Dealing With The Awkward Phase(s) Bear in mind that hair, on average, grows a quarter of an inch to half an inch per month. So even though the goal is to grow out your hair as quickly as possible, youâll still need to check in with your stylist every 4 to 6 weeks. âThis will maintain healthy hair, and will help you avoid the potential mullet syndrome, where there is an imbalance between the length and the layers,â says Cutler.
The standard deduction is the simplest way to deduct medical costs from your taxes. Rather than totaling all of your allowable deductions, you can simply subtract the standard deduction from your adjusted gross income. In 2010, the standard deductions were $5,700 for single taxpayers, $11,400 for married couples and $8,400 for head of household taxpayers. In certain situations, you can take an even higher standard deduction.
Medical expenses: The new law preserves the deduction for medical expenses and temporarily reduces the limitation from 10% to 7.5% of adjusted gross income for tax years 2017 and 2018. Beginning in 2019, only medical expenses that exceed 10% of adjusted gross income are deductible.
