So if I get a prescription for hookers and blow for medical reasons...
Looks like the Jerry Springer set ....... stage not the rack ! PG-13 .
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.
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.
“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 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.
