Tax day

It's after midnight, so it's officially Tax Day. Despite having filled out everything in my tax program, I haven't pressed the button to transmit it all to the IRS yet. I don't usually procrastinate so much on filing, but this year I've been hung up on a certain medical deduction. If you've read this blog for any amount of time, you'll know what I'm talking about.

The validity of my deduction is a big gray area as far as the IRS goes and is currently being litigated in federal court. The litigation has been going on for a few years without any ruling, which is kind of a bummer. I was really hoping to hear something before I had to file my taxes.

After I post this, I'm going to go ahead and send my stuff off. What do all of you think about GRS as a deduction based on medical necessity? Would you put in under the same category as purely cosmetic procedures (breast enhancement, face lifts), which aren't deductible, or under the category of covered procedures such as stomach stapling?
