Free 2008 Instruction 1040 Schedule A & B - Federal

Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service

2008 Instructions for Schedules A & B (Form 1040) Instructions for Schedule A, Itemized Deductions
Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code unless otherwise noted.

Use Schedule A (Form 1040) to figure your itemized deductions. In most cases, your federal income tax will be less if you take the larger of your itemized deductions or your standard deduction. If you itemize, you can deduct a part of your medical and dental expenses and unreimbursed employee business expenses, and amounts you paid for certain taxes, interest, contributions, and miscellaneous expenses. You can also deduct certain casualty and theft losses. If you and your spouse paid expenses jointly and are filing separate returns for 2008, see Pub. 504 to figure the portion of joint expenses that you can claim as itemized deductions.

Do not include on Schedule A items deducted elsewhere, such as on Form 1040 or Schedule C, C-EZ, E, or F.

Medical and Dental Expenses
You can deduct only the part of your medical and dental expenses that exceeds 7.5% of the amount on Form 1040, line 38. Pub. 502 discusses the types of expenses that you can and cannot deduct. It also explains when you can deduct capital expenses and special care expenses for disabled persons.

Examples of Medical and Dental Payments You Can Deduct
To the extent you were not reimbursed, you can deduct what you paid for: · Insurance premiums for medical and dental care, including premiums for qualified long-term care contracts as defined in Pub. 502. But see Limit on long-term care premiums you can deduct on page A-2. Reduce the insurance premiums by any self-employed health insurance deduction you claimed on Form 1040, line 29. You cannot deduct insurance premiums paid with pretax dollars because the premiums are not included in box 1 of your Form(s) W-2. If you are a retired public safety officer, you cannot deduct any premiums you paid to the extent they were paid for with a tax-free distribution from your retirement plan.

The deduction for qualified mortgage insurance premiums for mortgage insurance contracts issued after December 31, 2006, was extended through 2010. See the instructions for line 13 on page A-6.

If you deduct state and local income taxes, check box a on line 5. Include on this line the state and local income taxes listed below. · State and local income taxes withheld from your salary during 2008. Your Form(s) W-2 will show these amounts.

Do not reduce your deduction by any: · State or local income tax refund or credit you expect to receive for 2008, or · Refund of, or credit for, prior year state and local income taxes you actually received in 2008. Instead, see the instructions for Form 1040, line 10.

Optional Sales Tax Tables Instead of using your actual expenses, you can use the tables on pages A-11 through A-13 to figure your state and local general sales tax deduction. You may also be able to add the state and local general sales taxes paid on certain specified items. To figure your state and local general sales tax deduction using the tables, complete the worksheet on page A-4 or use the 2008 Sales Tax Deduction Calculator on the IRS website. To use the 2008 Sales Tax Deduction Calculator, go to www.irs.gov and enter "Sales tax deduction calculator" in the search box.
If your filing status is married filing separately, both you and your spouse elect to deduct sales taxes, and your spouse elects to use the optional sales tax tables, you also must use the tables to figure your state and local general sales tax deduction. Instructions for Line 5b Worksheet Line 1. If you lived in the same state for all of 2008, enter the applicable amount, based on your 2008 income and exemptions, from the optional state sales tax table for your state on page A-11 or A-12. Read down the "At least ­ But less than" columns for your state and find the line that includes your 2008 income. If married filing separately, do not include your spouse's income. Your 2008 income is the amount shown on your Form 1040, line 38, plus any nontaxable items, such as the following. · Tax-exempt interest. · Veterans' benefits. · Nontaxable combat pay. · Workers' compensation. · Nontaxable part of social security and railroad retirement benefits. · Nontaxable part of IRA, pension, or annuity distributions. Do not include rollovers. · Public assistance payments. The exemptions column refers to the number of exemptions claimed on Form 1040, line 6d.
What if you lived in more than one state? If you lived in more than one state during 2008, look up the table amount for each state using the above rules. If there is no table for your state, the table amount is considered to be zero. Multiply the table amount for each state you lived in by a fraction. The numerator of the fraction is the number of days you lived in the state during 2008 and the denominator is the total number of days in the year (366). Enter the total of the prorated table amounts for each state on line 1. However, if you also lived in a locality during 2008 that imposed a local general sales tax, do not enter the total on line 1. Instead, complete a separate worksheet for each state you lived in and enter the prorated amount for that state on line 1. Example. You lived in State A from January 1 through August 31, 2008 (244 days), and in State B from September 1 through December 31, 2008 (122 days).

The table amount for State A is $500. The table amount for State B is $400. You would figure your state general sales tax as follows.
State A: State B: Total $500 x 244/366 = $400 x 122/366 = = $333 133 $466

State and Local General Sales Taxes
If you elect to deduct state and local general sales taxes, you must check box b on line 5. To figure your deduction, you can use either your actual expenses or the optional sales tax tables.

Actual Expenses
Generally, you can deduct the actual state and local general sales taxes (including compensating use taxes) you paid in 2008 if the tax rate was the same as the general sales tax rate. However, sales taxes on food, clothing, medical supplies, and motor vehicles are deductible as a general sales tax even if the tax rate was less than the general sales tax rate. If you paid sales tax on a motor vehicle at a rate higher than the general sales tax rate, you can deduct only the amount of tax that you would have paid at the general sales tax rate on that vehicle. Motor vehicles include cars, motorcycles, motor homes, recreational vehicles, sport utility vehicles, trucks, vans, and off-road vehicles. Also include any state and local general sales taxes paid for a leased motor vehicle. Do not include sales taxes paid on items used in your trade or business.

You must keep your actual receipts showing general sales taxes paid to use this method.
Refund of general sales taxes. If you received a refund of state or local general sales taxes in 2008 for amounts paid in 2008, reduce your actual 2008 state and local general sales taxes by this amount. If you received a refund of state or local general sales taxes in 2008 for prior year purchases, do not reduce your 2008 state and local general sales taxes by this amount. But if you deducted your actual state and local general sales taxes in the earlier year and the deduction reduced your tax, you may have to include the refund in income on Form 1040, line 21. See Recoveries in Pub. 525 for details.

If none of the localities in which you lived during 2008 imposed a local general sales tax, enter $466 on line 1 of your worksheet. Otherwise, complete a separate worksheet for State A and State B. Enter $333 on line 1 of the State A worksheet and $133 on line 1 of the State B worksheet. Line 2. If you checked the "No" box, enter -0- on line 2, and go to line 3. If you checked the "Yes" box and lived in the same locality for all of 2008, enter the applicable amount, based on your 2008 income and exemptions, from the optional local sales tax table for your locality on page A-13. Read down the "At least ­ But less than" columns for your locality and find the line that includes your 2008 income. See the line 1 instructions on this page to figure your 2008 income. The exemptions column refers to the number of exemptions claimed on Form 1040, line 6d. What if you lived in more than one locality? If you lived in more than one locality during 2008, look up the table amount for each locality using the above rules. If there is no table for your locality, the table amount is considered to be zero. Multiply the table amount for each locality you lived in by a fraction. The numerator of the fraction is the number of days you lived in the locality during 2008 and the denominator is the total number of days in the year (366). If you lived in more than one locality in the same state and the local general sales tax rate was the same for each locality, enter the total of the prorated table amounts for each locality in that state on line 2. Otherwise, complete a separate worksheet for lines 2 through 6 for each locality and enter each prorated table amount on line 2 of the applicable worksheet. Example. You lived in Locality 1 from January 1 through August 31, 2008 (244 days), and in Locality 2 from September 1 through December 31, 2008 (122 days). The table amount for Locality 1 is $100. The table amount for Locality 2 is $150. You would figure the amount to enter on line 2 as follows. Note that this amount may not equal your local sales tax deduction, which is figured on line 6 of the worksheet.
Locality 1: Locality 2: Total $100 x 244/366 = $150 x 122/366 = = $ 67 50 $117

Line 3. If you lived in California, check the "No" box if your combined state and local general sales tax rate is 7.25%. Otherwise, check the "Yes" box and include on line 3 only the part of the combined rate that is more than 7.25%. If you lived in Nevada, check the "No" box if your combined state and local general sales tax rate is 6.5%. Otherwise, check the "Yes" box and include on line 3 only

A-3

the part of the combined rate that is more than 6.5%.
What if your local general sales tax rate changed during 2008? If you checked the "Yes" box and your local general sales tax rate changed during 2008, figure the rate to enter on line 3 as follows. Multiply each tax rate for the period it was in effect by a fraction. The numerator of the fraction is the number of days the rate was in effect

during 2008 and the denominator is the total number of days in the year (366). Enter the total of the prorated tax rates on line 3.
Example. Locality 1 imposed a 1% local general sales tax from January 1 through September 30, 2008 (274 days). The rate increased to 1.75% for the period from October 1 through December 31, 2008 (92 days). You would enter "1.189" on line 3, figured as follows.

January 1 ­ September 30: October 1 ­ December 31: Total

1.00 x 274/366 = 1.75 x 92/366 = =

0.749 0.440 1.189

What if you lived in more than one locality in the same state during 2008? Complete a separate worksheet for lines 2 through 6 for each locality in your state if you lived in more than one locality in the

To figure the amount to enter on line 3 of the worksheet for each locality in which you lived (except a locality for which you used the table on page A-13 to figure your local general sales tax deduction), multiply the local general sales tax rate by a fraction. The numerator of the fraction is the number of days you lived in the locality during 2008 and the denominator is the total number of days in the year (366). Example. You lived in Locality 1 from January 1 through August 31, 2008 (244 days), and in Locality 2 from September 1 through December 31, 2008 (122 days). The local general sales tax rate for Locality 1 is 1%. The rate for Locality 2 is 1.75%. You would enter "0.667" on line 3 for the Locality 1 worksheet and "0.583" for the Locality 2 worksheet, figured as follows.

Personal Property Taxes
Enter the state and local personal property taxes you paid, but only if the taxes were based on value alone and were imposed on a yearly basis.
Example. You paid a yearly fee for the registration of your car. Part of the fee was based on the car's value and part was based on its weight. You can deduct only the part of the fee that was based on the car's value.

Line 6
Real Estate Taxes
Include taxes (state, local, or foreign) you paid on real estate you own that was not used for business, but only if the taxes are based on the assessed value of the property. Also, the assessment must be made uniformly on property throughout the community, and the proceeds must be used for general community or governmental purposes. Pub. 530 explains the deductions homeowners can take. Do not include the following amounts on line 6. · Itemized charges for services to specific property or persons (for example, a $20 monthly charge per house for trash collection, a $5 charge for every 1,000 gallons of water consumed, or a flat charge for mowing a lawn that had grown higher than permitted under a local ordinance). · Charges for improvements that tend to increase the value of your property (for example, an assessment to build a new sidewalk). The cost of a property improvement is added to the basis of the property. However, a charge is deductible if it is used only to maintain an existing public facility in service (for example, a charge to repair an existing sidewalk, and any interest included in that charge). If your mortgage payments include your real estate taxes, you can deduct only the amount the mortgage company actually paid to the taxing authority in 2008. If you sold your home in 2008, any real estate tax charged to the buyer should be shown on your settlement statement and in box 5 of any Form 1099-S you received. This amount is considered a refund of real estate taxes. See Refunds and rebates below. Any real estate taxes you paid at closing should be shown on your settlement statement. Refunds and rebates. If you received a refund or rebate in 2008 of real estate taxes you paid in 2008, reduce your deduction by the amount of the refund or rebate. If you received a refund or rebate in 2008 of real estate taxes you paid in an earlier year, do not reduce your deduction by this amount. Instead, you must include the refund or rebate in income on Form 1040, line 21, if you deducted the real estate taxes in the earlier year and the deduction reduced your tax. See Recoveries in Pub. 525 for details

general sales taxes paid on the following specified items. If you are completing more than one worksheet, include the total for line 7 on only one of the worksheets. 1. A motor vehicle (including a car, motorcycle, motor home, recreational vehicle, sport utility vehicle, truck, van, and off-road vehicle). Also include any state and local general sales taxes paid for a leased motor vehicle. If the state sales tax rate on these items is higher than the general sales tax rate, only include the amount of tax you would have paid at the general sales tax rate. 2. An aircraft or boat, if the tax rate was the same as the general sales tax rate. 3. A home (including a mobile home or prefabricated home) or substantial addition to or major renovation of a home, but only if the tax rate was the same as the general sales tax rate and any of the following applies. a. Your state or locality imposes a general sales tax directly on the sale of a home or on the cost of a substantial addition or major renovation. b. You purchased the materials to build a home or substantial addition or to perform a major renovation and paid the sales tax directly. c.

took out any mortgages after October 13, 1987, your deduction may be limited. Any additional amounts borrowed after October 13, 1987, on a line-of-credit mortgage you had on that date are treated as a mortgage taken out after October 13, 1987. If you refinanced a mortgage you had on October 13, 1987, treat the new mortgage as taken out on or before October 13, 1987. But if you refinanced for more than the balance of

A-5

the old mortgage, treat the excess as a mortgage taken out after October 13, 1987. See Pub. 936 to figure your deduction if either (1) or (2) below applies. If you had more than one home at the same time, the dollar amounts in (1) and (2) apply to the total mortgages on both homes. 1. You took out any mortgages after October 13, 1987, and used the proceeds for purposes other than to buy, build, or improve your home, and all of these mortgages totaled over $100,000 at any time during 2008. The limit is $50,000 if married filing separately. An example of this type of mortgage is a home equity loan used to pay off credit card bills, buy a car, or pay tuition. 2. You took out any mortgages after October 13, 1987, and used the proceeds to buy, build, or improve your home, and these mortgages plus any mortgages you took out on or before October 13, 1987, totaled over $1 million at any time during 2008. The limit is $500,000 if married filing separately.

Otherwise, it is the employer identification number. You must also let the recipient know your SSN. If you do not show the required information about the recipient or let the recipient know your SSN, you may have to pay a $50 penalty. If you and at least one other person (other than your spouse if filing jointly) were liable for and paid interest on the mortgage, and the other person received the Form 1098, attach a statement to your return showing the name and address of that person. To the right of line 11, enter "See attached."

Mortgage insurance provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Rural Housing Service is commonly known as a funding fee and guarantee fee respectively. These fees can be deducted fully in 2008 if the mortgage insurance contract was issued in 2008. Contact the mortgage insurance issuer to determine the deductible amount if it is not included in box 4 of Form 1098.
Prepaid mortgage insurance. If you paid

Points Not Reported on Form 1098
Points are shown on your settlement statement. Points you paid only to borrow money are generally deductible over the life of the loan. See Pub. 936 to figure the amount you can deduct. Points paid for other purposes, such as for a lender's services, are not deductible.
Refinancing. Generally, you must deduct

premiums for qualified mortgage insurance that are allocable to periods after 2008, such premiums are treated as paid in the year to which they are allocated. No deduction is allowed for the unamortized balance if the mortgage is satisfied before its term. The two preceding sentences do not apply to qualified mortgage insurance provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs or the Rural Housing Service. If, in 2007, you obtained a mortgage and paid qualified mortgage insurance premiums that are allocable to periods after 2007, you can allocate the premiums over the shorter of the stated term of the mortgage or 84 months, beginning with the month the insurance was obtained. See Pub. 936. At the time these instructions went to print, additional guidance was not yet issued for mortgage insurance premiums that were paid in 2008, but allocable to periods after 2008. For more details, go to www.irs. gov, click on More Forms and Publications, and then on What's Hot in forms and publications, or see Pub. 553, Highlights of 2008 Tax Changes, available in early 2009.

If this form shows any refund of overpaid interest, do not reduce your deduction by the refund. Instead, see the instructions for Form 1040, line 21. If you and at least one other person (other than your spouse if filing jointly) were liable for and paid interest on the mortgage, and the interest was reported on Form 1098 under the other person's SSN, report your share of the interest on line 11 (as explained in the line 11 instructions below). If you paid more interest to the recipient than is shown on Form 1098, see Pub. 936 to find out if you can deduct the additional interest. If you can, attach a statement explaining the difference and enter "See attached" to the right of line 10.

Qualified Mortgage Insurance Premiums
Enter the qualified mortgage insurance premiums you paid under a mortgage insurance contract issued after December 31, 2006, in connection with home acquisition debt that was secured by your first or second home. See Prepaid mortgage insurance on this page if you paid any premiums allocable to any period after 2008. Box 4 of Form 1098 may show the amount of premiums you paid in 2008. If you and at least one other person (other than your spouse if filing jointly) were liable for and paid the premiums in connection with the loan, and the premiums were reported on Form 1098 under the other person's SSN, report your share of the premiums on line 13. Qualified mortgage insurance is mortgage insurance provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Federal Housing Administration, or the Rural Housing Service, and private mortgage insurance (as defined in section 2 of the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998 as in effect on December 20, 2006).

Alaska Permanent Fund dividends, including those reported on Form 8814, are not investment income. For more details, see Pub. 550.

Gifts to Charity
You can deduct contributions or gifts you gave to organizations that are religious, charitable, educational, scientific, or literary in purpose. You can also deduct what you gave to organizations that work to prevent cruelty to children or animals. Certain whaling captains may be able to deduct expenses paid in 2008 for Native Alaskan subsistence bowhead whale hunting activities. See Pub. 526 for details. To verify an organization's charitable status, you can: · Check with the organization to which you made the donation. The organization should be able to provide you with verification of its charitable status. · See Pub. 78 for a list of most qualified organizations.

Gifts from which you benefit. If you made

a gift and received a benefit in return, such as food, entertainment, or merchandise, you can generally only deduct the amount that is more than the value of the benefit. But this rule does not apply to certain membership benefits provided in return for an annual payment of $75 or less or to certain items or benefits of token value. For details, see Pub. 526.
Example. You paid $70 to a charitable organization to attend a fund-raising dinner and the value of the dinner was $40. You can deduct only $30.

Note. Alaska does not have a state sales tax. Alaska residents should follow the instructions on the next page to determine their local sales tax amount.
The California table includes the 1% uniform local sales tax rate in additon to the 6.25% state sales tax rate. The Nevada table includes the 2.25% uniform local sales tax rate in addition to the 4.25% state sales tax rate. 3 The rates for Indiana, Iowa, Maryland, and North Carolina increased during 2008, so the rate given is averaged over the year. 4 Residents of Salem County should deduct only half of the amount in the state table.

Instructions for Schedule B, Interest and Ordinary Dividends
You can list more than one payer on each entry space for lines 1 and 5, but be sure to clearly show the amount paid next to the payer's name. Add the separate amounts paid by the payers listed on an entry space and enter the total in the "Amount" column. If you still need more space, attach separate statements that are the same size as the printed schedule. Use the same format as lines 1 and 5, but show your totals on Schedule B. Be sure to put your name and social security number (SSN) on the statements and attach them at the end of your return.

Use Schedule B (Form 1040) if any of the following applies. · You had over $1,500 of taxable interest. · Any of the Special Rules listed in the instructions for line 1 apply to you. · You are claiming the exclusion of interest from series EE or I U.S. savings bonds issued after 1989. · You had over $1,500 of ordinary dividends. · You received ordinary dividends as a nominee. · You had a foreign account or you received a distribution from, or were a grantor of, or transferor to, a foreign trust.
