If my professor is a cat lady, I'm fucked. If she hates them, I'm going to have her laugh me to an A.

Quote :

"Unreimbursed volunteer expenses are deductible as a charitable contribution if the taxpayer provides services to a charitable organization and, as a result, incurs additional expenses. The contributions must be substantiated following the guidelines of Treas. Reg. § 1.170A-13. Unreimbursed volunteer expenses of $250 or more must be substantiated by a contemporaneous written acknowledgment from the charitable organization; however, the regulations are silent concerning similar expenses of less than $250."

This is good to know in general.

Yes, that is the Lounge-worthy portion. The example is the Chit Chat.

"In 2004, Van Dusen cared for 70 to 80 cats (including seven of her own), incurring veterinary, pet and cleaning supply, utility and other expenses, of which she deducted $12,068 on her 2004 income tax return."
