Tax Relief to Keep Pets at Home
U.S. Representative Thaddeus McCotter has introduced the Humanity and Pets Partnered Through the Years ("HAPPY") Act, legislation to allow individuals to claim tax deductions for qualified pet care expenses. This means that when you prepare your income taxes, money you spent on pet care that year would count as non-taxable income -- and you could deduct up to $3,500 per year!
We all want to give our animal companions the best care we possibly can, but it seems that pet care costs are always on the rise -- and these days, it's harder than ever to stretch the family budget. That's why the ASPCA supports H.R. 3501, which would amend U.S. tax code to allow qualifying pet care expenses, including veterinary care, to be tax-deductible.
Please help us support the HAPPY Act, H.R. 3501! Sign the petition HERE and tell a friend.
