Passport Deduction for Border States Act of 2006

The Passport Deduction for Border States Act of 2006 proposed a change to the federal tax code that would allow residents of states bordering Canada or Mexico to deduct the cost of passport application fees from their taxes. This deduction would have been available to all eligible taxpayers, including those who do not itemize their deductions. If passed, the bill would have reduced the financial cost of obtaining travel documents for individuals living in the 15 U.S. states that share a land or water border with a neighboring country.
