Hello:
It is my understanding that "aids for the blind" can be deducted when
filing incom taxes. This would include canes, watches, braillers, special
software like JAWS, Windo-Eyes, Openbook, or K1000. A computer, and scanner
are not usually deductible. It is possible to have a small business, and
scan stuff for people. In which case, the equipment, and software could be
deducted. Some years ago, I did a 3,000 page scanning job charging $0.75 per
page. In most areas, its pretty easy to set up a sole proprietorship. You
can check with your local Chamber of Commerce, or City hall for the local
rules. *** PLEASE NOTE: The above is my understanding. Besure to check with
an account, or attorney. ***
