Tax info for ED

Just in case others didn't know about this, apparently all of the expenses related to egg donation (including the donor fee, agency fee, psych and legal expenses, etc) that aren't covered by insurance are deductible on your taxes or coverable under a flexible spending account. Here's an IRS letter ruling explaining the justification.

After all of my frustration at how expensive this whole thing is getting, it's really great to get some relief!
