Richard, Thanks for the link. My wife and I are fully aware the interpreter fee would exceed reasonable accomodations. But, that made me think of something..

If we're paying $60 for a 2-hr meeting and our homeowner's association fees are $50/year, what would it hurt to ask that our fee be waved so that we can pay the interpreter's bill? (We only paid $120 total in interpreter's fees last year, the other meeting was my wife giving a presentation to Girl Scouts or something.)

DeafScuba, We already have enough deductions to itemize on Schedule A, instead of accepting the standard deduction. I'll look into placing interpreter fees (and your $40 ) under miscellaneous. They can always audit us!

P.S. I just read in the local Sunday paper that Senator Harkin was in a banquet room next to a restaurant where we were eating dinner on Saturday night! DOH!
