With tax season once again upon us, everyone is scrambling to find as many deductions as possible. Sure there are the kids, and a lot of stuff you paid for on your vehicle and house that you can write-off - but there's a lot more you may have overlooked.

First and foremost - I don't want you on the run from the Internal Revenue Service, so make sure you run this past a reputable tax preparation service or accountant no matter how tempting the things on this list are.

The lasting victory of those vindicated write-offs is the legacy of precedent. According to Rocket HQ, if you are feeling especially froggy this tax season, there's legal footing to fight Uncle Sam on at least 6 things you may not have considered.
