Almost Wordless Wednesday: Tax day for you and your dog

It's April 15! Have you filed your taxes yet?





This is your friendly reminder that your pet is not tax deductible unless:
  • They're a service dog.
  • You can make money off of them (like if your dog does commercials).
I was also reminded by Tampa Bay Beagle Rescue that if you foster a pet for a 501(c)3 non-profit, you can take off those expenses too! Do you foster?
Otherwise, even though your dog or cat is your child, the government doesn't actually consider them children.

  1. I wonder if wearing human hats makes me a deduction? It is simply not fair Mom has to foot the bill for human children of others for school, etc, but can't deduct her fur kids. Bad IRS!

  5. Love it! BTW - we are planning to do a post highlighting the Beagle and would love to have you/your dog featured. Maybe we could do a Q&A? Let us know if you would be interested.
