I'd be very surprised if the tt allowed a "gifts" line item.

Do you donate anything to charity on a regular basis? If so, you can claim that as well. Doesn't mean you should start now if you never have before...~Staci

Some other areas to ensure you cover (if applicable)
Personal property taxes
Health Insurance deductibles (in addition to copays / meds)
Pet food
Vet care
Dental expenses (also include any deductibles)
Vision (eye exams, contacts, glasses, etc)
Auto insurance / home insurance premium increases (if in a credit profiling state due to filing BK)
Roadside assistance programs (AAA, Coachnet, Goodsam, etc)
Newspapers / magazine subscriptions
Somewhere you need to budget for emergency fund; if you arent at the national standard in some areas, go up to whatever it is and pull from that. Murphy comes knockin'... trust me.Comment

I used the national standard for the food/clothing/personal/misc. As far as operating expenses, housing/utilities/ and medical costs, we are above.
Frankly the operating allowance is a joke. Either they expect people to drive 5 miles to work or gas is $1.00 a gallon.Comment
