If a stripper gets breast implants can she write it off on her taxes as a business expense? |
If a stripper gets breast implants can she write it off on her taxes as a business expense? Legally I don't see why she can't, however I wouldn鈥檛 advise it. I know that insurance companies don't cover such surgery, but most Strippers are independent contracts and have to pay for their own medical care. Breast implants will enhance her income and they are directly related to her work so she should be able to convince the IRS that this is a valid deduction. It isn't listed on the Small Business Tax Deductions forms, but she can write it in, and she is certainly a small (one person) business. Of course if she isn't declaring her stripper income then the IRS would be likely to investigate. Strippers don't get paid a salary; in fact most of them have to pay the strip club a stage rental fee (which would also be tax deductible). The only pay they get is tips, the fees they charge for lap dances, those tips, and what they charge in the private party rooms. Since the IRS felt it wasn't getting enough tip income from waitress it automatically charges them 7% tax for all the food they serve. So the stripper's tips would be subject to those rules (the tax code is based on tip income, not where they get them from). Waitresses are issued a document from their employer that states the dollar value of all the food they serve, but strippers don't get such a document. In fact the only people that keep track of the stripper's income is the stripper herself. If a stripper tries to deduct her breast implants as a business expense, then they better have tax records that prove that they are in a business where the implants would help her income, another words as a worker in the sex trade industry. I have no idea how the average stripper declares her income, if they lie, or if they pay the required self-employment tax. I think that a lot of them would claim their income from a more respectable "day time job." In this case they would launch an investigation if they claimed breast implants as a business deduction. They surely wouldn't want IRS inspectors in their home or showing up at their place of work. If the club finds out then they may band the stripper from working there. Yes, a stripper could claim breast implants as a business deduction, but only if they claim that they are strippers on their tax forms. Otherwise I wouldn't advise it.
