Where did all the time go?! We're already in the final week of February, which mean, before too long, I'll officially be able to say I am procrastinating at getting my income taxes filed!

At least I'm thinking about it, which is probably why a CBS Moneywatch article on Yahoo! caught my eye today. It lists 16 deductions for which you'll want to be sure to check your qualifications. Several of them I can cross off right away - they still don't let you deduct your dogs and cats as children, after all! But I did find myself printing out a Schedule M! Check the list to see if you might be, too. And congratulations to those organized enough to have this task completed already!
