today to find out what they are doing to support the bill's passage and whether they have alerted their members to contact their elected representatives."
