in. for the afternoon, monday, tuesday and wednesday, a continues to migrate east. that will bring a change in the wind direction. and a big change in the temperature. so with wind out of the southwest, monday through wednesday, temperatures will be climbing. warmer each and every day. a persistent climb with a big jump tomorrow. ten to 25 degrees above normal. record warm possible on wednesday. today, seasonable chill in the air. forty-five, the high in the city. forty in monticello. tonight, a few clouds. cold again. twentys for some in the suburbs. tomorrow, a little bit of a breeze. topping out at 57. mostly sunny and beautiful. wind out of the southwest at 10 up to 15 miles per hour. the extended forecast. fifty-seven tomorrow on monday. looking at a lot of sunshine and breezy.

such a great guy. we were good friends. i cannot accept this. >> the names of the teenagers have not been released. friends tell us the driver was arrested. but police have not confirmed this. it is tax season. and that usually comes with a lot of questions. six more weeks to go until the april 18 deadline. we have our tax expert here to answer some questions that viewers had. i want to start with this idea of a training course. specially with it jobs, you have to spend a lot of money on training. >> what part of that can be written off? >> it depends. you have to define -- is this the same job or a different job? if it is for a different job, it will not be deductible. the other thing is -- if it is a minimum requirement -- let's say you have to do this in order to practice the profession -- that too would not be deductible. if it is -- a course you are and because your employee

if it is something that will improve the job you are already in, then it would be deductible. like most things in the tax world, no simple answer. >> somebody else asked -- i mother's death. how is that text? >> i love this question. it gives me a chance to say two entire world. say it with me. tax-free. >> i like that. lot of those times when it does not apply. >> life-insurance is one of the best. if you get a life insurance policy -- a lot of times, we have clients come into the office and will have a large check for life insurance -- what do i do with this? they put it in the bank. and we tell them -- it is okay. >> when you're getting it -- you obviously going through such a hard time. and you don't want to have to worry about something else on

on the flipside, lottery winnings. people always wonder what to do with those in terms of taxes. and then what happens with gambling losses as well? >> a lot of questions about that. the winnings of course are going to be included with income. the losses, can only be detected to the extent of your gambling winnings. if you bought a lot of lottery tickets -- let's say you bought 1000 lottery tickets that were $2 a piece, you could take the $2000 off of your $1 billion winnings. so that is not accounted for too much. >> we see a lot of these gofundme account. people set them up to help someone in need like with medical expenses. is that donated money taxable? >> it really depends. this is a great question. a lot of times -- technology outpaces congress. congress is very slow to act in many ways. they really set the loss. this is an area of the law that is really up to a lot of questions. there was a situation last year where a young girl who needed medical care -- they set up a gofundme page.

generally, -- if you look at the gofundme page, it will say, typically, it is a gift. and gifts are not taxable to the recipient. however, the irs had this poor girl with a -- taxon $50,000. they said she owed about $18,000 -- in that range -- taxes and penalties. we don't know. it will go to court. this is an area of the law that will evolve in the court. and at some point, congress will probably catch up and make some definitive guidance. but really don't know right now. >> sometimes you see energy efficient appliances -- some people say you can write those off. how true is that? and which ones can you and can you not right off. >> it used to be more flexible. years ago, if you bought a toaster that was energy efficient, you might be able to write that up. today, it is more about making your home energy efficient. it is more geared toward things like -- -- if you put solar panels on your roof or a special tax credit for geothermal heating. and all that fun stuff.

appliances will help lower your electric bill but not necessarily your tax bill. if you get a new boiler or whatnot, that is possible. really so client -- if you would or something like that, bring it to the office. let us make that decision. don't you decide. chances are, you might miss something. it is always easier for us to pull something out that we don't need then it is for us to add something. >> because you don't know what you can write off and all of the expenses. >> exactly. >> we have gotten a lot of questions related to child care. some of them have to do with adoption. we have one about surrogacy -- that the surrogate is pregnant -- which expenses you can deduct. what kind of like can you shed in terms of people adopting are having a child three star get? >> for adoption, there is a special credit. up to about $13,000. it is a little more than that. that can eliminate up to about $70,000 of taxable income in some cases. very powerful credit. generally, anything you do toward making that child your

a qualified expense for that credit. things like traveling -- to get the child -- the lawyer expenses, act -- they can be very flexible. it has been favorable within the code. in terms of surrogacy, that is a really interesting topic. generally, you're not able to deduct expenses for someone not in your family. usually those expenses are not did -- -- deductible. >> thank you so much for being here. we have a million more questions for you. luckily, for more information on tax tips, you can head to our website on www.cbsnewyork.com.
