Cards and your taxes

Card fees and interest do not lower the tax on a salary: Section 34 of the Tax Code allows no deductions against compensation income. A self-employed cardholder who takes the 40% optional standard deduction gets it in place of itemized expenses, so card charges do not reduce tax there either.
