Fort Wayne, Ind. (WFFT) - Tax season officially starts tomorrow. If you prepare taxes yourself or even if you use an accountant or tax service, it's a good isea to ask if you're entitled to the following deductions.

1. Medical Expenses

If your total medical expenses equal more than 7.5% (rising to 10% in 2013) of your adjusted gross income, you can deduct them. 

2. Business-Related Expenses

The expenses you incur during a job search, such as printing resumes, career counseling and even travel to interviews are all deductible. 

3. Mortgage Expenses

If you paid points on your home mortgage, you may be able to deduct the entire amount of the points on your original loan. 

4. Charitable Donations

Most people realize that if they give money to charity, that amount is deductible on their taxes. 

5. Higher Education

There are a number of tax credits and deductions available for people who are paying for higher education.
