The 13 Most Overlooked Tax Deductions...

AOL Money & Finance:

"Don't let an oversight force you to overpay your taxes. Here's a baker's dozen of deductions that you could easily miss or never realize you were entitled to take.

Every year, the IRS dutifully reports the most common blunders we taxpayers make on our returns. And every year, at or near the top of the list is forgetting to enter a Social Security number or making a mistake when entering the nine digits that identify us to IRS computers.

Before you bemoan such stupidity, ask yourself a simple question: Is that the most common error? Or just the most easily noticed goof?"
