If you work in a strip club and get plastic surgery, can any part of the expense but written as tax deduction?

Answer 1

Yes, and clothing that is specific to your job can be deducted also. If you have any other props or accessories that you use for business, they are deductible also. I do several tax returns for strippers and they also include videos, shoes, outfits, travel to other clubs, mileage, etc.

Answer 2

Yes. There was a court case about that. This woman had had an enlargement that came into the room five minutes before the rest of her did, and she argued that there is no way that she would do that for personal reasons, like to satisfy her husband. He testified that they were so big they actually got in the way and that she had gotten the surgery strictly for her stripper job. She won the case and the IRS let her keep the deduction.

Answer 3

I heard of one case where an exotic dancer was able to deduct implants. That case involved 56FF implants weighing 10 pounds each. As a rule, the IRS does not consider such surgery a deductible expense.

Answer 4

Yes, this is a doable thing. Because of the type occupation mentioned any business expense related thereto is deductible. Have a client who had to have inserts put in for lift; fully deductible as a business expense.

Answer 5

This deduction has been challenged in Tax Court by the IRS, and the IRS lost. So yes you can deduct cosmetic surgery that is considered ordinary and necessary for your work. Exotic dancers and other performers qualify, for example.

Answer 6

Do you claim every single dollar that you are tipped? Or do you just take the cash and walk away, or possibly only claim part of it. I wouldn't risk trying to claim something bogus when you probably don't claim all you make anyway, so when the IRS looks into this supposed deduction, they instead find out you have been withholding income from them. Even if you do claim every cent, I dont think plastic surgery is really a tax write off.

Answer 7

Yes you can if you document it properly. You must show you expected it to increase your income. It has been challenged by the IRS and they lost. Be sure you have been properly reporting all your income as this may be reviewed by an agent. I would suggest you have a CPA prepare the return.

Answer 8

I have heard of breast enhancement surgery being allowed as a deduction for an exotic dancer, but you would have to have your total medical deductions exceed 7.5% of your AGI. I've included a link to wierd irs deductions that were allowed, and they included breast augmentation for a stripper.

Answer 9

Yes

Answer 10

Probably, as others have documented, but don't do it. Fake titties just look wrong in the buff. They are fine under clothes.
