Though I'll return to Boston come September and love it for its own peculiarities, I'm devoting this summer to re-learning to love Minnesota. I've lost my faint Boston accent and I'm droppin' the g's off of most'-ing' words these days. I'm walking to the grocery store and writing a check every time, and they never ask me for ID.

"We've been burglarized 10 times, and nobody ever sees a vehicle or a person," says Tom Sapien...

That might explain why the agency will now allow smokers to deduct the unreimbursed cost of antismoking programs or prescription drugs as a medical expense on their returns--as long as total medical costs exceed 7.5% of gross income. (Nicotine patches and gum don't count.) To make a claim from previous years, file a 1040X amended return...
