BM>Over a certain amount a gift is taxable so your brother might be BM>required to pay some tax on that 50%. You might be able to deduct a BM>portion of the check to your brother as a gift, which would possibly BM>reduce your taxes. ...Just ideas -- see a tax professional (whose fees BM>can be part of the deductions from next year's taxes). ...Mileage BM>to/from doctor's visits (your's, your car, not shuttling someone else) BM>can also be a deduction. DS> Well, I didn't hear from the folks this week, so I'll have to DS> make phone calls on Monday. Good luck! ¯ ® ¯ Barry_Martin_3@ ® ¯ @Q.COM ® ¯ ® ....
