1. There are no guarantees for tax write-offs. Put money into a 401(k) or conventional IRA account.
2. Read about: - adjustments to income: http://www.irs.gov/publications/p17/pt04.html - itemized deductions: http://www.irs.gov/publications/p17/pt05.html
3. Just checked out Brian J's LINK and that is certainly a wealth of information, thanks Brian J!
