I work in a job where all my patients/clients SS number is posted on their record. SS numbers vary by state and region. For example in the state I now live in, Louisisana, everybody's SS number begins with a 43-something, including my kids who were born here. My SS number begins with a 121, because I was born and worked in NY state before I moved to Louisiana. The SS numbers in California begin with a 5.
Every once in awhile I find someone in Louisiana that has a social security that is totally different from everybody's else. It happened again today. The guy had a 212 beginning SS number which I think is Mass or NJ or someplace up north. The guy insists he was born and raised here, and never worked anywhere else. How can that be?

...I am a professional speaker on the topic? I advocate the use of these lifestyles, therapies, and products for health, wellness, and slowing the aging process. I definitely practice what I preach. I use/do everything I recommend in my speeches. I am in my mid-50s and look (and act) much younger.

I know that I am a walking promotion for my speaking business and that my appearance and behavior validates my expertise/opinions in the audience's eyes. Therefore, I have to believe that my personal use of vitamins, supplements, and other alternative therapies should fall under the category of a business expense and be tax deductible. I am told by colleagues that this is "probably" true, but no one can give me any hard data to back up that claim.

If you agree (or disagree), can you give me the references I would need and could use if the tax deductions are ever challenged by the IRS.

Thank you for you help.
