Tax time is around the corner and all of us, if you haven't already, will file your taxes. Tax deductions become more and more important each year but what is funny, is how far some are willing to go to try to get a deduction. Here are some examples of some of the funnier tax deductions people have tried to take:
- A taxpayer asked for a home office deduction for the toilet paper he bought for his house
- A CPA was reviewing a business client's accounting entries and noted a check for over $2,000 written to a gynecologist. It was classified on the business books as 'repairs and maintenance.'
- A CPA had a woman who tried to deduct her tricked-out Jacuzzi hot tub due to medical reasons. That can be a legitimate expense -- but not the underwater speakers, the mood lighting and the in-tub stereo.
- A taxpayer wanted to write off a $100,000 swimming pool for medical reasons because swimming relaxed him so he could earn more money, which in turn would be taxable.
Nice try to all of them but to all of them.......goodnight.

If I could get a deduction for toilet paper I'd get a heck of a refund!
