 DK> well i agree with phil too but dosn't blind adaptive equipment, clothing,
 DK> travel expense (cars purchases etc) qualify as a tax right off?

Well, you included too many things in your write offs.  The only
time that you can have a write off as the things you described,
would be if you are business for yourself.  Clothing would only
apply, if you were required to wear a uniform.  Travel expenses
only if you go on a business trip.  Travel between work and home
does not count.  Even guide dog expenses have to come under your
medical expense allowance, and If you don't have too many medical
expenses, it won't help you, since they have cut down a great deal
on medical expenses.
