Section 4: Final Calculations OK. We are obviously in deep trouble here, dog agility aficionados. Still following me? Don't fret! Nifty easy formula! 4A: Section 1 Total + Section 2 Total = Subtotal Line 4A___________ 4B Section 3 Variable Subtotal = Subtotal Line 4B___________ 4C Add these together = Subtotal Line 4c___________ 4D Multiplier Line (4C) x (8.25%) + 8% of your mortgage if you bought a house with land just for dog agility. 4D2 If you rent or don't have a backyard, just add a big number you can't afford. 4E Subtotal from Lines 4D: ___________ 4F Write down your mortgage interest. Just for fun. No deducting this year! ___________ 4G Actual mileage of all dog vehicles, please make sure you've tracked this carefully throughout the year. This line is also just for fun, you don't get to deduct it, but hopefully you're getting the oil changed and tires rotated on a regular basis though, just a little reminder you may need new brakes this time around. Mileage: ___________ 4H Complete Lines 4F and 4G. Add two zeros on to final number. Then multiply by some more. More! More! That's your final total.
