SALEM, MA--(Marketwired - Apr 1, 2015) - EVantage USA, Inc., exclusive developers of Polaris®-branded electric bicycles, is informing recent buyers that the eBike purchased may qualify as a possible tax deduction for their 2014 federal income tax.
According to Adam Rand, EVantage President, "Some customers have purchased our electric bicycles to help regain mobility and muscle strength after major surgery such as knee and hip replacement. This purchase may qualify as a medical expense if prescribed by a registered physician, and could be included in medical expense calculations."
Charles W. Petz, CPA and Chief Financial Officer of Crosslink, Inc., the accounting industry's leading provider of professional tax software solutions for high-volume retail tax businesses, explained, "the amount of a medical deduction starts at 10% of adjusted gross income. For example, if a person's adjusted gross income is $50,000, the medical expenses deduction floor would start at $5,000. Prescription medicines and prescribed therapy devices, such as an electric bicycle, indoor elevator, or hot tub spa would have to add up to more than the $5,000 allowed."
"We strongly recommend," Mr. Rand added," that both the tax filer and professional preparer thoroughly understand the requirements for the deduction for federal and any state income taxes and comply with all pertinent regulations."
