I'm particularly interested in deductions. Now that my son is nearly 18, I will be back to single instead of single head of household. I hope we are still able to deduct time space, payroll, and goods as we have in the past.

I agree the child tax credit should have extended to 18 instead of increasing the existing credit. They are way more expensive as they get older (and more annoying which we should be compensated for in some fashion).
hear hear!

Seriously, we have two kids left for the child tax credit and pay out the wazoo in taxes (both self employed, and our gross puts us in a higher tax bracket)

I would like to see special needs kids have a higher deduction, for instance, and for LIFE, if they're 100% disabled and will always be a dependent (like my 16 year old son)
