**** to tell you this...

But hookers, pills and porn aren't tax deductible medical expenses. Sorry guys...

The issue before the tribunal, the judges wrote solemnly, was whether a taxpayer could claim a medical expense deduction “for amounts paid for erotic materials, sexually related publications, male enhancement pills, and miscellaneous services performed by prostitutes.”

The decision: Hell, no!

In a just-released 12-page opinion, New York State’s Tax Appeals Tribunal unanimously ruled that William G. Halby, a long-separated, 79-year-old retired tax lawyer from Brooklyn, could not deduct $296,495 from his state taxes for 2002, 2003 and 2004. The disallowed sum included $5,632 of bank and credit card charges.

Rest of Story

you think Forbes could find a more relevant photo than the movie poster to "Pretty Woman".

this is a bit disappointing, but at least i can still write off the 25 gallons of sperm I donated this year...

And people wonder why the government is trying to ***** the 1099 forms on small business.

You get all these services free on the NHS if you go down the right channels

[nerffren]

Only a fucking TAX LAWYER would describe a handjob as:
“massage therapy to relieve osteoarthritis and enhance erectile function through frequent orgasms.”

it took 12 pages of an opinion to get out "HELL NO" I swear I **** my country sometimes

and we **** you too.

 

[iamaham123]

they are not tax deductible for us common folk... but anyone holding a governmental office gets a discount

 

[Forest_green123]

See the problem is they didn't have any ********* on the list. If it was on there, then it could have been written off as a medical expense.

Why would anyone think that this stuff would be a write-off? Greedy politicians are the only ones that would try to pass any of these off as they're all fucking criminals and look for excuses to break the law behind closed doors.

business expense....how else do people get hired?

 

[xfire]

Same people who say 'fuck you, I got mine'. "Successful businessmen" are crooks.

I'm not surprised about the guy in the article. People are trying to get a tax deduction on almost everything. I got this off the internet, so not sure if 100% true, but obviously Chesty Love got a tex deduction on her implants because they were part of her "acting" as a stripper.

And: in germany, there is a tax deduction roughly translated as "advertisement costs", where you can put in all your expenses for applications (photos, Paper, Stamps, travel expenses...). I wonder if I could deduct the costs I have for dating a girl. Because, technically, I'm advertising myself, just like when I'm applying for a job... right?

 

[dieselpower2]

Its all about working the system and he's a tax lawyer how did he think he could write that off? I give him points for trying

 

[mojnhardoo]

I wonder who proposed this. He will have my vote for sure!
Lower taxes are good taxes.

However futuristic weapons like plasma guns and Boba Fett jet packs are.

This is funny. Why would they even waste time dealing with this man...Why isn't he in jail for hiring prostitutes? It probably would matter though he's 79 but he wouldn't have to spend a penny in jail. haha

 

[maxpower076]

what a waste of time

 

[jellybelly]

Rather comical. Definitely got a good laugh outta that. xD
