Just over two weeks to go.Usually, our staff Certified Tax Cat handles readers’ questions about taxes, but caught his tail in an antique adding machine and is out on medical leave. Filling in for him is Laura’s dad, a retired accountant and independent tax preparer. The April 15th filing deadline is coming up, and Tax Dad is here to dispense his wisdom in between e-mails gently urging his daughter to just send over her 1098-E already. On to the questions! Dear Tax Dad, I’m a member of several professional organizations, which I pay for because my budget at work doesn’t allow for these memberships.
