I knew a guy years ago who would have his doctor write prescriptions for over-the-counter medications like Tylenol and certain types of shampoo so he could deduct the costs on his tax returns.

Due to those changes, only about 18 million households will itemize in 2018, down from 46.5 million households in 2017, according to the Joint Committee on Taxation.

If I held stock in H&R Block I would dump it NOW.

The funniest one was when I had a minister list “birth control pills” as a housing allowance expense excluded from taxable income.

I ask him why?

He replied that without the pills he would need a bigger house!!!

If you drive a truck for a living you can write off Dog expenses as a “Security” cost. There is a fringe benefit that comes with this too... Where there are regulations controlling “idle time” or what’s called “anti-idle” laws having a pet on board makes you exempt. They don’t care if a human freezes to death, but they would never allow this to happen to a pet and so they are an exception to the rule.

Here’s one situation where a swimming pool isn’t just a money pit: Your doctor prescribes it to treat a medical condition.

“If your doctor prescribes exercise in a swimming pool and you need it to mitigate a disease, it could be deductible as a medical expense,” said Greene-Lewis.

 

This is interesting. We did get a doctors note when we bought our hot tub. Because it was a medical expense, we did not have to pay state sales tax. Saved a few hundred bucks. But we didn't deduct it our on IRS Returns.

I wrote off the costs of my model airplane hobby for 20 years because I claimed it as small business.

I would design, build and sell a few kits a year which made the model airplane hobby expenses all deductible.

I included everything but grocery bills and pet expenses.
