Taxday woes

I apologize in advance if I'm posting this in the wrong section, but I couldn't find a proper section to post this.

Anyhoo, the question is... does anyone know if all the $$$ forked over to the bureaucrat are tax deductible (K-1 visa stuff, AOS, etc etc)? Wife and I are still waiting for the AOS to come through pending FBI check and now she needs to shell out more money for reapplying the EAD.

thanks!

Nothing paid to the government is tax deductible, sorry there, sort of like taking a deduction on all the taxes paid the year before.

No. It is not tax deductible.

Only charitable donations (501 © 3 organizations, which the government is not) and certain expenses relating to your job are deductible as well as random other things...not paying dues to the government.
