Someone once tried to deduct:
• A luxury Amish buggy
• Bodybuilding oil
• A “business prop” breast augmentation
• Cat food for employee cats
• An arsonist labeled as a consultant
Yes, these are real IRS deduction stories.

What’s the funniest or strangest deduction you’ve ever heard someone try to claim?
