Sorry about that. When I wrote It has nothing to do with your tax return I wasn't very clear at all. What I meant was that someone else's deductions on their 1040 had nothing to do with YOUR own tax filing, deductions, exemptions, etc.

Many people don't have mortgages or children, in fact most don't, if you consider every taxpayer's lifetime of IRS filings. So your lack of deductions is not a direct transfer of money to a taxfiler who does have those deductions, in the way that the payment of $4500 to certain new car buyers is a direct transfer, aka "redistribution" of wealth.
