Get your taxes done using TurboTax

This is somewhat uncharted territory for the IRS, so I would be conservative in my deduction.  If your monthly payment is $1,000 and in return you get two free office visits per year, I would deduct the value of the free office visits rather than the $12,000 total.  If your monthly fee is somewhat in line with the services you receive in return, I would be okay deducting the full amount.  I've seen a lot of discussion on this, and the word "reasonable" is often used by the IRS.
