Hong, if you don't have enough deductions to itemize, I doubt that =
deducting investment expenses in excess of 2% will make the =
difference....
*assuming your adjusted gross income is $50,000
*the 2% limit means that you must have expenses greater than 0.02 x $50k =
or $1,000
*if you subscriptions cost you $1100 per year, only $100 is =
deductible...
I doubt that partial mortgage/rent is deductible unless you are =

Gene and Mike,
I got a dumb question. Even you can put IBD subscription and=20

it=20
worth to give up Standard Deduction? For married filling jointly, the =
standard deduction is $7,850. Can you put partial of your mortgage =
or=20
rent onto Schedule A as investment expenses? If not, what is big=20
chunk of miscellaneous itemized deduction? =20
I have no intention to knowing your expenses. I am just curious is it =
worth to use Schedule A. I maybe wrong.
