Taxpayers may overlook many deductions. People whodon’t itemize their deductions often wrongly assume they don’t qualify for any. Actually, there are somedeductions available even to people who take the standard deduction. Generally, these are referred to asadjustments to income. Among the overlooked adjustments are those for moving expenses for a new job,educator expenses, tuition and fees expenses and student loan interest.
