Whacky Tax Deductions

[pennypinch]

Haha.. I was just reading an article about some of the whackiest things people have tried to deduct from their taxes. Although I found them funny the IRS did not!

One guy kept track all year long of the money he spent having sex with prostitutes. He actually kept a journal and tried to claim the money spent as a medical expense! Ha! To top it off this guy is a lawyer! He spent $65,934. He won't be getting that back!

A musician who used to work for Rod Stewart once tried to claim his underwear as a deduction saying they were stage clothes. He was trying to deduct around $700. The court definitely ruled no on that.

A Massachusetts doctor tried to deduct thousands of dollars for him donating his sperm. Denied!

Thi is a good one simply because this comes from a self-employed tax preparer! She tried to deduct for nail polish remover, beer and underclothes as business expenses!

Boy people will try anything lol!
