Can you tell me what a single woman with no children, home owner, full time employed, can claim on m

Since we have Bush as our current President, We have a limit of things we can claim on our taxes. I know I can claim head of household but that seems to be it. Most peole say they claim their home repairs, computers, monthly bus cards, etc. I don't own a car or have children, but I do take the bus to work everyday with a bus pass that is not cheap monthly. What is it that I can claim extra. I know I'm not the only one wondering.

Actually, Bush hasn't taken away deductions - and CONGRESS makes the laws, not the president anyway. There's plenty that Bush can be criticized for, but not this one.

That said..... no you can't file as head of household unless you have a closely related dependent. You said you have no children - if you are supporting a parent and can claim them as a deduction, then you could file as head of household, but not if you don't have any dependents. This is not a new rule.

Home repairs are not deductible, and haven't been, except that there is a home energy credit that might be available if you replace doors or windows, or insulate.
