Gets me to wonder what national TV stars like Whoopi Goldberg and Katie Cuoric, not to mention Andy Rooney, are claiming.
Sorry about the possible visual concept of Whoopi in a thong.

“Sorry about the possible visual concept of Whoopi in a thong.”

As bad as that is, it was the visual of Andy Rooney in a thong that disturbed me. Thanks a lot. Oh well, back to my naked psychologist again.

Expenses needed to be an anchor but not an ordinary office worker are fine to deduct (nails, hair, makeup, orthodontia, botox).

Others that any worker needs (underwear) is not.

I believe that the IRS allowed a stripper’s boob-job as an occupational expense, but that story suspends credibility because cash-paid strippers aren’t big taxpayers needing deductions.
