Talk:Above-the-line deduction

Title
Might this article more accurately be titled "adjustments to income" or similar? My understanding is that "above-the-line" is a common but nontechnical term for the items. chrylis (talk) 00:05, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

UserPost: This article is so-titled to explain "above-the-line" and what it means. To clarify, if you wanted to know what "above-the-line" means in terms of tax deductions then you are referred to this page. The title is exactly right and accurate as is. (I hope I'm adding to the convo properly as using the "Edit" function seems like a very strange and cumbersome way to to post a message here) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.192.157.73 (talk) 19:42, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
