State 4-H'ers
to Judge Land
in Oklahoma
ATHENS—Four young soil
experts have been selected to
represent Georgia at the Inter
national Land Judging Contest
at Oklahoma City in April.
Albany residents Richard
Grebel, Mike Grebel and James
McCartney of the Dougherty
County 4-H land judging team
made the state team by turning
in the highest county team
score in state 4-H competition.
Tony Bryson, Perry, became
the fourth member when he
chalked up the top individual
score in the central Extension
district.
According to Harold Dar
den, Extension 4-H leader,
contestants were scored on
their ability to gauge land
qualifications by capability,
soil structure, erosion charac
teristics and recommended
treatment. All 4-H’ers in the
land judging program, he
added, learn not only to
appreciate the soil, but also to
protect and improve it.
District team championships
went to groups from Floyd,

Dougherty Counties.

Don’t Lose Tax Dollars
Claim Medical Expenses
Tax deductible medical expenses are defined as
money spent. in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation,
treatment or prevention of disease, or for the purpose
of effecting any structure or function of the body.
That sounds very simple, but can be rather
complicated. So, just what does the Internal Revenue
Service allow you to include in your medical
deductions?
You may deduct
prescription and
non prescription medicines.
You may also deduct vitamins,
tonics and special diet
supplements, but only if they
are prescribed by your doctor.
You may not deduct
cosmetics, toiletries or special
foods that replace what you
would normally eat.
If you must buy or install
special equipment such as
elevators, air cleaning systems,
pools, etc., on the orders of a
doctor, you can claim part of
the cost as a deduction. If the
installation of said equipment
increases the value of your
home, you may deduct only
the amount above the
increased value. For instance,
if you install an air cleaning
system that costs a thousand
dollars, and it increased the
value of your home by four
hundred dollars, you may only
deduct six hundred dollars.
You may deduct the entire
cost of a nursing home if the
reason for being there is the
availability of medical care. If
the reason for being in the
home is convenience or
otherwise personal in nature
the entire cost is not
deductible, but the costs of
medical services in the home
are still deductible. Also, the
cost of meals, lodging and
tuition at a special school is
deductible if the reason for
being in the school is to relieve
a mental or physical handicap.
Examples would be schools
for the deaf or blind that
teach lip reading or braille.
However, disciplinary schools
for “problem, children” are
not deductible.
Os course, the costs of the
services of a doctor,
psychiatrist, practical or
registered nurses and even
Christian Science practitioners
are deductible. Also,
laboratory fees, x-rays, false
teeth, fillings, bridge work,
eyeglasses and contact lenses,
artificial body parts, crutches,
orthopedic shoes, seeing eye
dogs, wheel chairs, special
automobile controls for the
handicapped and even the
salary paid to someone who
serves as a guide to the blind
are all deductible.
However, health club fees,
the cost of domestic help for
the sick or disabled, maternity
clothes, diaper services, sport
lessons for general health, even
when recommended by a
doctor, are not deductible.
Insurance premiums for
policies that cover
hospitilization, surgery, care
by a doctor, medicines, and
other medical costs are
deductible. Also, the amount
you contribute to the
voluntary section of medicare,
membership fees paid to
cooperative medical groups
and the portion of premiums
paid for the medical coverage
offered in a policy that also
covers non-medical expenses
are deductible. Premiums for
policies that pay a certain
amount per week in the event
of illness are not deductible.
Neither are premiums paid for
life, disability or accidental
death or injury insurance.
One that surprises lots of
people is that transportation
to and from the doctor’s
office, the hospital or other
medical institutions can be
taken off your income tax. If
you drive, you can deduct six
cents a mile, plus toll and
parking fees. You may deduct
the cost of ambulance service,
the cost of traveling to
another city or state for
treatments, and the travel
costs of a nurse or other adults
who must go with the patient
that is unable to travel alone.
You may not deduct the cost
of meals or lodging unless they
are supplied by a hospital or
other medical facility. You
may not deduct the cost of
travel for general health
reasons.
Os course, you may take
any allowed deductions for
dependents as well as for
yourself.
There are a few other
medical deduction regulations
you should know about. For
instance, of your total medical
expenses you may deduct only
the amount that is above three
percent of your adjusted gross
income, so you must add all of
your expenses together to
arrive at this figure. Further,
while your total medical
deduction should include all
medical fees from transportion
through surgery, you may
only add the cost of drugs in
excess of one percent of your
adjusted gross income to your
total medical deductions.
Your gross adjusted income is
listed on line 18 of your tax
return. Finally, the three
percent limitation applies to
half of the amount you paid in
health insurance premiums
during the year. You may
deduct the other half, up to
$150.00, separately.
