Good news, moms. Finally that little bundle of joy will help you save, not spend. The IRS said today that breast pumps and other nursing supplies now qualify as tax-deductible medical expenses. The equipment can even be reimbursed under flexible-spending accounts or health-savings accounts.

- Associated Press
The move reverses last year’s ruling that excluded breast pumps and other similar breastfeeding aids from favorable tax treatment.
Here’s what WSJ’s Juggle blog has to say:
“Until now … nursing mothers couldn’t use flexible-spending accounts to pay for breast pumps and other nursing supplies because the IRS said that breastfeeding didn’t have enough health benefits to qualify as medical or preventative care.
Now, though, the IRS says that like obstetric care, nursing supplies are ‘for the purpose of affecting a structure or function of the body of the lactating woman.’ … The new ruling means that families can use pretax funds from their flexible spending accounts and health savings accounts for pumps and other supplies. Medical expenses, meanwhile, are not deductible until they exceed 7.5% of adjusted gross income. Breast pumps typically cost more than $200 and, along with supplies, can run as high as $1,000 in the first year of a baby’s life, Reuters reports.”
The agency hasn’t specified what supplies beyond pumps will be deductible. So stay on the lookout for the forthcoming guidance in the IRS’s revised publication 502, Medical and Dental Expenses. The publication also includes a laundry list of expenses that don’t qualify for deductions or reimbursements such as cosmetic surgery (no surprise), funeral expenses, and dancing lessons. Yet other items that don’t make the cut—like medical marijuana—have inspired taxpayers to lobby the IRS to consider them more seriously.
Readers, in light of the IRS’s recent rule reversal, what other items should the agency reconsider to qualify for deductions or health-savings account expenses?
Hi there! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an
established blog. Is it very hard to set up your own blog?
I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast. I’m thinking about creating my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any tips or suggestions? Thank you

Always make FCKEditor paste as plain text
Posted November 11th, 2008 in FCKEditor
FCKEditor is an in-browser Javascript WYSIWYG editor. It has a useful "paste as plain text" function which removes all formatting from the text in the clipboard before pasting it into the editor. This is useful for getting rid of all the additional HTML rubbish that Microsoft Word copies to the clipboard. This post looks at the function and then how to always enable the paste as plain text function in FCKEditor and a "gotcha" in Firefox.
The three paste icons in FCKEditor look like so, the first one being a regular paste, the second paste as plain text and the third paste from Word:
The paste from Word one doesn’t actually remove a lot of the formatting HTM rubbish so it’s almost always better to use the paste as plain text function and then re-format it to get rid of the bloated HTML.
You can make FCKEditor always paste as plain text globally by adding the following line to the fckconfig.js file (or your own custom configuration file):
FCKConfig.ForcePasteAsPlainText = true;
or to a specific editor by doing it in code, as in the following PHP example:
$oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor(‘editornamehere’);
…
$oFCKeditor->Config["ForcePasteAsPlainText"] = true;
…
$oFCKeditor->Create();
This works beautifully in Internet Explorer which simply pastes the clipboard contents into the editor after removing all the formatting. The Firefox "gotcha" is that it opens up the regular "paste as plain text" window first, you then have to click into the editor, and Ctrl+V paste again.
The regular "paste as plain text" dialog is shown below:
This is a real nusiance and makes it a bit unusable for Firefox. If the people who will be using FCKEditor will be using Firefox at all it’s probably best to not enable this automatic paste as plain text functionality and just get people to use the paste as plain text button when they need to do this until the FCKEditor developers have fixed this issue. I haven’t tried this out in Safari or Opera so don’t know if it has the same problem in those browsers.
