In certain cases, yes. As tax season approaches, it is interesting to reflect upon some of the more bizarre items that the IRS has considered as deductible expenses in the past. Although procedures such as rhinoplasty, botox, or a tummy tuck are not typically deductible, certain types of cosmetic surgery may be a legitimate tax write-off if considered necessary for a job.

In the case of exotic dancer Cynthia Hess (a.k.a. “Chesty Love”) , her size 56FF implants proved to be justifiable deductions as “vital props” essential for the purposes of making money at an Indiana strip club. Weighing 10lbs each, the dancer stated that the appearance of her implants became “freakish;” backing the claim that the implants were intended solely for business purposes rather than personal enhancement.

The implants were compared to work clothes and uniforms, which must pass a two-step test to be considered deductible: (1) required as a condition of employment and, (2) unsuitable for everyday use. Approaching the first condition, Hess labeled her breasts as part of the “costume” essential for maintaining employment as an exotic dancer. As for the second condition, Hess argued that her breasts were not practical for everyday use, and if medically possible, she would take them out at the end of the workday.

It was found that implants such as Chesty Love’s that are so extraordinarily large, are “useful only in her [particular] business” and, therefore, deductible.

The following are some other outlandish tax deductions that the IRS did not dispute or contest:

As part of a promotion, the owner of a nightclub hired exotic dancers for a performance. He deducted the cost of the dancers as a business expense.

In another promotion, a gas station owner gave away free beer to his customers. This promotion was also deducted as a legitimate business expense.

Though body builders cannot write-off specialty foods and drinks, they are allowed to deduct the cost of body oils as an ordinary and reasonable expense in the pursuit of their profession.
