Would have been great for us! I sometimes think it would have been cheaper to have kids! And then we would be getting the deduction.

Too bad this bill did not pass, many people would love to claim their pets on tax returns because they may not have kids or other dedictible expenses and they end up paying a lot for taxes in the end.

Judy,
You bring up a very good point. People are already having kids for the tax credit and government assistance. Those same people would quickly figure this one out and be acquiring pets left and right for a tax credit. A certificate should be required every year somebody tries to claim the credit.

This should pertain to cats, dogs, horses, and cows, not to include reptiles, mice or tamed wild animals. A health certificate should be submitted with the tax return. If tax return is filed online a certificate number should be submitted and verified by the Veterinarian. This would be good for the responsible bet owner and deter the unresponsible from taking the tax credit and hopefully deter people from getting an animal and not taking care of them just so they can get the credit

Sounds like a good idea to me, I’m thinking we could copy and paste part of the above article, and add your personal opionion and send it to your local and state reps. Plus email it to all the people you know.
