Sex Subsidy Disallowed
The Tax Appeals Determination in Matter of William G. Halby, DTA Nos. 821494 & 821810 (18 September 2008) is a good read. One sample paragraph is set forth below
"For the 2002 tax year, petitioner claimed a medical expense deduction of $105,271.00, after the 7.5% limitation on federal adjusted gross income (AGI). Included among the medical expenses claimed was an expense of $111,364.00, of which $40,588.00 was categorized on an attachment to Schedule A on petitioner's federal return as 'therapeutic sex' and $70,776.00 as 'massage therapy to relieve osteoarthritis and enhance erectile function through frequent orgasms.' Also included as part of the medical expense deduction claimed were the sums of $658.00 for medical books, videos and periodicals and $2,173.00 for 'pornography to enhance sexual performance in lieu of taking Viagra.'"

My question: It specifically indicated on the taxpayer's FEDERAL tax return that he was claiming these relatively large dollar value deductions. The New York people threw a flag on the play. How did this ever get by my ex-colleagues at the IRS?
