Tax Deduction for Your Dependant Corals?

This sounds interesting. A proposed tax deduction bill for the expense of keeping our pet animals.

Fish are fish, and i don’t know if they think Nemo or Dory are dependants. But technically, Corals are animals.

Hmmm???

Wow would that be great if i could write off $3500 of stuff I bought at the LFS!!!

I do have 3 cats too. Pretty sure they are qualified.

We would have to ask our tax expert if the bill passes. But he would never post a reply!

Wishful thinking

Dang! Paul. you are right. i had to put on my glasses for the fine print. oh well, maybe someday, since practically everybody has pets.
