Comments on Proposed Tax Deduction for Pet Care Expenses
In response to the posting here, about a proposed federal bill for a tax deduction for pet care expenses, I recently received this response from a reader.
"I know that I can be charged with animal abuse for not feeding and taking care of my dog when something is wrong with her.
It cost lots of money to care for our pets.
Food; vet bills; medicine and other items for our pets are expensive also.
Why cannot there be a reasonable credit for pet care; like a standard deduction of $1500.00 to help offset some of the cost pet care?
We have to pay taxes on all the things our pets needs.
What happens to the tax that is charged on pet needs and supplies?"
Any thoughts from you?
