Ugh, taxes confuse the heck out of me. But I think I just figured out that if I knew how to itemize some of my therapy would be tax-deductible. I didn't keep track of any of my paperwork though, and it'd be hard to figure out which part was reimbursed by insurance and which wasn't. Still. I might give it a shot. If you go over the standard deduction, how much of therapy ends up being tax-deductible? Anyone know? (And don't be surprised if that question doesn't actually make sense -- I'm not good with this stuff.) Last year my income was lower because I was out of work for 3 months. I also get to deduct the money that I spent enrolling in a certificate program (I checked, it definitely qualifies). :-) So if I could figure out the therapy aspect, it might be worth it. Hard work though. And I have no idea how it affects things that I used to pay for therapy with an FSA (meaning on some of it I didn't use taxed money anyhow). Ugh ugh ugh. I'm a designer. This isn't my field at all. Ugh ugh ugh. Any input?

Thanks, Sidony

P.S. Sorry this isn't really related to the whole therapeutic relationship. Sometimes life gets you stuck in mundane details like money....
