Interesting Tax Deduction

[Perchoutofwater]

 

I just can not believe this ruling. Are all elective procedures tax deductible? If I send my wife in for a new set of D's and a tuck do I get to deduct? Seriously you can't deduct the cost of a hearing aid but you can deduct a sex change. That's fudup.

Yeah, that one was a head scratcher. Haven't read the case, but the only way the result would come out the way it did was if the "gender reassignment" were deemed "medically necessary," which I suppose might be justified in some extremely rare cases. Bigger boobs, while practically necessary, aren't "medically necessary."

 

And no, not all elective procedures are deductible.

If you're wife is a man, then it's tax deductible. If not, you're out of luck... Or in luck - depending on how you look at it.
