what can be claimed as expenses for living?

[stopthebleeding]

I have pets what catagory do those expenses go? what about boy scouts and stuff like that. What about parking tickets. I get them alot because of where I live?

On Schedule J, Line 17, Other.

You add up all your miscellaneous expenses, that aren't otherwise categorized on Schedule J, and put the "lump sum" $$$ amount there.

On an addendum page, you detail what those "Other" expenses are individually with their respective $$$ amounts.

Expenses our attny listed there included pet expenses, hair care, school and work lunches, activities fees and such.

I definitely included my pets, their food, their medical costs etc. Shoooot within 2 months I dropped $2000 on my pets in vet bills. Shadow my black cat was really sick and lost alot of hair, he is doing much better now. And Genevieve my Bengal has a bit of the stomach flu shall I say.

Best of Luck CMIYC

catch me

BTW Catch me how is your kitty doing these days? Is she growing any hair back?
Im really upset as ive been told that the trustees in our court dont allow pet expenses. I have thee dogs plus various other small critters. I have to see what happens now. We pet owners need to rally against this with maybe the ASPCA or HSUS for support. The excuse? Are we supposed to just dump our fur babies in the pound? I mean, they could allow a measly $30 a month even, just something.
